Indian rapper and music producer Badshah is gearing up for a major global milestone: his first-ever appearance at the prestigious Paris Men’s Fashion Week 2025.

The 39-year-old artist, celebrated for his chart-busting hits and distinctive hip-hop style, is confirmed to attend the highly anticipated fashion event, running from June 24 to June 29, 2025, in the capacity of a celebrity guest for a leading designer.

This debut marks a significant moment for South Asian representation on the global fashion stage. Badshah is set to become the first Punjabi rapper to grace the elite Parisian gathering, showcasing the rising influence of Indian talent in haute couture.

The move follows a trend of prominent South Asian artists making international fashion statements, including fellow Punjabi artists like Diljit Dosanjh at the Met Gala and AP Dhillon’s previous attendance at Paris Fashion Week.

Known for his fondness for high-end designer labels such as Balenciaga and Gucci, and boasting an Instagram following of over 15 million, Badshah’s participation cements his status as a major cultural and fashion influencer. His transition from dominating the music charts to stepping onto the world’s most exclusive runways is a win for his brand and for Indian artistry abroad.
