Sonkashi Sinha, Koena Mitra and Shruti Hassan graces Lakme Fashion Week Ramp

It may be because her debut Dabangg is already the biggest hit of the year that Sonakshi had such confidence in her strides. She walked the ramp for Kumar’s collection for Killer Jeans.

Dressed in heels, with black jeans, a printed grey shirt, and a hat on her head, she carried the look with attitude.

The glares she wore were, however, quite unnecessary and yes, Salman Khan should urge her to lose just a little more weight. But we liked Sonakshi, she walked with elan, seemed to have fun and even did a little jig for the cameras. It was quite a different story from her last ramp outing at the 2008 Lakme week where she walked for designer duo Dev R Nil and looked awkward. The new Sonakshi can rock any look.

We’re not sure whether the kiss was spontaneous or a gimmick, but it certainly drew attention. Koena, who walked the ramp for good friend designer Rajat Tangri, kissed him and, as many claimed, set the mercury soaring. The generous display of cleavage might also have helped in upping the temperature.

Dressed in a sequined black cocktail dress with pink edging, the actress looked confident.

The collection, inspired by the Victorian era using thick winter fabrics, did not look too Victorian though.

But we guess Tangri was relying on Koena to do the magic.

Satya Paul’s inspiration for the collection was tarot cards, which had saris worn with leather corsets and dresses with gladiator shoulders. It was interesting to see rocker chick Shruti give up her usual grunge look for Indo- chic in an aquamarine sari worn with a black net blouse. We just wish the sari was not so drab.

Or was it Shruti who looked uninspired in it? The look and make- up was simple and pretty, but Shruti is known for her edgy dressing and that was missing. Did she rock the look? Not quite.
