Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made a striking appearance at Paris Fashion Week, arriving in an all-black couture look for L'Oréal Paris' 'Express Your Worth' show.

The actor was among the prominent names attending the event, which was staged with the Eiffel Tower providing a dramatic backdrop. The show brought together celebrities and L'Oréal Paris ambassadors from different generations, including Jane Fonda and Kendall Jenner.

One of the evening's major highlights was singer Céline Dion, who took to the stage and performed her popular track I'm Alive. She was later joined by other L'Oréal Paris ambassadors.

Aishwarya and Dion also shared a warm moment during the event. The two were seen embracing on stage, after which Aishwarya was seen enjoying Dion's performance.

Céline Dion makes a return to the stage

Dion's appearance came after she recently returned to live performance following a prolonged break. The singer had stepped away from regular performances during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently revealed that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome.

Her recent concert marked her return to a full-length live show after several years. The performance was an emotional occasion for the singer, who became visibly moved while addressing the audience and reflecting on her return to the stage.

Aishwarya's dramatic couture look

For the Paris event, Aishwarya chose a custom outfit from Syrian luxury fashion label Yara Shoemaker. Celebrity stylist Mohit Rai put together the look.

The ensemble featured a fitted black velvet two-piece gown decorated with three-dimensional fringe detailing. She added a matching crystal-covered velvet cape from the label's Fall/Winter 2026-27 couture collection.

The actor completed the outfit with diamond jewellery, including a statement tiara and rings, along with black pumps.

However, her outfit was not the only element that caught attention. Aishwarya debuted a bold new hair colour for the occasion, opting for fiery red hair styled with a side parting and loose waves.

Her appearance quickly became one of the talking points from the Paris Fashion Week event, with fans sharing videos and images of her interaction with Dion and her dramatic new look online.
