In an era dominated by paparazzi culture and relentless social media scrutiny, many celebrities feel compelled to maintain a polished appearance, even at airports. However, actress Wamiqa Gabbi is challenging this norm with her refreshing approach to fashion.
“I don’t take airport-look pressure. I dress up for myself,” Wamiqa told ANI. “Earlier, I used to feel that good clothes are meant for good days only but life is too short. I dress up for myself. I will dress up every day if I want to. There’s no pressure as such, nobody should take the pressure. It’s nonsense.”
Showstopper In India Couture Week 2024
Wamiqa made headlines on Wednesday as she walked as a showstopper for renowned designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla on the first day of India Couture Week 2024 at Taj Palace, Delhi.
She opened the show in an exquisite ivory trail lehenga from the ‘Botanical Bloom’ line, featuring intricate Resham embroidery with ivory silk threads, highlighted with pearls and crystals. She later closed the show as a regal bride, dazzling the audience in a red lehenga from the ‘Bridal Gota’ collection, meticulously handcrafted with Gota, Zardozi, and encrusted with crystals. This event marked Wamiqa’s debut on the runway, adding another feather to her cap.
Reflecting on her first ramp walk, Wamiqa said, “I never imagined that my first ramp walk would be for Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. It was like a dream. I was scared before hitting the ramp but once I entered the stage everything went well.”
Work Front
On the professional front, Wamiqa Gabbi continues to shine. She is set to share the screen with Varun Dhawan in the upcoming film ‘Baby John,’ which is slated for release in December 2024. As she continues to redefine fashion norms and make strides in her career, Wamiqa remains an inspiring figure, challenging societal pressures and embracing authenticity.
