Aishwarya Rai Bachchan once again brought Bollywood glam to the international fashion stage as she walked the ramp at Paris Fashion Week 2026 recently. The actor joined global stars including Kendall Jenner, Eva Longoria, Simone Ashley and Celine Dion on the runway, flaunting her dramatic transformation with fiery burgundy-red hair and a black velvet couture with sparkly accessories. On September 30, after returning to Mumbai, Aishwarya dropped a mesmerising bunch of clicks from her ramp walk, keeping the custom intact of leaving a bold statement whenever she makes an appearance on a global platform, representing India in all its glory.
Aishwarya turns fiery burgundy red hair diva
Aishwarya Rai walked for L'Oréal Paris' annual Le Défilé show on September 28. The show at Place Joffre with the Eiffel Tower as the backdrop celebrated beauty, confidence and self-expression. For her look, Aishwarya chose a custom black velvet couture piece from Syrian designer Yara Shoemaker's Fall/Winter 2026-27 collection. The look was regal with crystal embellishments, a dramatic cape and a sculpted silhouette. The actor completed the look with a sparkling crown-like headdress and diamond jewellery, which added to the theatricality of the outfit.
The biggest surprise was perhaps Aishwarya's hair transformation. The actor walked the ramp sporting bold burgundy-red hair, quite a contrast to the darker shades she has been sporting over the years. The change quickly became one of the biggest talking points of her appearance at Paris Fashion Week, as it added an unexpected twist to her otherwise classic glamour.
Aishwarya's sneak peek into her Paris appearance on Instagram received a lot of love from her industry peers. Bipasha Basu, Celina Jaitly, and Harshdeep Kaur were among those who applauded her beauty.
