Kérastase India brings over 100 women together for women-only padel event
Padel in Gloss blends sport, beauty and lifestyle as more women take to the court
MUMBAI: Game on, gloss on. Kérastase India brought more than 100 women creators, influencers, padel enthusiasts and athletes together for Padel in Gloss, a women-only padel platform that combined sport, beauty and lifestyle.
Held in Mumbai on September 4, the event brought together women at different stages of their padel journeys, from first-time players and experienced participants to professional athletes. The platform was built around the brand’s “Gloss On, Game On” proposition, highlighting the intersection of beauty, movement and an active social lifestyle.
The event featured personalities from entertainment, beauty, fashion and lifestyle, including singer-songwriter Lisa Mishra, actor and creator Sara Sarosh and actor Aditi Bhatia. Professional padel players, including Sakshi Malik, also participated, bringing a competitive edge to the event.
Padel in Gloss was designed to position beauty as part of an active lifestyle rather than something reserved for traditional occasions. Participants took to the court for friendly matches, while friends and fellow guests joined in as cheering squads, creating an atmosphere that combined competition with a social day out.
Kérastase’s Gloss Absolu range was integrated into the experience, with the brand highlighting its focus on glossy, frizz-free hair during active moments. A dedicated Kérastase hair station allowed guests to experience the range, explore match-day hairstyles and learn more about the products.
The beauty experience also included personalised Gloss Absolu bottles, while a café cart and informal conversations between matches gave participants an opportunity to connect and unwind.
Kérastase India general manager Anjali Pai said Padel in Gloss was designed to celebrate confidence, self-expression and the role of great hair in helping women take on new challenges.
The event comes as padel continues to gain traction as a social and active lifestyle sport, with the platform positioning beauty as a natural part of these experiences. Through Padel in Gloss, Kérastase India sought to create a space where women could play, compete, connect and express themselves without having to choose between looking polished and giving the game their all.
