LFW: Kalki Sparkles In Gold

Kalki Koechlin shed her cool, girl-next-door vibe for a sophisticated avatar as she turned muse for Aikeyah on Day 3 of the Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI.

Choosing to keep the spotlight on the outfit's intricate golden collar, she kept her accessories to the minimum.

Wearing her sari like a skirt, she showed an all-new way of draping the traditional six yards.
