Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan turned heads at Paris Fashion Week, stepping onto the runway in a dramatic black velvet ensemble topped with a sparkling tiara.
The actor appeared in a corset-style black velvet fishtail gown, complemented by a crystal-covered cape that added a theatrical touch to her look. She completed the outfit with a dazzling jewel-encrusted tiara, dewy makeup and her signature red lipstick.
Aishwarya, who represented L’Oréal Paris at the event, was also spotted mingling with fellow celebrities during rehearsals. A video showing her speaking with British actress Simone Ashley and warmly holding her hands gained attention online.
She later reunited with longtime friend and fellow L’Oréal ambassador Eva Longoria.
The brand posted pictures of its star-studded global ambassadors arriving at the Eiffel Tower for Le Défilé 2026 on Instagram.
The line-up included Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Simone Ashley, Marie Bochet, Viola Davis, Cara Delevingne, Jane Fonda, Bebe Vio Grandis, Luma Grothe, Kendall Jenner, Aja Naomi King, Eva Longoria and Andie MacDowell.
Aishwarya has remained a prominent presence on the international fashion circuit throughout the year. At the Cannes Film Festival, she made headlines with a traditional white saari designed by Indian artist Manish Malhotra.
With her distinctive red-carpet choices and longstanding association with major international fashion events, Aishwarya continues to draw attention for her fashion appearances.
