Aishwarya Rai Bachchan closed L’Oréal Paris’ Le Défilé at Paris Fashion Week in a dramatic goth-inspired look against the Eiffel Tower backdrop. Wearing a black off-shoulder velvet gown by Yara Shoemaker, Diosa Paris jewels and a diamond-encrusted crown, she embodied dark royalty. Her powerful walk and burgundy hair echoed the show’s “Express Your Worth” theme of confidence and individuality.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan sure knows how to make an entrance, and her recent appearance at the Paris Fashion Week just reiterated that. The long-time L’Oréal Paris ambassador just closed the L’Oréal Paris’ Le Défilé show at the brand’s ninth edition of Le Défilé, against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower.
She walked the runway in a black off-shoulder gown by Syrian designer Yara Shoemaker, and jewels from Diosa Paris. Her velvet gown came with a cinched waist, a plunging neckline, and a sheer embellished cape. The sculpted, body-hugging gown fit her like a glove, which was a sharp contrast to the flowy cape dripping with pearls and crystals. She styled the look with a couple of chunky cocktail rings. For the beauty, she went full glam with side-parted soft waves, a winger eyeliner, lots of mascara, and a red lip. Another thing about the look that was noteworthy was her hair colour—a deep burgundy red. That, however, wasn’t even remotely, the best part of the look! The best thing about the look is that she chose to wear a—drumroll—crown! Reiterating her queen status, she wore a diamond-encrusted tiara that resembled a crown.
Styled by her long-time stylist, Mohit Rai, the Maleficent-coded look felt dark and gothic, with a touch of royalty (thanks to the crown). Mohit shared the images of her look on Instagram with the caption, “Once a legend always an iconic queen”.
Not to forget, her walk could give the best of models a run for their money. It felt strong, statuesque, and very powerful. With its “Express Your Worth” theme, this year’s Le Défilé was built around individuality, confidence and self-expression. Aishwarya was among an international line-up of L’Oréal ambassadors and celebrities at the show, joining the likes of Kendall Jenner, Eva Longoria, Simone Ashley, Viola Davis, Jane Fonda and Celine Dion.
Also, we don’t know about you, but we are totally taking a cue from Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s hair and going red this wedding season.
