Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walks L’Oréal Paris runway in red hair

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walked the runway at L’Oréal Paris Le Défilé during Paris Fashion Week on September 28, appearing in a black couture ensemble and newly red hair. Coverage of the show also described a backstage interaction between Rai Bachchan and actor Simone Ashley, including a video showing them chatting and holding hands before greeting each other. Rai Bachchan wore a custom look from Yara Shoemakers’ Fall/Winter 2026-27 couture collection, styled by Mohit Rai. The outfit included a two-piece velvet gown with three-dimensional fringe embroidery and a crystal-embellished cape. She completed the look with a jeweled crown, rings and black pumps. Her hair was styled in soft waves, with makeup featuring winged eyeliner and red lipstick. The show, titled Express Your Worth, took place at Place Joffre, with the Eiffel Tower and École Militaire in the backdrop, according to accounts of the event. Rai Bachchan closed the runway presentation. The reported scenes and descriptions largely recount the same visual coverage, rather than separate independent documentation. A video described in coverage showed Rai Bachchan and Ashley together backstage before the show.
