Lakme Fashion Week 2026: Siddhant Chaturvedi, Kalki Koechlin, Alaya's 'fun' ramp walk for Max steal hearts
Mumbai, March 22
Siddhant Charturvedi, Kalki Koechlin and Alaya F stole the show with their groovy dance steps while walking for Max Fashion at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week here on Sunday.
Max Fashion presented its new collection, "Unserious Everything," at the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai, emphasising effortless style and playful craft at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
The show's energy was anchored by a star-studded lineup that blended 90's nostalgia with modern Gen Z trends. Bollywood actress Alaya F channelled a peppy-retro aesthetic in a citrine crop top and low-rise blue denims, while actress Kalki Koechlin opted for a minimalist, all-white ensemble featuring a sleeveless top and midi skirt.
Rounding out the highlights, actor Siddhant Chaturvedi brought a playful, high-fashion edge on the ramp in a crisp white jacket adorned with funky brooches. He also grooved with the ladies on the ramp and gave flowers to Kalki Koechlin to imbue fun in fashion.
The three distinct style directions anchored the runway, Urban, Sports Core, and Core Casual, each a world unto itself, yet all unified by the same underlying philosophy: that a wardrobe should move as freely as the person inside it, as per the press note shared by Lakme Fashion Week. The show closed on a poetic Indo-Western finale.
Siddhant shared his reaction to walking for Max at the Lakme Fashion Week. He said that he was having "fun" while showcasing the collection.
While talking to the media, Siddhant said, "I'm wearing Max. The clothes are quite comfortable. I'm also wearing a lot of charms, as you can see. It's easy, it's light, and I had fun walking on the stage and that too when my song was playing, which Rebel and I have written and rapped on. So it's always fun walking to your own song. I mean, this is like the first time I've done it."
Siddhant was last seen in the film 'Do Deewane Seher Mein', which also starred Mrunal Thakur in the lead role. It was directed by Ravi Udyawar.

Finally, fashion that's actually fun and wearable! Max is hitting the right notes with this collection. Siddhant grooving to his own song must have been a blast. More of this energy, please! 🙌
The Indo-Western finale sounds interesting. It's great to see our traditional elements being blended so seamlessly with modern trends on a global platform like LFW. Alaya F's retro look was a total throwback!
While the fun element is refreshing, I hope the focus on "playful" doesn't overshadow the craftsmanship. Fashion weeks are also about celebrating design and technique. Just a respectful thought!
Max is for the masses, and seeing such a high-energy show makes the brand more relatable. Siddhant giving flowers to Kalki was such a sweet, desi touch. Hope the collection is affordable too!
Love the 90s nostalgia! Low-rise denims are making a comeback? 😅 Alaya F carried it off well. The whole show seems like it was a party on the ramp. Fashion should be joyful, after all.
