At the prestigious L’Oreal Paris Fashion Week, two Bollywood divas took the stage but the audience’s reactions were vastly different. Aishwarya Rai’s much-anticipated appearance left fans underwhelmed, while Alia Bhatt, in her debut, earned high praise for her stunning look and confident walk.
Aishwarya Rai’s Look Disappoints Fans
Aishwarya Rai’s appearance at the event, where she is a long-standing ambassador for L’Oréal, seems it did not go well with fans’ expectations. Her outfit, a loose-fitting satin red gown paired with bold red lipstick, failed to make an impact. The gown featured a long veil with the iconic L’Oréal tagline “We are worth it,” captivating the audience with the lines and as Aishwarya began her walk, the veil detached dramatically.
Many took to social media platform on Reddit to express their disappointment with one user sarcastically saying, “Someone give me her stylist’s name and address, I will take care of the rest.” Another pointed out how Aishwarya’s aura still shines through, despite the outfit, stating, “Even at her worst, she’s better than the rest!”
The main issue seemed to be the gown’s restrictive design, which slowed her pace on the ramp. One user commented, “They did her dirty with the dress. It restricted her movement too much.” Another added, “Kept my expectations low after her last Cannes appearance, so I can’t be mad. Her aura and confidence save the day, as always.”
This isn’t the first time Aishwarya Rai’s stylists have come under fire. Fans have previously voiced similar concerns during her appearances at the Cannes Film Festival and other major events. They believe that the iconic actress, known for her timeless beauty, deserves better styling choices to match her aura.
Alia Bhatt Shines in Her Debut Appearance
In stark contrast to Aishwarya Rai’s underwhelming reception, Alia Bhatt made an impressive debut at the L’Oreal Paris Fashion Week. Alia’s silver crochet bustier paired with a sleek black off-shoulder jumpsuit, turned heads and earned her widespread praise. She accessorized the look with chunky rectangular hoops and rocked a wet-hair look which only added to her bold and confident aura.
As Alia made her way down the runway, she greeted the audience with smiles, waves and even blew a few kisses, radiating positive energy. Fans were quick to praise her confident walk and effortless style. Comments on Reddit poured in with one saying, “She looks so good, and her outfit fits perfectly!” Another fan added, “This is one of her best looks in recent times. Loved her makeup and styling.”
Some fans compared Alia’s look to her iconic debut film Student of the Year with comments like, “That’s not Alia, that’s Shanaya!” referring to her character from the movie. Another user said, “She did great. The costume, makeup and hair were all on point.”
The contrasting reactions to the two stars highlight how fans are quick to notice every detail, especially when it comes to their favorite celebrities. Aishwarya Rai, who has been a part of L’Oreal for many years, faced criticism for the gown, but her fans stood by her, admiring her grace and poise on stage despite the outfit. Alia Bhatt, on the other hand, earned widespread praise for her bold and confident debut.
As the event featured other international icons like Kendall Jenner, Eva Longoria, Jane Fonda and others, it’s clear that L’Oreal Paris Fashion Week brought together some of the most glamorous stars. Yet, in the world of fashion, sometimes even the biggest names face mixed reviews, while others shine in the spotlight.
Both actresses, however, represented India at an international stage and continue to be loved by fans across the globe for their contributions to the film and fashion industries.
