Kareena Kapoor Khan all set to reinvent ‘Matte’ at the Lakmé Absolute Ultimate Finale at Sophia College

Mumbai, 24 January 2019: There is always speculation around whether the stunning Lakmé brand ambassador will grace the Finale to charm everyone with her aura and poise. This season, the gorgeous, Kareena Kapoor Khan will be back on the runway of Lakmé Fashion Week as she turns the showstopper for Shantanu & Nikhil’s collection ‘Recruit SS’19’ at the Lakmé Absolute Ultimate Finale. But that’s not all!

Each season of Lakmé Absolute Grand Finale has been bigger, better and more breath-taking than the previous one. Venues like the Bandra Fort, The Royal Opera House and Hotel Sahara Star have played a huge role in adding to the grandeur of the mesmerizing Finales. And this season is no different, as the splendid Sophia College gets ready to host its first ever Lakmé Absolute ‘Ultimate’ Finale.

Kareena Kapoor Khan’s grace and Shantanu & Nikhil’s designs that represent the sartorial Indian story with modernity, are a perfect fit to bring alive Lakmé’s beauty theme of Matte Reinvent at the iconic Sophia’s College as the backdrop. This will truly be the perfect larger-than-life end to the 5-day fashion extravaganza.

“Walking at the Lakmé Absolute Grand Finale is always very special for me and this season I am thrilled that Lakmé is going a step further to create the Ultimate Finale. Lakmé’s beauty theme of Matte Reinvent is also very special and I am sure it will strike a chord with every lipstick lover. My love for lipstick is no longer a secret and these new Lakmé Matte Ultimates have become my instant favorites. I’ve always been partial to red and it’s so exciting to see that my favourite shade from the collection ‘Red Extreme’ is also the one that has translated perfectly across Shantanu & Nikhil’s collection! Walking the runway for Shantanu & Nikhil will be a lot of fun as I love their unique sense of style”, says Kareena Kapoor Khan, Brand Ambassador, Lakmé.

Shantanu and Nikhil, Lakmé Absolute Ultimate Finale Designers, “There really couldn’t be a better showstopper to work with. Kareena at every finale has been breathtaking and is a fantastic showstopper. With her, and the glorious backdrop that Sophia’s would present, we really couldn’t have asked for a better combination for our first Finale ever… it is going to be truly ‘Ultimate’.”

Ashwath Swaminathan, Head of Innovations, Lakmé adds, “We cannot imagine a finale without Kareena as the showstopper. And for the Lakmé Absolute Ultimate Finale this season, we are delighted that Kareena will showcase Shantanu & Nikhil’s interpretation of our beauty theme ‘Matte Reinvent’ as the Ultimate show stopper. The venue too promises to make the finale extra special”
