Aishwarya Rai at the Paris Fashion Week

Aishwarya took centre stage at the Paris Fashion Week on September 28 as she walked the ramp at L’Oréal Paris’ ‘Express Your Worth’ showcase. The actor closed the Le Défilé show, held at Place Joffre against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower and École Militaire. For her appearance, Aishwarya wore a custom all-black creation from Syrian luxury label Yara Shoemaker, styled by celebrity stylist Mohit Rai.

Apart from her ramp appearance, her warm interaction with Bridgerton actor Simone Ashley also caught the internet's attention. Fans gushed over their "sisterly bond". Talking about her reunion with Aishwarya, Simone told Variety India, "I think it’s the moments we have backstage when we see each other. We don’t get to spend much time together throughout the year, so it’s always really nice when we’re reunited and can catch up with each other. It’s so exciting. This is my third year walking for them, so I know a little bit more of what to expect. I’m just super excited. It’s always one of the most fun days of the year."
