Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif is set to dazzle at the 2015 Cannes International Film Festival as brand ambassador of L'Oreal Paris, Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.

Katrina, 31, will join Bollywood actresses Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor at the 12-day festival from May 13 to 24.

"I am very excited to represent L'Oreal Paris and India at the Cannes Film Festival this year," she said in a statement.
