In pictures: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan struts at Paris Fashion Week

The coveted Paris Fashion Week is in full swing with a myriad of celebrities and supermodels strutting down the runway in alluring attires. The star-studded sixth edition of L'Oréal Paris' runway show celebrating beauty and fashion show took place under the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Sunday night.

The constant attendee, Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made headlines this week as she rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest names in Hollywood.

The former Miss World walked for L'Oreal alongside Navya Naveli Nandi, who made her runway debut at the same show, PEOPLE reported. The Bachchans, comprising Jaya and Shweta Bachchan Nanda, were also present in the audience cheering Navya and Aishwarya.

Apart from Bollywood artists, the likes of Viola Davis, Kendall Jenner, Camila Cabello, Andie McDowell, Eva Longoria, Elle Fanning, and Helen Mirren among others.

One of the pictures that went viral from the event was Aishwarya posing with the supermodel Kendall alongside the former's daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. In one of the videos that had been making rounds on social media, we see the Devdas star walking down the runway as she does her signature wink and wave.

About Paris Fashion Week 2023

A lot of designers were keen to drain the colour from spring and summer. Christian Dior, Saint Laurent, Victoria Beckham, Mugler and hyped newcomer Peter Do were among the many brands with muted, often monochrome palettes.

Some observers were dismayed and also felt there was a lack of innovation. "Where are your colours? Where are your ideas, except those that come from archives?" chided veteran fashion watcher Cathy Horyn, now of New York Magazine's The Cut.

Balmain's flowery recovery

Balmain bucked the colourless trend with a shiny and exuberant show that it managed to pull together despite a dramatic robbery - dozens of its outfits were stolen on their way from the airport just 10 days earlier.

There were lots of roses. A woman seemingly lost in an entire red bush of them, another with a swoosh of golden feathers with roses on the tips, and a range of rose-print tops, dresses and mini-skirts. There were also some ultra-bling, glittering flower concoctions that verged on haute couture extravagance. "Florals for spring? Groundbreaking..." designer Olivier Rousteing wrote with apparent irony on Instagram.
