The second day of the Lakmé Fashion Week, celebrating its 25th year, was a star-studded affair with Veer Pahariya making his debut by walking for designer duo Abraham and Thakore. The Sky Force actor looked dashing in an ivory bandhgala and flared pants as he walked down the runway oozing oodles of elegance and style. But more than his walk, the internet is excited about him blowing a kiss and waving at the audience - which also included beau Tara Sutaria. Tara was spotted at the show wearing an ivory pantsuit set styled with a black tube top. Sleek pulled-back bun, smokey eyes, a diamond choker and matching studs complemented her look, which she accessorised with a mini black Lady Dior bag.

Ikat in Tencel drapes softly, while subtle surface detailing adds quiet refinement, blending tradition with modern ease and elegance. While the menswear focuses on bandhgalas and bundis, kurtas with subtle surface work, womenswear features intricate embroidery, sequin work, and shiny metallics, blending together tradition and modernity to represent understated elegance. Aditi Rao Hydari for Satya Paul Later that evening, Aditi Rao Hydari walked the ramp for late designer Satya Paul's exclusive collection The Night Garden. The Heeramandi actor joined the brand as co-creative director for an exclusive collection set to launch next year. Talking about her collaboration, she said in a press note: “ The brand’s signature style of reinterpreting the saree with a modern sensibility is exciting . My vision is to build on this foundation by creating versatile, effortless pieces that speak to those who seek beauty and luxury with a strong sense of individuality.” Welcoming Aditi into the family, David Abraham, Rakesh Thakore and Kevin Nigli, Satya Paul’s Creative Directors, said that her "timeless elegance, distinctive style, and deep appreciation for arts and culture make her the perfect partner for this inspiring new chapter" for Satya Paul. The Night Garden was an exclusive experience curated by the designers, that offered guests an immersive glimpse into the brand’s festive prints and drapes imagined in a blooming garden under the stars. The five day event ends on October 12 with Tarun Tahiliani closing the fashion extravaganza. We can't wait to see what the rest of the days have in store for us!
