Shaped like an infinity symbol, the runway reflected the designer’s signature motif of boundless possibilities and transformation. Gaurav’s collection was inspired by the relationship between the sun and the moon and featured over 40 looks across bridalwear, occasionwear, and menswear.
The event brought together a number of stars in the city, with some walking the ramp and others gracing the front row. Some of the celebrities present at the event served fashion statements that impressed us:
Sobhita Dhulipala appeared, wearing a stunning black evening gown from Gaurav Gupta’s collection. The dress features a dramatic, structured sweetheart neckline with sculptural, oversized ruffles that create off-shoulder ‘wings’. She accessorised with statement multi-tiered, cascading white drop earrings that complement the elegant, form-fitting silhouette.
The star of the runway, Ananya Panday, stunned in a pristine white Gaurav Gupta lehenga featuring handcrafted crystal, sequin, and bead embellishments. The look includes a sweetheart neckline blouse, a floor-sweeping skirt, a tulle veil, and crystal strings draped over her shoulders. The ensemble is paired with a diamond septum ring and a diamond maang tikka.
