A blend of contemporary and edgy, she raised the bar with an outfit that combined contemporary styles with gutsy confidence.
What Disha Wore?
Her daring ramp walk showcased a look that was right on the edge of traditional boundaries. This included an outfit with extreme tight semantics (edgy cuts), combined with lots of shine, and one that was designed to enhance her toned body. This outfit was bold in its styling (minimal accessories) which was interpreted to mean that it could be worn at any occasion (making it very versatile). In addition to this, Disha walked with confidence which was a big part of the overall look and feels!
Fashion experts and the general public praised this look because of its contemporary look and its potential for being accepted internationally. This look also represents how Indian couture is evolving.
