Taapsee’s look at Lakme Fashion Week 2018 has left us in a fashion fix

Taapsee Pannu may not be your typical Bollywood beauty, but she has made her acting prowess and fashion skills more than evident lately. But recently, as she turned showstopper for Ritu Kumar’s collection on the opening day of the Lakme Fashion Week 2018, we’re a bit on the fence about her look. Here’s why!

Taapsee walked the runway in an ensemble designed by Ritu Kumar that was a part of the collection titled ‘Hip Hop Baroque’. The theme of the outfit was an interesting blend of rap culture and street couture. The actress wore a free-flowing, shimmery gown with a thigh-high slit in hues of yellow and yellow that almost created the illusion of an animal print. She clubbed it with black shorts and a sleeveless crop top with lace detailing and sheer panels.

But for some strange reason, the stylist decided to add a drab black grommet holes belt at the waist with one end loosely hanging on the side. In an attempt to go the 90s punk route, one sleeve was kept off the shoulder, which looked extremely abrupt.

Taapsee opted for chunky, ankle-length black boots that highlighted her sexy pins perfectly. The stylist chose a statement choker and a slender silver chain that again didn’t quite complement the look and made the neckline crowded. We think that ditching accessories completely would have worked wonders for the look and a dramatic lip colour like grey or blue would have done the trick too.

We don’t really dislike the ensemble per se but feel that the styling could have been a lot better. Probably, playing a bit with the hair and going for a braided, hip-hop hairdo or sultry topknot could have also spiced up the outfit drastically.

It also didn’t do justice to Taapse’s slender frame, making her look a tad clumsy. What say? Do you agree with us?
