Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan brought regal glamour to Paris Fashion Week as she walked the runway at L’Oréal Paris’ Le Défilé 2026 “Express Your Worth” show on September 28, stepping out in a dramatic black gown, crystal-studded cape and striking deep-red hair.
The actor joined fellow L’Oréal Paris ambassadors including Kendall Jenner, Celine Dion, Eva Longoria, Simone Ashley, Viola Davis and Jane Fonda for the show, which celebrated beauty, sisterhood and women’s empowerment.
Aishwarya’s Dramatic Runway Look
Bachchan walked the runway in a cape-gown from Yara Shoemaker, featuring a figure-skimming black velvet gown with a sculpted bodice.
According to the designer, the outfit reimagined power dressing through structure and movement. Sculpted velvet and gathered tulle created a defined silhouette, while three-dimensional fringes added movement as she walked.
The standout element was the floor-sweeping cape draped over her shoulders. Covered in crystals, it featured a galaxy-inspired gradient that created a starry effect as she moved down the runway.
She also wore a bejewelled crown, adding to the regal feel of the look.
Deep-Red Hair Steals The Spotlight
Aishwarya also surprised fans with a bold hair transformation.
Her deep burgundy locks were styled in long, loose waves that fell over her shoulders and down her back. She paired the dramatic hair colour with defined eyes and a bold red lip.
The combination of the red hair, dark gown and sparkling cape gave her runway appearance a distinctly dramatic finish.
From Mumbai Airport To The Paris Runway
Bachchan had already made a style statement before reaching the show. She was spotted at Mumbai airport in a classic beige trench coat while travelling to Paris.
Ahead of the event, she also appeared in behind-the-scenes videos with fellow L’Oréal Paris ambassadors, laughing and chatting as they prepared for the runway.
By the end of the show, the Paris runway had come alive to Celine Dion’s “I Am Alive”, bringing the event to a dramatic close.
