Thursday, January 3, 2013, 17:16 [IST]

Aishwarya Rai's pregnancy and subsequent weight gain sparked a lot of critical response from fashion commentators. This was partly because Ash braved the efforts of the media to keep her at home and came into the limelight much before she could shed her post pregnancy weight. Aishwarya Rai's pregnancy left her with oodles of extra pounds. But her unique sense of plus size fashion has silenced all her critics.

If you are struggling with post pregnancy weight, you must check out Ash's wardrobe. Aishwarya Rai's post pregnancy collection of clothes have helped her cope with the weight gain in a graceful way. First of all, Aishwarya's post pregnancy clothes are all Indian. This desi style statement helped her look sober and cover up the extra flesh. Nothing covers up those awkward bulges like a nice saree.

Most of Aishwarya Rai's post pregnancy clothes are full sleeved. This is because her arms had become heavy. She wore lots of lovely Anarkali suits during this time. Now as her waist is getting slimmer, she is looking much better in well-fitting anarkali suits. Another plus size fashion trick used by Ash was the kaftan style. She wore loose gowns at Cannes 2012. This style hid her unflattering waistline.

If you want to take style tips from Aishwarya Rai's post pregnancy clothes, check out the following pictures.

The Over-sized Salwar Kameez

This is Ash's first public appearance after her delivery. She is hiding her extra pounds under the oversized salwar kameez. We love the colour combination.

Red Sabyasachi Outfit

Ash looks vibrant in this red Sabayasachi outfit. It is like a contemporary lehenga and blouse that she wore for the Longines awards in Dubai.The dupatta is as pretty as the dress; it white with red polka dots.

Black Kurti

Black is a colour that always makes you look slimmer. That is why this black kurti is the right choice for an over-sized Ash.

Shaded Dress At Cannes

This loose and flowing dress looks really stylish on Aishwarya. The colour combination also contributes to making her look slimmer. Shaded fabric are not really in fashion but this particular outfit looks classy.

Ash In A Saree At Cannes

This saree and blouse design became the talk of town after Ash walked the red carpet at Cannes. The saree is draped in an interesting way to show off the exquisite blouse.

Dress Or Kurta?

This floor length kali kurta tulle dress has left us confused. If it was not for the dupatta, we would have thought it was a gown. But whatever be the design, it looks lovely on Ash.

Black And White

The black and white combination seems to work for Aishwarya in all outfits be it dress, suit or saree. This stark colour combination gives Ash a very striking look.

Kaftan Style Dress

Ash wore this loose printed kaftan at Cannes 2012. This dress very smartly covers her unflattering waist.

White Lehenga

Ash looks serenely beautiful in this South Indian avatar. We just love the bindi and flowers in her hair. The white lehenga has a shimmering layer of sequins.

White Churidar Kurta

This white anarkali looks amazing on Ash after she has lost most of her post-pregnancy weight. The dress has a perforated texture that adds a touch of elegance to it.

Finally Some Colour

After a long time, we finally see the Bachchan Bahu in a bold colour. This bright pink coloured suit worn on Diwali is a much needed change in her fashion statement.

Over-sized T-Shirts

Ash has started wearing Western outfits again. But body-hugging clothes won't suit at the moment. So she is wearing slacks and loose-fitting long t-shirts.
