What Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wore at Paris Fashion Week 2025?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan stole the show in black at Paris Fashion Week 2025 as she walked the ramp for L’Oréal Paris. The extraordinary actress chose designer Manish Malhotra to create her look for the evening, and he ensured she stood out in a stunning outfit – a sherwani.

This look reimagines the traditional Indian sherwani – rooted in heritage menswear, through an androgynous couture lens. The custom-made sherwani becomes a canvas where structure meets softness: tailoring that asserts power while embracing modern sensuality.

The detailings on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s outfit

Manish, in his long Instagram post, shared the details of the outfit, “The 10-inch diamond-embroidered cuffs transform the sleeve into a statement of modern regalia, part armor, part adornment. They extend the gesture of “wearing your heart on your sleeve,” amplifying both strength and vulnerability in equal measure”, he wrote.

He continued, “At the back, layered diamond scallops cascade like an extravagant necklace, recalling the opulence of a nau lakha haar. This jeweled architecture reframes heritage adornment as a fluid, androgynous gesture of power. A singular diamond tassel drop anchors the sherwani with quiet precision – an elite accent that turns restraint into resonance.”

“Diamond-studded animal brooches serve as more than ornament; they are emblems of strength, guardians of grace, and contemporary talismans. Their brilliance punctuates the silhouette with light, while fine embroideries along the trousers add subtle artistry in motion.”
