Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is coming off a series of style hits from her incredible gowns at Cannes 2013 to her Times Of India Film Awards (TOIFA) saris to her casual chic look at the Chime for Change charity event she attended this past weekend.

The Bollywood superstar has come a long way since she won the Miss World 1994 crown at 21 years old.

Not only has she starred in hit films such as " Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and " Taal" but she has been universally dubbed as the "Most Beautiful Woman in the World" and was a popular spokesperson for beauty mega-brand, L'Oréal Paris.

Just as important, the 39-year-old has a new family. Ash married fellow Bollywood actor, Abhishek Bachchan, in 2007 and the couple welcomed daughter Aaradhya in 2011. (Rai's cute tot even has her famous mom's flair for fashion.)

So where did the brunette beauty get her fashion education? For this, we look back to her pageant looks from Miss World 1994. Let's take a trip to the past!
