Aishwarya Rai is considered by many to be the most beautiful woman on the planet. A former Miss India and Miss World (1994), she uses two commonly seen flirtatious signals in this posed photograph to dial-up her sex appeal.
When the armpits are exposed, it sends signals of confidence and comfort, but it also releases pheromones or pheromone-like substances. These chemical messagers stimulate the olfactory (sense of smell) systems of potential lovers - some more than others. This pose has the additional effect of putting the breasts dominantly on display. It's also a body language which signals over-all health and wellbeing. When a woman adopts the armpit exposed configuration, she is physically attracted to someone in the immediate area.
Aishwarya's hand/finger is also discretely pointing to her right eye. This subtle directing of another's gaze to one's own eye is a high-yield flirting tactic. Ms. Rai - or anyone else who displays this nonverbal - wants you to look (not stare) into her eyes. To increase the flirtation further she may hold your gaze for a second or two then, then look down, and look back up again, re-establishing eye contact along with a subtle smile. Slow preening of her hair (back or side of her head) while keeping her elbow out and armpit exposed, further would further amplify this effect.
