‘Queen’ Aishwarya Rai Bachchan debuts fiery red hair, takes over Paris Fashion Week in dramatic black couture

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made a bold entrance at Paris Fashion Week on Monday, debuting a fiery new hair color and captivating the audience with a dramatic black couture look. Closing L'Oréal Paris' Le Défilé show at Place Joffre against the backdrop of the iconic Eiffel Tower and École Militaire, the actress made waves in an all-black custom ensemble from Syrian luxury label Yara Shoemaker's Fall/Winter 2026-27 collection.

Stylist Mohit Rai conceptualized and styled the striking outfit, which earned the caption "Express Your Worth" on Mahit Rai's Instagram Story.

The bespoke two-piece velvet gown featured intricate 3D fringe embroidery and a crystal-embellished cape, with a plunging neckline that extended down her torso and a cinched waist, while her floor-length silhouette exuded elegance. Completing the look, Aishwarya Rai donned a diamond-encrusted crown, diamond rings, and pumps. Her fiery red tresses, styled in a side parting with soft waves, added a striking contrast to the monochromatic ensemble.

Aishwarya Rai's makeup featured winged eyeliner, a bold red lip, rouged cheeks, feathered brows, and soft contouring, harmonizing perfectly with her new hair color and the all-black couture gown.
