LFW 2022: Kriti Sanon, Mrunal Thakur, Diana Penty steal the show on Day 1

Lakmé Fashion Week, the biannual fashion extravaganza, is back with its second leg this year and with it are several Bollywood celebrities who turned showstoppers for designers on Day 1 of the five-day event. On Wednesday, the opening day, stars like Kriti Sanon, Diana Penty, and Mrunal Thakur walked the ramp in show-stopping creations, looking absolutely dazzling.
The Mimi actor, who walked for Shantnu and Nikhil, looked regal in a heavily embroidered lehenga set from their collection ‘Capella’. According to the designer duo, their latest line revisits the opulence that was served the Baroque Era and its majestic artifact: The Chandelier. “With this brilliant object of layered artic lighting as their guiding beacon, the collection also unveiled layers of designing creativity for each ensemble,” the press note read.
The sparkling silver lehenga featured tone-on-tone embroidery and was teamed with a matching choli that featured a plunging neckline and an inverted hem at the center. Giving a modern touch to the otherwise traditional ensemble, was a dupatta worn as a cape.

Kriti’s look was accessorised with a beautiful neckpiece and a few matching rings, as she opted for smokey eyes, nude glossy lips, defined eyebrows, and highlighted features. She wore her hair down with a middle parting.
The embroidery on the collection is inspired Baroque motif leaves, lace, and architecture. “Everything is exaggerated in terms of silhouettes to match the opulence of the early 17th century. The colours used this season are off-white, mint-gold, and charcoal, all an ode to the interiors of a Baroque palace,” read a post on the Lakme Fashion Week’s Instagram page.

Another actor who scorched the ramp on the first day was Mrunal Thakur who was seen in a creation from Mishru’s collection ‘Form & Feeling’. The actor dazzled in a red floral lehenga set that featured an elaborate and meticulous applique work consing of hand-cut 3D flowers and embellishments. The lehenga was paired with a matching dupatta, and blouse that featured broad straps and a plunging neckline.

There was also Diana Penty who kept it sparkly in a sequinned gold-toned ensemble Pallavi Mohan from the designer’s ‘Not So Serious’ collection — an ode to the fey force of friendship, its vibrancy, and energy.
