Kareena Kapoor Khan Returns as the Face of Lakmé to Celebrate 25 Years of Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI

Kareena Kapoor Khan Makes a Stunning Comeback as the Face of Lakmé, Celebrating 25 Years of Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI in Manish Malhotra

Kareena Kapoor Khan returns as the first face of Lakmé, and what a way to mark the return; the actress dazzles in a Manish Malhotra saree, as she graces the 25-year celebration of Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI, just like the real Bebo would. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, this Kareena look features a godet-style saree, beautifully coupled with a vintage French lace blouse. The ensemble topped off with Swarovski and pearl embroidery transforms this vision into timeless elegance.

All this besides the grand innings by Kareena was her emotional speech that touched everyone in the fashion world. In her acknowledgment of pride in being the face of Lakmé, she dedicated that evening to the backstage industry heroes: the stylists, make-up artists, hair experts, choreographers, models, and all others who worked tirelessly to create the magic behind the scenes. “Yes, I do feel privileged to be the face of Lakmé, but in my opinion Lakmé Fashion Week is not just about actors walking the finale; it is about each and every one of them who has been backstage. We owe it to them. They make us look amazing,” she said.

Kareena reminisces on her ties with Lakmé Fashion Week when she thinks of the many marvelous memories she has had on the ramp. “For me, it was never star and brand at all. Most people who know me understand I do everything with my heart. Whether it was walking with size zero, or when Taimur was in my belly, or I’m size 10 or 12, it never mattered. It matters that my heart is on the stage, being with Lakmé Fashion Week, and every designer I walked for. My confidence is what really showed.”

This was also the first time with Lakmé and the commencement of a fresh, thrilling new chapter with the brand. Sharing her excitement for what’s coming, Kareena added, “I have enjoyed my time with Lakmé as a face, and now we are set to take up a journey afresh together. Hopefully, I will be back on ramp soon with all my favorite designers, wearing their spectacular creations.”

Indeed, with her coming back, it is not only about glamour; it is also about her passion, which is deep-rooted in fashion-the people behind it-as very obvious in her presence at the historic celebration of Lakmé Fashion Week along with FDCI-more than a star-studded moment; it was a tribute to all-hard work and artistry of defining the fashion industry.
