Although the chemistry of Vamika Gabbi and Taha Shah Badusha has spread its charm in Hyundai India Couture Week just like Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla’s Asal & Mard show. The show was organized in collaboration with Reliance Brands Limited, an initiative of FDCI. But it cannot be denied that the showstoppers have given a strong start to this main fashion event going on in New Delhi. Although every look and style should be decoded in a different way, the most talked about on the internet is the pictures of Vamika with a veil. These are the pictures with the veil, which are quite beautiful and made of net. Here is a decode of Vamika’s look as well as the looks of other prominent celebrities who have adopted such a look before.
Vamika South
The actor opened the show dressed in ivory from head to toe. The trail lehenga from the iconic designer duo’s Botanical Bloom line featured a sweetheart cut blouse with ivory silk thread and gold silk embroidery. Pearls and crystals added to the slender volume of the lehenga. While each of these makes a mark on its own, what stood out the most and tied the look together was the pearl-embellished, net veil. The geometric cut and voluminous look of the veil toed the line between tradition and high-fashion, easily becoming one of the top highlights of the show.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Priyanka Chopra Jonas has served up countless fashion moments in her decades-long career. The former Miss World and actress’ Met Gala 2018 look has a fan following of its own. The Desi Girl, who walked the red carpet in a tart velveteen burgundy gown by Ralph Lauren, stole the show thanks to her beautiful hood studded with red Swarovski crystals and golden pearls. Though it is a specimen of hooded couture, the net texture of the camogie outfit, along with the fact that it extends down to her train, gives it a worthy place on this list.
Deepika Padukone
The veil trend was clearly back in 2018. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh returned to Mumbai after their high-profile, intimate wedding at Lake Como in Italy. The reception they hosted was a welcome break from all the ethnic festivities. The newlywed Deepika stunned everyone in a red outfit designed by Zuhair Murad. While the thigh-high slit, bead and sequin work and plunging neckline were definitely the main details of the look, what stood out was the 180-neck veil, which was red in colour, with pearls scattered throughout.
Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor, who always sets trends with her outfits, was truly a sight to behold in 2017 when she served as the muse for Ralph & Russo. The actress walked the runway at the Autumn Winter Couture Week in Paris wearing a fully embroidered white bridal peplum gown. The tulle veil, which was also embroidered with fluid floral motifs, stood out for the fact that it was contained in the stunning head jewellery that surrounded her head and bun, which was similar to the matha patti worn by brides in India.
rhea kapoor
Celebrity stylist and producer Rhea Kapoor knows how to go all out when it comes to dressing her clients. However, she outdid herself for her own wedding. Wearing a chanderi saree by Anamika Khanna, the ivory look was completed with the most delicate pearl veil crafted by the illustrious bridal and fine jewellery house Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas. The look is a masterclass in artistic subtlety.
Do you think the veil is here to stay?
