From Aishwarya Rai to Ananya Panday, Indian celebrities shone at Paris Fashion Week

Indian cities may shine bright with the spark of a celebrity presence at film promotions and filmy parties, but this week, the stars jetted across the world to shine at a different venue—Paris Fashion Week. Far from home, the glorious fashion showcase held at stunning historical locations across the city of love was the top spot to be snapped at this week. Whether it was the Le Défilé show by L’Oréal Paris at the The Hotel De Ville or Matthieu Blazy's debut Chanel show where the solar system descended to Earth, Indian celebrities left their mark at the event; from the front row, in the audience or on the runway. From Janhvi Kapoor to Jacqueline Fernandez, these celebrities took over Paris Fashion Week with their unmatched presence and pizzaz.

Aishwarya Rai kicked off Paris Fashion Week at the Le Défilé show; the annual catwalk which brings together L’Oréal Paris ambassadors from every continent; be it Helen Mirren and Isabela Merced to Kendall Jenner and Ariana Greenblatt. The Indian superstar walked the ramp in a Manish Malhotra velvet kurta set with embellished applique, complete with her signature red lip.

Jacqueline Fernandez, a surprise entry at Paris Fashion Week's Spring/Summer 2026 edition, attended Victoria Beckham's showcase at Val-de-Grace. Being a viewer didn't stop the Bollywood actress from pulling out a show-stopping style moment of her own. Donning a black draped dress with a plunging neckline that ended at her waist and a high cheerleader ponytail, a warm embrace with Victoria herself ended the glitzy night for Jacqueline.

Janhvi Kapoor, a friend of the Miu Miu brand, showed her support for the Italian label once again as she attended their showcase held at Iéna Palace. With a black t-shirt tucked into a plaid skirt, she paired grey socks with black pointed-toe heels, while a tan purse, sunglasses and a shearling jacket added finesse to the look.
