Queen of ultra-chic, Master of uber cool; Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with Pharrell Williams will never go out of Vogue

Haute couture, drop-dead gorgeous looks and that unmistakable smoulder - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with Pharrell Williams say Namaste as the powerful and oh-so-stylish couple for the spring edition of Vogue. While Pharrell is a hit-maker who wears more hats than one can count, Aishwarya needs no introduction as she is a leading lady who dabbles it all with an enviable panache -red-carpet appearances and films. Quite rightly, together, Pharrell Williams and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan represent the boundary-blurring appeal of a true global icon in the April edition of Vogue, a feature called Greatest Hits. While Aishwarya goes on to talk about motherhood and movies, Pharrell talks all about collaborations and causes he cares about. This one-of-a-kind photo shoot has been perfectly captured by ace photographer, Greg Swales, styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania. The glam squad that has rendered the two global icons absolutely stunning featured makeup artist Anil Chinnappa and hair stylist Yianni Tsapatori.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan – a global trailblazer, gorgeous woman and a veteran at the famed International Cannes Film Festival, her tryst with the prestigious red carpet chronicles a glorious and fashionable journey of 16 years, beginning from 2002 to 2017. Every year, her red carpet offerings have something unusual in store. But like a true blue diva, Aishwarya’s demeanour accentuated by a nonchalant attitude, an enviable aplomb and a diplomatic take render her impeccable has only got better with time. A hands-on mother to her adorable 5-year old daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, to say that the diva looks ethereal in one perfect shot would be a serious understatement as this photoshoot stands testimony. Pharrell Williams – The man who said, “Don’t wait for the stars to align, reach up and rearrange them the way you want, create your own constellation.” Pharrell had the world dancing to his tunes with the line that mirrored life; Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth! Wisdom, an abundance of talent and oodles of understated chutzpah, Pharrell embraces it all with a humble demeanour. His eclectic sporty style play aptly compliments his persona.
