Why didn’t Alia Bhatt walk the Paris ramp this year? Her Insta throwbacks say It all

Paris Fashion Week 2025 is in full swing, and while the city of lights welcomes some of the biggest names in fashion, Alia Bhatt couldn’t make it this time. But the Bollywood star made sure her fans still felt her presence. Taking to her Instagram stories, Alia shared throwback pictures from last year’s L’Oréal Paris Fashion Week, where she had made her much-awaited debut. In one mirror selfie, she is seen backstage, prepping for her first ramp walk, dressed in a metallic silver bustier paired with a chic black off-shoulder jumpsuit. Her subtle pink lips and wet hair look had perfectly complemented the edgy yet glamorous outfit, showing why she is a favorite on the global stage. She also shared a group picture with all the others present for the event.

While Alia reminisced about her Paris memories, Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan took the spotlight this year. Walking the ramp for L’Oréal Paris’ public show, Liberty. Equality. Sisterhood. Because You’re Worth It, Aishwarya stunned audiences in an all-black ensemble designed by Manish Malhotra. The outfit featured intricate diamond embellishments, with 10-inch diamond-embroidered cuffs and a structured coat that added regal charm. She accessorized with a statement diamond and emerald brooch and completed the look with her signature red lipstick, radiating elegance and sophistication.

Alia’s Global Stage & Exciting Projects Ahead

Although Alia missed the physical event, the throwback photos reminded fans of her charm and international appeal. The Highway star is all set for a big year ahead, with projects like Alpha in the Spy Universe alongside Sharvari Wagh, and SLB’s upcoming Love & War, featuring Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor. Her presence on the global stage continues to grow, bridging glamour with talent.

Even from afar, Alia’s throwback gestures and Aishwarya’s current ramp magic prove that Bollywood continues to make waves at international fashion events, giving fans a perfect blend of nostalgia and excitement for what’s to come.
