LRT DIARIES—CELEB POWER AT LFW WINTER/FESTIVE 2015
Written by Fleur Xavier and Nethra RaghuramanSep 03, 2015
The doors of the Palladium Hotel, Mumbai, are shut, keeping the world behind them a secret. If we were to peek into the world behind the doors, we would findmadness, mayhem, glamour, excitement andstyle wrapped together to form one of the most misunderstood paradoxes—organized chaos, also known as the backstage of one of the most glamourous events in the country— the Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015. People flit about, from fixing green rooms for designers to ensuring all the refreshments are in order and when it’s time, the doors are opened, and a red carpet rolls out to meet the style divas and aces that we see often see on our screens—B-Town folk and socialites.
Fashion weeks are a whole lot of fun; not only do you get the first looks of how the designer unfolds his/her new creations, but you also get to see how the Bollywood folk are treating fashion, and how they receive the new trends. Moreover, you also get to watch stars from the silver screen walking the ramp, sporting what the designer feels is the most important design of his collection and the celeb power at this Lakmé Fashion Week was definitely quite dramatic!
Runway Renegades
Now, actors or actresses walking the ramp for designers isn’t unheard of, and therefore we weren’t surprised when we saw quite a few known faces taking the ramp by storm for very well known designers.
Ranbir Kapoor was the showstopper for Manish Malhotra, sizzling the ramp with a red, velvet blazer that he wore on top of a grey polka dotted shirt and rust coloured pants. With his almost crew style haircut the actor carried the look with ease.
Sooraj Pancholi walked the ramp for Masaba, in a tunic type white and black shirt, belted in the middle on top of black pants. Combined with his boyish charm, the look suited him.
Dia Mirza was seen on the ramp for Anita Dongre, who brought forth her ‘Grassroots’ collection. Dia looked stunning in the simple black floor length dress, with a beaded bust that spoke volumes about how simplicity can make a strong statement.
Aditi Rao Hydari, the showstopper for Ritu Kumar, walked the ramp with an attitude of casual elegance. In a pink shimmery sari that she wore over a pair of golden shimmery churidaar and completed with a qawali cap, she showed off some of her ‘ada’ and her smile was simply adorable. Needless to say, she looked lovely.
Shraddha Kapoor, as the face of Lakmé, walked in a stunning silver jumpsuit by NamrataJoshipura and enamoured the audience.
Esha Gupta in a shimmery black voluminous outfit walked for RiddhiMehra looking great as the designer’s show stopper and Malaika Arora Khan walked for Arpita Mehta in an Indian avatar with a twist which involved a thigh high slit in the lehenga.
Kareena Kapoor as the face of Lakmé Absolute walked for Gaurav Gupta in a black sculpted number looking absolutely fantastic!
Stylish appearances
While some celebrities took to walking in the limelight, others preferred to be stylish attendees of the Fashion Week. The stylish attendees included ShabanaAzmi, KalkiKoechlin, Gul Panag, Shriya Saran, Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput, MandiraBedi, Anushka Manchanda,Meher and Arjun Rampal, Ritesh and GeneliaDeshmukh, Lauren Gottlieb, Eli Avram, SonaMohapatra,Sophie Choudry, AyushmannKhurana, Rashmi Nigam, SangitaBijlani amongst others.
Like we mentioned, this Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015 was definitely the one stop shop to check out a multitude of celebrities.
