Street lamps, ice cream stalls, autorickshaws, a man selling balloons, and more—Amit Aggarwal turned the grand finale of the Lakme Fashion Week X FDCI (Fashion Design Council of India) into a vibrant Indian street full of nostalgia and great designs, with ‘Saiyaara’ fame Aneet Padda walking the ramp as the showstopper. The designer presented the latest line from his prêt label, AM:IT, in collaboration with Lakmē 9to5, featuring structured silhouettes, expressive colours, rich textures, glamorous designs, and an innovative mix of everyday and industrial materials, including recycled plastics, plastic wire (reminiscent of market shopping bags), traditional chatai (woven Indian mats), crushed shiny polythene, and foil-like textures.
As for the outfit, Aneet revealed that she loved the corset and the belt, adding, “I think Amit just balances the fluidity and structure so well. Because the designer’s creations are amazing, when asked what the most fun part of collaborating with Amit Aggarwal was, the actor confessed it was ‘obviously the clothes’. Because he’s just such a fun personality, you know, he’s the best, she added, “I also think meeting Amit and getting to spend some time with him was incredible.
We caught up with Aneet post the fashion showcase, and in an interaction with HT Lifestyle, the actor shared her experience collaborating with Amit Aggarwal , her favourite outfit and makeup details from her finale look, a beauty secret she stole from her mom, her go-to wellness routine, and more. Glitter seems to be Aneet’s favourite look of the season. Dressed in a striped shirt paired with a corset and wide-leg purple trousers, Aneet served a cool, quirky Gen Z vibe to the runway. To match the look, she chose shimmering purple eyeshadow, rouged cheeks, glossy pink lip shade, on-fleek brows, and loose tresses. All thanks to her makeup artist Shraddha Naik. “She is just the best. She does everything glitter and pink for me, even though sometimes she’s like, ‘That’s a bit much’. Then I just dip my face in the glitter, and she has to wipe it off. He’s somebody who’s authentic. And obviously, I just love the colour palette, and once I wore the outfit, I just felt like myself. So, I think that was amazing. An actor has to stay fit, and a model has to look her best on the runway! When asked if she has a fitness routine that she swears by and also brings backstage before walking the ramp, Aneet shared, “I obviously go to the gym. I have to. And I’m on a diet.”
When asked what her favourite makeup and outfit detail from her look today was, she replied, “The purple glitter eyeshadow.
