Ananya Panday shines at Lakme Fashion Week 2026

Bollywood actress Ananya Panday turned heads as she walked the ramp for ace designer Rahul Mishra at Lakme Fashion Week. She appeared as the showstopper for his latest Fall/Winter 2026 collection titled White Gold.

Ananya wore a chic ivory outfit that reflected elegance and modern style. Her look included a crisp white shirt with a collared neckline, front buttons, and full sleeves. To add a unique touch, the designer decorated the shirt with three crystal dragonfly brooches on the front.

She paired the shirt with a stylish tennis skirt featuring a mini length, pleated design, and an indigo blue border. The outfit was completed with an ivory blazer that had padded shoulders, notch lapels, and detailed embroidery, giving it a structured and polished finish.

For accessories, Ananya chose white stilettos and minimal rings. Her hairstyle featured soft waves with a centre parting and fresh bangs, adding a soft look to her overall appearance.

Her makeup was kept simple yet glowing, with feathered brows, mascara, soft pink eye shadow, blush, glossy lips, and a subtle highlighter.

Audience reaction

Fans on social media praised her ramp walk and styling. Many users called her “an international model,” while others compared her confidence to global runway stars. Some even described her as one of the best showstoppers among the new generation of Bollywood actors.

Rahul Mishra’s White Gold collection focuses on sustainability and tradition. The collection uses chemical-free cotton fabric made with organic methods. It also brings back the traditional Naal weaving technique of Chanderi, which was popular 15–20 years ago.

The collection represents elements of nature—Air, Fire, Earth, and Water—highlighting a blend of heritage craftsmanship and modern fashion.
