If you watch as many Bollywood movies as I do, you've surely heard of Rakhi Sawant. The outspoken dancer recently starred in an Indian TV rip off of "The Bachelorette"with the goal of getting hitched on the last episode. Though Rakhi finally succumbed to pre-marital jitters and ended the show with an anti-climactic engagement, the show was worth watching just for Rakhi's designer bridal ensemble. Neeta Lulla, national award winning clothing designer, teamed up with the sensational jewelry designer, Farah Ali Khan to create two stunning outfits.
For her wedding (which never actually took place), Rakhi dazzled in a pent-colored, Rajasthani-inspired lengha. The close to $70,000 kundan choker matched a traditional Rajasthani nose ring and a very, very ornate Kundan headpiece. I actually wonder how many pounds that thing weighed! Considering that Rakhi's head was down most of the time (doubtfully out of coyness), I'm guessing the weight was pretty significant. But seriously, kudos to Rakhi for carrying it all so gracefully!
Rakhi's Sangeet outfit was a gorgeous blue, fish cut lengha. The conservative (yet so feminine) outfit was adorned with some intricate silver and Swarovski work. As if the lengha wasn't breathtaking enough, the bride-to-be wore a sparkling diamond necklace that matched the single studded diamond bracelets adorned on both mehndi clad wrists. Can we say 'wow'?
I confess, I have my doubts about the wedding actually taking place at the end of the scheduled six months. But seriously, who cares? The show was worth it just to catch a glimpse of some serious designer bridal fashion.
