Aishwarya Rai’s airport look

For her return to India, Aishwarya opted for a deep plum leather double-breasted trench coat, which instantly stood out for its rich, autumnal hue and structured silhouette. She wore the long coat with dark indigo flared denim jeans, creating a relaxed contrast to the polished leather outerwear.

She kept the rest of the outfit relatively simple, pairing it with dark leather boots and carrying a large dark brown leather tote with braided handles. A smartwatch added a casual, practical touch to the otherwise luxe ensemble.

The actor also wore dark sunglasses perched on top of her head, while her long, deep cherry-red hair was styled in loose waves. The burgundy-toned hair blended seamlessly with the plum leather coat, giving the travel look a coordinated finish.

Aishwarya’s airport appearance came shortly after she walked the runway for L’Oréal Paris at the ninth edition of Le Défilé during Paris Fashion Week. The show was held against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower and École Militaire on September 28.

For the runway, Aishwarya wore a black velvet fishtail gown by Syrian label Yara Shoemaker, paired with a dramatic pearl-and-crystal-embellished cape and a tiara. Her newly debuted fiery red hair, winged eyeliner and bold red lip completed the theatrical look.

Her return look was a complete shift from that maximalist couture moment. The plum leather trench, flared jeans, oversized tote and sunglasses gave her a more relaxed yet polished airport aesthetic, proving that her off-duty style can be just as eye-catching as her red-carpet and runway appearances.
