When we caught up with Shantanu Mehra, one half of designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil, way before the Lakme Absolute Ultimate Finale by Shantanu & Nikhil, he was totally tight-lipped about his finale muse Kareena Kapoor Khan’s look. It’s that whole meaningful dialogue on bringing nostalgia back into our lives, making it look sexy and modernising it with a twist. There is a bit of exaggerated shoulders and capes, sort of almost making the woman look fierce, very comfortably glamorous and bold at the same time. The collection is pretty much in the colour palette of matte red that has been introduced by Lakme this time — the Matte Reinvent lip colour called the Red Extreme. Bathed in dramatic red, it was in sync with the Shantanu & Nikhil collection that drew inspiration from Lakme’s beauty theme — Matte Reinvent.
