Pics: Aish’s Royal Avatar at Paris Fashion Week 

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan once again brought her regal presence to Paris Fashion Week 2026. The actor walked the ramp at L’Oréal Paris’ ninth edition of Le Défilé, held on September 28 against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower.

Aishwarya made a dramatic appearance in a two-piece black velvet silhouette ensemble by Yara Shoemaker, pairing it with a striking new burgundy-red hair colour. Social media quickly flooded with photographs and videos from the event. Her poised walk and regal styling prompted several fans to describe her as “royalty”, while one popular reaction read, “Once a Queen, Forever a Queen.”

The runway featured several international stars and fellow L’Oréal Paris ambassadors. The star-studded line-up included supermodel Kendall Jenner, Bridgerton actor Simone Ashley, Eva Longoria, Viola Davis, Jane Fonda and singer Céline Dion. The show was presented under L’Oréal Paris’ “Walk Your Worth” theme.

One of the most memorable moments from the evening came when Aishwarya and Céline Dion were seen hugging, holding hands and dancing together during the event. She also shared a warm reunion with Simone Ashley backstage. Simone later spoke to Variety India “I think it’s the moments we have backstage when we see each other

Aishwarya’s long association with L’Oréal Paris has made her a familiar presence on the international fashion circuit. While the Paris runway featured some of the biggest names from fashion, film and entertainment, Aishwarya’s combination of dramatic couture, a new hair colour and her classic runway poise quickly became one of the talking points of the evening.

The Paris appearance was yet another reminder of Aishwarya’s enduring connection with the global fashion world and, judging by the online reactions, her “queen” era continues to command attention.
