Aishwarya Rai gave fans a peek at what went on behind the scenes before she stepped onto the L’Oréal Paris runway, and the pictures are every bit as glamorous as her final look.
The actor was among the A-listers who walked for L’Oréal Paris’ ‘Express Your Worth’ showcase at Place Joffre during Paris Fashion Week. She also closed the show for the French beauty label in a dramatic all-black velvet ensemble.
On October 1, Aishwarya posted a series of photos on Instagram from the L’Oréal Paris Le Défilé runway preparations. For the show, Aishwarya wore a two-piece velvet gown with 3D fringe embroidery and a crystal-embellished cape from Yara Shoemaker’s Fall/Winter 2026-2027 couture collection.
“She is worth it, and she knows it,” one fan wrote. “Back again to show how it’s done,” read another comment. Now, Aishwarya has shared a few BTS pictures from the glam room, showing the transformation before she made her runway appearance. In the pictures, she can be seen sitting in the glam room in a black silk robe, holding a fan featuring L’Oréal’s famous tagline, ‘I’m Worth It’. The behind-the-scenes moments capture her getting ready for the show, with her hair and makeup teams working on her look. The final frames show Aishwarya dressed in the black velvet ensemble she wore to close the Paris runway. And the transformation from glam-room prep to full runway drama is hard to miss. Celebrity stylist Mohit Rai put the look together. The gown featured a plunging neckline and a fitted silhouette that highlighted her waist. A dramatic velvet cape completed the outfit, with pearl and crystal embellishments running along its borders. But it was the styling that really pushed the look into full red-carpet territory. Aishwarya paired the outfit with a diamond-encrusted crown, diamond rings and pumps. Her fiery red hair, bold red lip and statement glam added another layer to the otherwise all-black look. The BTS pictures quickly drew plenty of love from fans, many of whom focused on Aishwarya’s timeless star power. Another commented, “Queens aren’t made. They’re born. Beautiful beyond words, graceful beyond measure. Now, she has shared some behind-the-scenes (BTS) photos straight from the L’Oreal glam room, and fans are in love.
