The vermilion in her hair parting provoked discussion due to its potent cultural resonance, while her gentle waves delicately framed her face. She was praised by both fans and fashion critics for respecting Indian customs at a global event that honours international fashion and cinema.

The ivory sarree is a hand woven banarasi saree as per reports. 

Though she has experimented with bold gowns and avant-garde fashion in previous years, Aishwarya’s 2025 look stood out for its simplicity and cultural depth. Her ivory saree, reportedly designed by a leading Indian couturier, featured delicate floral embroidery and was styled with elegance and confidence.
