The Saiyaara star and now the Gen Z face of Lakme, Aneet Padda, made her ‘Bejeweled’ runway debut at the Lakmē Grand Finale in New Delhi.
Celebrating Indian artistry and contemporary glam, Aneet sashayed down the ramp in a bold, shimmery concept saree envisioned by the Lakmē Grand Finale designer Tarun Tahiliani.
Aneet’s showstopper look featured Tarun’s signature drape styled with a sheer corset realised in nude and glistening gold. Embraced in sequins and Swarovski crystals, the ensemble dazzled as Aneet glided down the runway, making it a moment to remember.

under one roof. Reflecting Lakmē’s vision of effortless, expressive beauty, Aneet’s understated showstopper glam celebrated her natural radiance with elan.
Bringing Tarun Tahiliani’s Bejeweled collection to life, Aneet looked like a gilded goddess in the couture ensemble. Aneet’s ensemble, inspired by the timeless grace of Indian drapes, was reimagined through a modern couture lens. Crafted in metallic sequins, the ethereal texture and fluid drape brought seamless artistry to Aneet’s showstopper look. The sculptural corset with sheer detailing brought bold glamour to Aneet’s Indian contemporary style.
The showstopper ensemble from the Bejeweled collection mirrors Tarun’s vision of India Modern, and he hopes the collection inspires women to shine in their own presence, as much as in what they wear.
