Ishaan Khatter is having a moment and this time, it’s not on screen, but front row. The actor is set to attend the Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week on June 24, marking a stylish new milestone in his fast-rising global journey. And yes, he’s doing it as the only Indian actor invited by the maison this season. Big deal? Absolutely.
Khatter’s always had a flair for fashion, whether it’s a textured blazer with sneakers or kurta-core done right, but this time will be his first official appearance at a major runway show. A source close to the actor confirmed that he’s attending as a guest of Louis Vuitton, cementing his growing influence.
The timing couldn’t be better. Ishaan is still riding high from the success of Netflix’s The Royals, where he plays a brooding, crown-weary prince navigating palace drama and existential dread. The show has become a multi-country streaming hit, with audiences and critics alike applauding Ishaan’s ability to bring nuance and soul to a character that could’ve easily been just another royal sterotype.
And let’s not forget Cannes. Just a few weeks ago, Ishaan made waves with Homebound, a haunting indie drama directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and executive-produced by none other than Martin Scorsese. His performance? Widely hailed as one of the most striking in the Un Certain Regard section, the film earned a standing ovation. Not too shabby for a ‘breakout star’
He also recently shared the screen with Nicole Kidman in Netflix’s The Perfect Couple, proving he can also hold his own with Hollywood royalty.
So what does a global star do in between buzzy performances and red carpets? Apparently, he suits up for Paris Fashion Week. From Cannes to couture, Ishaan Khatter is not just having a good year, he’s crafting an international identity, one performace (and one killer outfit) at a time.
