Aneet Padda marks first ramp walk dipped in a golden Tarun Tahiliani masterpiece at Lakme Fashion Week

Aneet Padda made a stunning debut on the runway as she turned showstopper for designer Tarun Tahiliani at the grand finale of Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI. The Saiyaara actor, who has swiftly become a fan favourite, owned the ramp with her elegance, poise, and a confident stride that had all eyes on her. Dressed in a breathtaking golden bejewelled ensemble from Tahiliani’s new collection Bejeweled, Aneet embodied the perfect balance of Indian tradition and modern couture.

The Golden Vision: A Fusion of Saree and Gown

Aneet’s look drew inspiration from the fluidity and grace of Indian drapes, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Her outfit featured a corseted bodice with a sweetheart neckline, delicate sequin embellishments, and structured boning that accentuated her frame. The ensemble flowed into a pallu-like drape, giving the illusion of a saree merged with the structure of a gown. Each shimmer of the metallic sequins caught the light, while Swarovski crystals added a soft, jeweled radiance.

Tarun Tahiliani described the outfit as a celebration of “timeless Indian craftsmanship meeting the modern woman’s ease.” The piece moved like liquid gold, elegant, strong, and fluid perfectly mirroring Aneet’s presence on the ramp.

Beauty, Poise, and a Star on the Rise

Keeping the look effortlessly glamorous, Aneet styled her hair in soft, voluminous waves with a neat centre parting. Her makeup struck a balance between subtle and bold: darkened brows, soft smoky eyes, winged eyeliner, and glossy pink lips. Diamond bracelets and a statement ring completed her dazzling look.

The finale show marked a fitting wrap to this season of Lakmé Fashion Week, which brought together leading Indian designers and emerging talents to celebrate innovation and sustainability in fashion.

Riding high on the global success of her debut film Saiyaara alongside Ahaan Panday, Aneet’s ramp moment felt like a natural progression for a star fast becoming a style icon. Aneet Padda has officially arrived, both in fashion and in fame.
