Emraan’s ‘dress’ rehearsals

Vikram Phadnis has designed both Emraan Hashmi’s and his fiancée Parveen Shahani’s sangeet and wedding outfits for December 12 and 13. The sangeet will be held at J W Marriott, while the nikah might be held either at Emraan’s Bandra flat or at Taj Land’s End with close family and friends in attendance.
Here, Phadnis gives HiTLIST readers an exclusive glimpse of the couple’s wedding outfits and the reason behind Emi’s dramatic weight loss.

Parveen has two outfits ready for her special day. Says Vikram, “I’ve made two outfits, one each for the sangeet and the nikah. We are yet to take a final call on what she will wear for which event. There are two lehengas, one in red and gold and the other in maroon and gold. Gold and red are Parveen’s favourite colours.
She selected everything from the colours to the fabrics. The dupattas have intricate zardozi work, diamantes, opaque stones and cutwork on the edges, while the lehengas have patchwork on them. Parveen’s jewellery will be accessorised on December 1.”
As for the groom, Phadnis says he’s designed a formal black suit and a beige sherwani. “Emraan will wear the sherwani along with Pesha-wari sandals for the sangeet. For the wedding, he will wear a formal black suit with a champagne gold tie,” says the designer.
