The designers put up a scintillating show for the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive grand finale last night which received a standing ovation from the audience including renowned designer Rohit Bal.

Usually established designers like Manish Malhotra, Rohit Bal, Narendra Kumar, Tarun Tahiliani are allotted the grand finale slot, but this time younger designers were given the chance to bring the curtains down on the five-day fashion extravaganza.

Wearing a black and white knee length dress with jacket and black leggings teamed with stand-out eye make up, Kareena walked the ramp first for Kallol.

For Pankaj and Nidhi, Kareena looked stunning in a jet black basket woven top with infusions of leather with long fringe detailing.

 

This contradicted with ace designer-cum-friend Manish Malhotra's finale outfit in the previous season where she was the show stopper.

This season she went dark as compared to her angelic look for Malhotra earlier.

"I have been on ramp earlier. I am very happy to be able to encourage new talent. It is an honour to be wearing their collection on the ramp. I should be thanking them for giving me this opportunity to wear these clothes," Kareena said after the show.

"It was electrifying to see the reception this designers got today," she added. (MORE)
