They came, they posed, they slay! While designers brought drama to the runway, these fashion-forward stars made the red carpet their personal catwalk at the Bombay Times Fashion Week. From sequins that shimmered brighter than camera flashes to silhouettes so sharp they could cut glass; the style game was on point and unapologetically extra. BTFW wasn’t just a celebration of couture — it was a full-blown fashion flex, and these are the glam gods and goddesses who made sure all eyes stayed off the runway and on them.
Taha Shah Badussha and Nitanshi Goel
Taha and Nitanshi exuded timeless elegance in a charcoal pinstripe suit designed by Neeta Lulla; Taha featured a deep-cut waistcoat that added a modern twist to the traditional silhouette. He layered this with a long black overcoat, enhancing the ensemble’s sophistication. While Nitanshi donned a striking ensemble comprising a beaded, pearl-embellished crop top that shimmered under the lights, paired with high-waisted pinstripe trousers. The addition of a structured black overcoat draped over her shoulders added a layer of chic sophistication, making her look both edgy and elegant.
Kritika Kamra
KK turned heads as the showstopper for designer Swati Kapoor. Her outfit featured a rich green lehenga adorned with intricate detailing, paired with a matching blouse showcasing elaborate embroidery. The look was accentuated by a cascading garland of white flowers draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of ethereal charm. Kritika’s ensemble was further complemented by traditional bangles and soft, wavy hair, embodying a perfect blend of elegance and grace.
Anupriya Goenka
Anupriya captivated the audience as the showstopper for Navyasa by Liva. She donned an ensemble that epitomized the brand’s ethos of fluid fashion and fearless femininity. The outfit featured flowing fabrics draped in a dreamy swirl of pastel orange and yellow; she served modern-day royalty vibes – crowned with a tiara and armored in a golden butterfly torso piece that looked straight out of a couture fairytale.
Natasa Stankovic
Natasa donned a two-in-one slay by House of Muskaan Singh that served double the drama — a sheer velvet coat that teased just enough to unveil the floral fantasy of a strapless black gown beneath. One dress, two moods: wear it as a flirty front-attached mini or switch it up into a cuffed, flowy gown moment – because why settle for one look when you can serve a style plot twist!
Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal
Sonakshi and Zaheer turned the style dial to regal for Aynaa World. She shimmered in a golden-beige lehenga blooming with floral finesse and a cape-style dupatta that spelled drama, all tied together with diamonds, naturally. Zaheer played the perfect style wingman in a beige kurta set topped with a brown embroidered jacket that said, royal but make it cool.
Huma Qureshi and Zayed Khan
Rohit Verma’s designs was a love letter to Punjabi tradition, and it had all the flair. Huma Qureshi channeled bridal royalty in a dreamy white ghagra paired with a riot of color in her blouse and jewels heavy enough to have their own fanbase.
Zayed Khan matched the energy in a bold orange sherwani, wrapped in a shawl that screamed regal realness.
Hina Khan
Hina Khan brought the drama in a richly embroidered jacket bursting with vibrant beadwork and fine thread artistry for Kiaayo. She paired it with a voluminous black floor-length skirt, complete with pleats and a high slit. Her accessories were a full-blown fusion fantasy — maang tika, necklace, bracelet — met golden heels in a luxe clash that somehow worked like magic.
