Bollywood razzmatazz adds luster to Lakme Fashion Week

Bollywood razzmatazz adds luster to Lakme Fashion Week


The razzle-dazzle of Bollywood actors added excitement and sheen to the opening day of the Lakme Fashion Week in South Mumbai.

The fashion extravaganza kicked off on Saturday at the National Centre for Performing Arts in Mumbai with designer J J Valaya ’s latest collection. But the show that drew maximum crowd from tinsel town was by Manish Malhotra . And actor Ranbir Kapoor made his ramp debut in a show by Arjun Khanna.

Celebrities like Saif Ali Khan , Kareena Kapoor , Deepika Padukone , Neetu Singh, Urmila Matondkar , Amrita Rao , Gauri Khan and Kajol admired the collections showcased on the ramp.

Saif and Kareena themselves made a fashion statement as they walked in the auditorium hand-in-hand. Saif was casually dressed in a T-shirt and jeans while Kareena looking gorgeous in an orange halter top.

But the moment of the day was when Ranbir Kapoor, dressed in an embroidered sherwani by Arjun Khanna, walked the ramp. Ranbir sported a stubble and had put on some greasepaint to look rugged.

Girlfriend Deepika and mom Neetu Singh cheered from the first row as Ranbir walked the ramp with the grace of a prince. As Ranbir passed by Deepika, he blew a flying kiss to her.

Deepika was apparently so impressed with Ranbir’s ramp debut that she couldn’t resist rushing backstage to hug him after the show. Guess the lovers don’t care to restrain themselves now that mom Neetu Singh approves of the relationship.

Lakme Fashion Week will be a five-day fashion extravaganza with over fifty designers showcasing their creations. The prominent designers at the event will be Sabyasachi Mukherjee , Neeta Lulla , Narendra Kumar, Nandita Mahtani and Pria Kataria Puri. Nine emerging designer will also take part in the event.
