Dhulipala, best known for her role in the acclaimed series ‘Made in Heaven,’ turned heads in an elegant ivory ensemble that perfectly encapsulated the spirit of Dadu’s vision.
The outfit featured an off-shoulder bralette paired with a glittery fringe skirt that extended to the floor, all inspired by the flamboyance of an ostrich. Her styling was completed with a classic wet hair look and dewy makeup, accentuating her role as the showstopper.
The ‘Stucco’ collection, a homage to the grandeur of Baroque architecture, showcased Dadu’s signature use of metallic cords and steel wires.
The collection featured deep hues of ruby red, antique gold, and burnt orange, which highlighted the intricate interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of both Baroque artistry and Dadu’s avant-garde aesthetic.
In an interview with ANI, Dhulipala reflected on her style mantra, “I don’t know if I have a mantra, but I think it should be me in whatever I wear and should enjoy it.”
She described her ostrich-inspired outfit as “modern, feminine, clean, minimal but strong and studied well,” underscoring the collection’s sophisticated yet accessible design.
Pearl Academy, an institution in creative education, was instrumental in presenting Rimzim Dadu’s collection at this prestigious fashion event.
The runway featured a range of dramatic silhouettes, including corset tops, modern lehengas, sculptural sarees, and tuxedos for men, each piece reflecting meticulous craftsmanship and Baroque-inspired elegance.
Dadu added her thoughts on the evolution of Indian fashion, noting, “Indian fashion is really evolving; we are at a point where we are out there to experiment and are evolving.”
Dhulipala also shared her excitement about walking for Rimzim Dadu to ANI, saying, “It was amazing; I wish I could do this every year, every day.”
