Paris [France]: Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan captivated audiences as she graced the ramp at Paris Fashion Week 2025 during a public show titled “Liberty. Equality. Sisterhood. Because You’re Worth It”, organised by French cosmetics giant L’Oreal Paris on Monday.
The actress mesmerised attendees in a stunning black outfit designed by ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra, featuring intricate diamond embellishments. The 10-inch diamond-embroidered cuffs on her sleeves and the back of her coat emerged as standout elements of her attire. The coat’s structured tailoring, button-down front, and subtle sheen added a regal and sophisticated touch.
Aishwarya accessorised the look with a large diamond and emerald brooch, while her signature red lipstick added a bold contrast to the elegant black ensemble. She acknowledged fans with flying kisses and the traditional namaste pose, making her ramp walk a memorable spectacle.
Empowerment and association with L’Oreal Paris
In a statement released by L’Oreal, Aishwarya spoke about her longstanding association with the brand. “Walking the runway at Paris Fashion Week is always a powerful reminder of the beauty of individuality and expression. For me, being a part of the L’Oreal Paris family for over two decades has been more than just a collaboration. It’s been a journey of empowerment,” she said.
She added, “Because You’re Worth It is not just a tagline; it is a celebration of self-worth that continues to inspire women everywhere. Tonight, we honour that legacy, reaffirming that every woman’s strength, story, and spirit deserve to be seen and celebrated.”
Behind-the-scenes buzz with Simone Ashley
Ahead of her ramp walk, a behind-the-scenes selfie with Indian-origin British actress Simone Ashley, famous for her role in Bridgerton, went viral on social media. The picture showed both actresses dressed in elegant black outfits, posing together in their vanity space as they prepared for the event. Simone shared the photo on her Instagram handle, and it quickly began trending across platforms.
Recent appearances and fashion journey
Aishwarya was last seen on screen in Ponniyin Selvan: Part 2 and has not announced her next project. Earlier this year, she made a remarkable appearance at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, honouring her Indian roots in a custom Gaurav Gupta Couture gown. The body-fitted outfit was intricately hand-embroidered in shades of silver, gold, charcoal, and black, complemented by a Banarasi brocade cape handwoven in Varanasi.
Her presence at Paris Fashion Week reiterates her position as a global style icon and a symbol of grace, elegance, and empowerment. With over two decades of association with L’Oreal Paris, Aishwarya continues to represent beauty, confidence, and timeless glamour on the international stage.
