Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walked the runway at a Paris fashion event on Monday, wearing a velvet ensemble by Yara Shoemaker. The actress joined L’Oréal Paris ambassadors Simone Ashley, Celine Dion, Eva Longoria and Kendall Jenner. Videos showed her hugging and dancing with Dion on stage.

Times Now reports that Aishwarya and Simone Ashley, known for Bridgerton, warmly greeted each other at the event. The two had met at Paris Fashion Week 2025. Clips of Aishwarya taking selfies with fans also went viral.
Aishwarya has been a longtime face of the beauty brand and regularly attends its global shows. She has not announced any new acting project since the 2023 film Ponniyin Selvan 2.
Times Now led with the celebrity reunion, emphasising the personal warmth between Aishwarya and Simone Ashley and framing the event around fan interactions. The Times of India put the runway show first, foregrounding Aishwarya as a brand ambassador alongside Celine Dion and other international stars. Neither outlet carried criticism or government framing, both gave neutral event coverage. The different leads tell the reader which detail each editor judged most newsworthy: a fan moment versus a brand spectacle. The substance is the same event, reported with different emphasis but no conflict.
