New Delhi: Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar brought the wow factor when she glided down the runway as the showstopper for ace designer Ritu Kumar at the Hyundai India Couture Week 2025. The temperature at the venue rose as soon as she walked gracefully in a golden lehenga. Her blouse with a cape instead of a dupatta drew everyone’s attention. Pednekar’s bold lip colour with a dewy base for her makeup enhanced her look. For her jewellery, the diva wore emerald studs and a diamond necklace with an emerald centre stone.
India Couture Week 2025 began on July 23 and will end on July 30 in Delhi. Multiple talented designers have been showcasing their collections at the ongoing fashion event. On Day 5, fashion enthusiasts witnessed veteran designer Ritu Kumar present her latest collection – Threads of Time. The brilliant designer has been active in the fashion industry for above five decades.
Ritu Kumar is always mindful of evolving fashion trends, particularly among the younger generation owing to their ever-changing requirement. With her latest collection Threads of Time, Ritu Kumar has proved it – her collection can work for the changing time and changing minds. It honoured craft, memory, and a future-forward vision.
A designer faces multiple challenges as they need to evolve constantly with changing time and generation to cater to the changing fashion needs. This is why Kumar’s idea of blending traditional Indian textiles with modern design works, and the same is reflected in her latest collection at ICW.
For many, fashion maybe a reflection of a person’s choices, but for Kumar, it is all about a person’s “understanding” of clothing and “instinct” regarding the fabrics they opt for.
Ritu Kumar put to action what she believes in. In the initial stage of her career, she began with traditional bridal wear and theme. However, with time, her presentation travelled to modern wedding clothing and style.
If you are a fan of Bhumi Pednekar’s acting skills, you can watch her in an upcoming web series titled Daldal. In this thriller drama she will be seen playing DCP Rita Ferreira. It will be out on Prime Video. She was last seen in the Netflix’s series “The Royals” and movie titled Mere Husband Ki Biwi.
Bhumi Pednekar’s presence in the ICW event is not about fashion. It’s about redefining modern bridal glamour in the most fashionable way.
