From the red carpet to Cannes, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan knows how to turn heads. Yesterday, the actor did exactly that as she dazzled down the runway at the L’Oréal Paris’ Le Défilé at Paris Fashion Week 2026, held in the French capital from September 28 to October 6.
The show took place at Place Joffre with the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, where Bachchan walked in a regal ensemble that included a Yara Shoemaker velvet gown from her Fall/Winter 2026-27 couture collection, a crystal-embellished velvet cape and burgundy hair. To top it off, she also wore a tiara.
The actor was styled by Mohit Rai, Tarang Agarwal and Chintan Shah, who ensured that the embellishments on her grown didn’t distract from just how well-structured it was.
Along with the crystals that added glow to her gown, her burgundy hair brought the kind of fierceness she is known to carry. In an outfit that sat right at the center of contemporary craft and timeless fashion, she was styled in a way that truly brought to the runway what modern fashion can look like today.
Bachchan has been a global brand ambassador for L’Oréal Paris since 2003. She was among the numerous ambassadors who were present at the ninth addition of Lé Défilé, and shared the stage with world renowned personalities across film, fashion and music including Viola Davis, Kendall Jenner, Eva Longoria, Simone Ashley, Jane Fonda and Céline Dion. During the show, Bachchan and Dion shared a special moment together and they hugged, held hands and even danced together.
The show was presented under the L’Oréal Paris “Know Your Worth” theme which rests on celebrating diversity, female solidarity and celebrating confidence.
