A minor wardrobe mishap occurred when Helen accidentally stepped on Aishwarya's cape while the two were posing alongside Cara Delevingne on the red carpet. The incident caused Aishwarya's cape to slide down to her elbow, briefly pausing the photo opportunity.

Aishwarya handled the moment like a pro, smiling warmly and calmly adjusting her cape before resuming her pose, effortlessly salvaging the photo op. The video of the moment has surfaced on social media. In the clip, Helen is seen offering an apology to Aishwarya after realising her mistake.

Aishwarya's look featured a black velvet gown with intricate silver and gold beadwork, paired with an ivory Banarasi brocade cape handwoven in Varanasi.

The cape's fabric was inscribed with a Sanskrit shloka. The actor styled her hair with classic side-parted waves. Her look was completed with her signature bold red lip colour. She accessorised with delicate drop earrings and floral diamond rings. In pictures that surfaced on several fan pages of the actor, Aishwarya was seen stepping out for the day with her daughter Aaradhya by her side.
