Thigh Slits
Just when we thought that modern bridalwear was coming to a defined stage, designers at Lakmé Fashion Week surprised us with this eye-catching and head-turning detail. The thigh slit made its way from the cocktail gowns to pre-draped saris adding a touch of sensuality. Take the hint brides as the thigh slit is here to stay.
Clingy Lehengas
As glamourous as ball gowns and OTT lehengas are, the runway saw a fresh silhouette that focused on synching and hugging your bottom. The elongating corseted waistband by designers Saaksha & Kinni and the mermaid fit by Varun Nidhika gave us an elevated take on bridal lehengas. Give this a go if you are looking to create a unique bridal moment beyond cancan-filled skirts.
