Shilpa turns fashion diva

Bollywood fashion diva Shilpa Shetty took on the role of 'Her Majesty' for Delhi-based designer duo Rimple and Harpreet Narula on the fourth day of Amazon India Couture Week 2015. Donning a heavily embroidered gold lehenga-choli, the "Dhadkan" star, who walked for the designers for the first time, looked subtle yet royal in their Days of Raj inspired collection titled "Maharajah and Co." "I have been wearing Rimple and Harpreet's creation, but this is the first time I am walking the ramp as a show-stopper for them. They are very talented and I feel really happy in walking for them," Shilpa told reporters. The designer duo, who are known for mixing rural craft juxtaposed with fine hand embroideries, were excited with Shilpa being their showstopper. "Shilpa was a perfect showstopper for us. The way she pulled of the outfit no one else could have done," said Rimple. The collection, which was dominated by subtle gold karigari, presented the early interactions of the royals with western luxury where they called the photographers from Europe to capture them. "Our inspiration was Maharaja and company. And the main theme of the show was how Maharaja's functioned in the past with influence from the West," she added. Shilpa, 40, who appeared on the ramp during the middle of the show, loved the concept. "I just fell in love with the concept of the show. In those times there was no option to take selfies and photographers were actually commissioned to come take there photo. It was unique and I loved the way the old world charm was created on stage," she said. Painted in the hues of ivory, beige, burnished golds and velveteen ruby, all the outfits of collection had hand-crafted embroidery and crystals embedded on it. The "Life in a... Metro" actress, who received a lot of praise for pulling off the heavy outfit with ease, said glamour comes with a lot of weight. Known for her svelte figure, the actress, who has released a Yoga DVD in the past, will soon come up with her book based on healthy lifestyle and advised everyone to read it and stay fit.
