It is not often that we see Salman Khan walk the ramp. But when he does, it surely turns into a showstopper moment.
What
On Monday, October 14, the Sikandar actor dished out absolute festive vibes at fashion designer Vikram Phadnis' 35th anniversary gala.
Phadnis celebrated 35 years in fashion and cinema with a grand showcase of his new collection, ‘Ananta'.
The glittery night of sartorial presentations celebrated the theme, with 100 models showcasing the designer's breathtaking creations. The spotlight, however, remained on the superstar.
Salman Khan closed the show in a striking black raw silk open sherwani featuring intricate resham embroidery, layered over a sharply tailored pin-tuck kurta and paired with sleek straight pants. A regal look that made a grand statement.
The fitted, well-tailored number featured Vikram Phadnis' signature gold, maroon and fuchsia pink floral embroidery adorning the shoulders, chest and sleeves. The contrasting interplay of colours on the otherwise black base delivered just the right amount of opulence.
Speaking about the special moment, Salman Khan shared, “I've known Vikram for years, he's been a part of many of my films, and so many memories. Watching him complete 35 years and being part of this celebration feels truly special.”
Other celebs like Sushmita Sen, Bipasha Basu, Genelia Deshmukh, Sonakshi Sinha, Bobby Deol, Tanya Deol, Dia Mirza, Nushrratt Bharuccha, Rhea Chakraborty, Neelam Kothari Soni were also spotted at the show, which unfolded against the backdrop of JW Marriott Mumbai.
About Ananta
Ananta meaning endless, was a reflection of Vikram's journey with earthy tones, zardozi, aari and threadwork shaping silhouettes that were structured yet fluid.
For over three decades, Vikram Phadnis has built a legacy defined by Indian couture, storytelling and craftsmanship.
Salman's Previous Ethnic Looks
One of Salman Khan's memorable ramp walks took place in 2018 when he shared the stage with Katrina Kaif ahead of their film Bharat.
The duo rocked the ethnic game in classic Manish Malhotra couture. Salman picked out a Pathani salwar and kurta, coupled with an embellished jacket. Golden hand-woven embroidery along the neckline, chest and middle dominated the jacket. Meanwhile, the subtle red lining on the collars served as some much-needed contrast. Baggy Patiala pants suited the overall aesthetic.

On another page of his ramp walk diaries, Salman Khan commanded attention at the IIM campus to promote his film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, co-starring Sonam Kapoor.

This time, the superstar resorted to a khadi pyjama-kurta with a matching bandi. He accessorised it with a pocket square. A shawl, decorated with intricate floral patterns in rusty hues of green, gold and red, was hung casually over one of his shoulders.
