We all adore what our celebs wear and most of the times try to imitate the same style. Afterall a lot of the fashion comes from Bollywood movies whether it’s the Madhuri Dixit’s outfit from Hum Aapke Hain Kaun or Deepika Padukone saree from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. We all love every bit of it.
Recently I attended Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2020 held in Mumbai. The star studded affair spotted our favourite celebs from Bollywood on the ramp as well as the front row. Let me give you a download what the designers showcased and what our Bollywood celebs were spotted wearing:
- Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover for 6degree presents Sanjukta Dutta
Sanjukta Dutta’s “Prayaash” for her label ‘Sanjukta’s Studio’ was a beautiful amalgamation of the cultures of Assam and the works of renowned personalities in the history of art.. The constant elements in Sanjukta’s collections were vibrancy, pizzazz, modern twists to traditional styles and assortments of chic drapes. The designer’s Summer/Resort 2020 line took its inspiration from the art of most legendary artists of the world like Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Oscar Monet, M. F. Hussain and more.
Sanjukta chose Bollywood’s power couple Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover who strutted down the runway in stunning coordinated black outfits, made from Assamese silk. Karan looked regal in an asymmetric black Pathani, detailed with woven motifs in gold. For an equally enchanting entry, Bipasha donned a lavishly crafted saree in black with a golden pallav, teamed with a ruffled-interest blouse.
