A number of high-profile celebrities travelled all the way to India to grace Christian Dior Fall 2023 Women’s Collection fashion show. Simone Ashley, Poorna Jagannathan, Anoushka Shankar, and Simone’s Bridgerton co-star and on-screen sister Charithra Chandran were among the stars who attended the pre-fall 2023 show at the Gateway of India in Mumbai, India.

For the glitzy night, Simone Ashley slid into a white Dior ensemble, a diamond necklace, and a bag with a floral design. Dior took to their official Instagram handle to share an image of the actress.


Also seen in the same set of images are the Never Have I Ever actress Poorna Jagannathan – in another white ensemble from the collection – and musician Anoushka Shankar, who rocked a maroon embellished floor-length number.

The caption under the photos reads: “The much-anticipated #DiorFall23 show by Maria Grazia Chiuri has drawn to a close in Mumbai. Held before the magnificent Gateway of India, the event attracted an awesome lineup of #StarsinDior, including Simone Ashley, Poorna Jagannathan, and Anoushka Shankar, each in a captivating look from this new collection.”

The Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto, on the other hand, was dressed in a purple Dior outfit that she accessorised with Amrapali Jewels.
