AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN made a
spellbinding appearance at L’Oréal Par
is’ runway show during Paris Fashion
Week 2025, joining an extraordinary
lineup of global icons including Helen
Mirren, Jane Fonda, Gillian Anderson,
and Viola Davis.
Representing Indian grace and interna
tional glamor, Aishwarya once again
proved why she remains one of Bolly
wood’s most enduring and recognized am
bassadors on the world stage. Her appear
ance wasn’t just a fashion statement—it
was a celebration of heritage, empower
ment, and timeless beauty.
For the grand occasion, Aishwarya
wore a custom-made sherwani-inspired
ensemble designed by Manish Malhotra,
one of India’s most celebrated couturi
ers. The outfit brilliantly reimagined tradi
tional menswear with a modern androgy
nous couture twist, symbolizing both
power and poise.
Featuring a raised bandhgala collar, dia
mond-studded buttons, padded shoul
ders, and a sculpted silhouette, the black
sherwani balanced structure with a fluid,
body-hugging elegance. It was paired with
flared pants and crystal-studded animal
brooches, shimmering playfully under the
runway lights and adding a touch of whim
sy to its commanding sophistication.
Completing her look with her signature
ruby red lips and glossy, cascading hair,
Aishwarya exuded regal confidence as she
walked the ramp.
Every step captured the essence of In
dian royalty blended with Parisian flair,
embodying the show’s message of cele
brating women across ages, cultures, and
backgrounds. The audience responded
with admiration as Aishwarya’s poise,
grace, and aura transformed the catwalk
into a spectacle of elegance.
Designer Manish Malhotra described
the sherwani as a “couture masterpiece
where structure meets softness” and where
“tailoring asserts power yet carries mod
ern sensuality.” His words perfectly re
flected Aishwarya’s look—one that defied
conventional fashion boundaries while
staying rooted in Indian tradition.
Over the years, she has alternated be
tween dramatic gowns and understat
ed silhouettes at Paris Fashion Week.
However, this diamond-embellished sher
wani marked a powerful evolution in her
international style journey, representing
both her boldness and her affinity for cul
tural reinterpretation.
Behind the scenes, Aishwarya shared
candid glimpses from the event on her In
stagram, posting pictures and videos with
fellow L’Oréal ambassadors and caption
ing one post: “Shine on my dear @loreal
paris family.” Her social media was flood
ed with appreciation from fans and fash
ion critics alike, who praised her for bring
ing Indian craftsmanship to one of the
world’s most influential fashion runways.
The star-studded event also featured ap
pearances by Heidi Klum, Kendall Jenner,
Andie MacDowell, and Eva Longoria, each
representing different generations and
cultures—perfectly aligned with L’Oréal’s
global campaign celebrating sisterhood,
inclusivity, and age diversity. Amid this
constellation of global icons, Aishwarya
stood out as a beacon of elegance and au
thenticity, reinforcing her status as India’s
global muse in fashion and beauty.
Her continued collaboration with
L’Oréal Paris, spanning over two decades,
has been instrumental in representing In
dian women on international beauty and
fashion platforms. With this appearance,
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan once again
bridged Bollywood and Hollywood, East
and West, tradition and modernity.
Graceful yet powerful, her Paris Fashion
Week 2025 look was more than couture—it
was a cultural moment. Through her radi
ant presence, Aishwarya reminded the
world that true beauty lies in confidence,
identity, and the courage to redefine ele
gance on your own terms.
