For the superstar, keeping it real, comfortable and effortless reigns supreme when it comes to fashion.

Talking about how she would define her fashion, Aishwarya, who made the world stand still during her walk at the iconic Paris Fashion Week, said, “Well… effortless, I would say that’s extremely important, I think, for it to be effortless, for it to be comfortable and keep real that’s what’s most important for me.”

For Aishwarya, who is not just a style icon but one of the most talented stars of Indian cinema, “fashion is art.”

Asked how time has played a role in her fashion sense, Aishwarya, who is the Global brand spokesperson for L’Oreal Paris, said, “I really look at it as art and I think it’s (an) art to be enjoyed and it can evoke all kinds of, you know, responses. And that’s what it should be… And it’s really all about designers. Most of the people that I have worked with are friends, you know.”

Tagged as “one of the most beautiful women in the world”, Aishwarya lets fashion be the opportunity for the “designers to enjoy their creativity” but being “comfortable” is utmost important for her.

I mean, that’s something which I would never do.”

“And, you know, it was always about comfort and leisure. And I kind of, so that’s why obviously, that’s also the natural real moment. That’s the way I keep it, I keep it real,” said the mother of one.
