The world-renowned Parisian department store Galeries Lafayette made a grand entry into India with an exclusive pre-launch celebration in Mumbai, showcasing a night of haute couture and elegance. Often hailed as the "temple of fashion" in Paris, the store’s arrival in India signifies a landmark moment for the country’s luxury retail landscape.
The private event, hosted by the Aditya Birla Group, Galeries Lafayette’s partner for its Indian debut, brought together a constellation of Bollywood and business stars. Celebrities including Anil Kapoor, Shobha De, Rohan Sippy, Ashutosh Gowarikar, Sunita Gowarikar, Rahul Bose, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Tamannaah Bhatia graced the red carpet, each bringing their own unique flair to the evening. Aditi Rao Hydari wowed with a cinematic couture ensemble, while Tamannaah Bhatia turned heads in a vintage-inspired dress.
Held on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at Galeries Lafayette Mumbai, located in the historic Turner Morrison and Voltas House buildings in Kala Ghoda, Fort, the gala followed an earlier marine-themed pre-celebration in October. Guests enjoyed an intimate evening of fashion, networking, and celebration, making it a landmark event in the city’s luxury and lifestyle calendar.
The pre-launch not only highlighted the store’s Parisian charm but also offered a glimpse of the grandeur and sophistication that awaits Indian shoppers when the flagship store opens to the public later this month. It was a night that perfectly blended glamour, heritage, and high fashion, leaving attendees in awe of the international luxury experience coming to India.
