The internet weighs in as fashion icons Aishwarya Rai and Alia Bhatt take the ramp at Paris Fashion Week, and fans aren’t holding back.
When two Bollywood queens share the runway, sparks are bound to fly—but this time, it’s more of a social media wildfire. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who has long reigned as the face of L’Oréal Paris, found herself in the eye of an online storm after walking the ramp at Paris Fashion Week 2024. Joining her was Alia Bhatt, L’Oréal’s new ambassador, and it seems that some fans have declared a winner in this fashion face-off—Alia Bhatt.
Aishwarya’s ‘Tent’ Trouble: What Went Wrong?
Aishwarya, known for her timeless beauty, took to the runway in a bold, loose-fitted satin red gown complete with a veil that boldly displayed the slogan, ‘We Are Worth It’. However, what should have been a show-stopping moment turned into a target for criticism. Many fans felt the outfit did no justice to the former Miss World, calling the gown unflattering and even likening it to a tent. One user quipped, “Somebody please get this beautiful lady out of these tents.”
Another fan lamented, “Who gave her this dress? Aishwarya deserves so much better than this oversized curtain. It’s a fashion crime!” But not all reactions were negative—some fans praised Aishwarya for maintaining her grace and poise despite the controversial wardrobe choice. One admirer commented, “Put her in a sack, and she’ll still steal the show! That’s Aishwarya’s magic.”
Alia ‘Ate Her Up’? The Unexpected Showdown
What really set the internet buzzing, though, was the comparison between Aishwarya and Alia Bhatt. Alia, looking every bit the fashionista in a metallic silver bustier and black jumpsuit, managed to win hearts not only for her ensemble but also for her confident strut down the runway. Social media quickly filled with comparisons, with one user stirring controversy by saying, “Controversial opinion, but Alia Bhatt ate her up on that ramp. Just watch the clips and compare!”
It didn’t stop there. Another tweet read, “Alia came, she saw, and she conquered! Aishwarya is a queen, but even queens can have off days, and today belonged to Alia.”
Is It Time for Aishwarya to Change Stylists?
This isn’t the first time Aishwarya’s fashion choices have been questioned. Several fans urged the veteran actress to consider a change in her styling team, noting that she deserves looks that enhance her beauty rather than overshadow it. As one fan put it, “It’s high time Aishwarya gets a new stylist. She’s a legend, but these fashion choices aren’t doing her any favors.”
Yet, despite the fashion faux pas, Aishwarya’s fans remain fiercely loyal. “She’s still the epitome of grace. Bad dress, but never a bad moment for Aishwarya,” one user remarked, defending the star’s elegance on the runway.
The Fashion Duel of 2024?
With both actresses commanding the stage, the Paris Fashion Week showdown has turned into more than just a fashion event—it’s become a full-blown debate. Was it a bad styling day for Aishwarya, or has the torch officially passed to the younger generation? Fans are divided, but one thing is clear: this high-profile fashion moment has fueled a new rivalry, at least in the eyes of the internet.
Whether you’re Team Aishwarya or Team Alia, one thing is certain: both actresses continue to captivate audiences with their presence, even if the fashion police had a field day.
As for Aishwarya Rai’s next move? Perhaps a wardrobe shakeup is in order, but one thing’s for sure—no outfit will ever dim her star power. And for Alia Bhatt? It looks like she’s just getting started in this fashion battle.
