#RashmikaSlays šŸ’ƒāœØ | Fashion Events or Publicity Stunts? Let’s Talk About Her Bold Outfits!



When fashion showstopperĀ celebs like Rashmika MandannaĀ strut down the runway in jaw-dropping, bold outfits, it always sparks a debate: Are these outfits really practical for daily wear, or are they purely about generating buzz for the event, designer, and celebrity? šŸŽ¤āœØ

Designed for Publicity?

Some critics believe these looks are more about marketingĀ than actual fashionĀ that people could wear in real life. According to fashion commentator Tanisha Verma, ā€œThese outfits are primarily designed to create attention-grabbing moments. The goal is to leave an impression, make the event viral, and promote the designer.ā€ This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it does make people wonder if these stunning outfits serve any purpose beyond the runway. Rohit Bal, a well-known Indian designer, has also shared his thoughts, stating that ā€œrunway outfits are about pushing boundaries of creativity, not practicality.ā€

At many fashion events, the garments seen on the runway are rarely what you would see someone wearing on the streets. Instead, they are carefully crafted for visual impact, focusing on artistryĀ and storytellingĀ rather than comfort or functionality.

Celebrities & Their Runway Moments šŸ’«

For celebrities, walking the runway as a showstopperĀ is often about more than just clothes—it's about personaĀ and brand building. Kareena KapoorĀ once remarked that the glam and drama of runway outfits are part of the appeal: ā€œIt’s a chance to step into something extraordinary, something you wouldn’t wear off the runway.ā€

In a recent interview, Rashmika MandannaĀ expressed her love for fashion shows but admitted that the outfits are designed for special occasions. ā€œSome of these outfits are incredible, but I wouldn’t wear them outside of these events,ā€ she said. Her comment highlights the broader belief that these ensembles are great for red carpetsĀ and runway shows, but impractical for real-life situations like casual dinners or day-to-day activities.

Runway Fashion: Art vs. Utility? šŸŽØšŸ›ļø

Many argue that runway fashionĀ is a form of art, and art is not always meant to be practical. Fashion historian Meghna SharmaĀ explains: "The runway is like a canvasĀ where designers showcase their vision, their art, and their story." In this context, the exaggerated outfits, intricate embellishments, and bold statements are not intended for your everyday wardrobe but serve as inspirationĀ for future trends.

However, some fashion experts also believe that while these show-stopping looks capture attention, there should be a balanceĀ between creativity and wearability. ā€œWhile runway looks are over-the-top, they often influence high-street fashion,ā€ says designer Manish Malhotra. ā€œSome of the elements you see on the runway—like a specific cut, fabric, or trend—do trickle down into more practical, wearable fashion.ā€

Are Showstopper Outfits Only About Publicity? šŸ“ø

There’s no doubt that showstopper outfits bring immense publicity. For designers, it’s about showcasing their work in the most eye-catchingĀ way possible. For celebrities, walking the ramp in stunning, often unconventional attireĀ makes headlines, contributing to their personal brand.

Moreover, fashion events thrive on these viral moments. Fashion blogger Arjun MalhotraĀ sums it up: ā€œRunways are like the OscarsĀ of fashion. People don’t wear those bold outfits every day, but they create talking pointsĀ and draw attention to the brand and the star.ā€ Social media has only amplified this aspect, with fans eager to see their favorite celebs in dazzlingĀ outfits, leading to a flurry of likes and shares. šŸ“²ā¤ļø

The Audience's Perspective: Do You Find These Looks Relatable? šŸ¤”

Many fashion enthusiasts, however, feel disconnected from these high-fashion looks. Ananya, a college student and fashion lover, shares her thoughts: ā€œI love watching the fashion shows, but I can’t imagine wearing most of those outfits. They look uncomfortable and impossible for real-life use.ā€ This sentiment is common among the general public, who find runway outfitsĀ fun to watch but unrealistic for daily wear.

Conclusion: Fashion as a Spectacle or Practicality? šŸŽ­šŸ‘—

At the end of the day, runway fashionĀ is more about pushing creative boundariesĀ than providing everyday wear. The bold, dramatic outfits we see on celebrities like Rashmika MandannaĀ are designed to be show-stoppingĀ moments that create buzz and generate publicity for both the designer and the event. While they often influence high-street fashion, these outfits are primarily meant for special occasionsĀ and publicity stunts.

What do you think? Are these outfits something you’d like to see adapted for everyday wear, or are they better left for the runways and red carpets? Drop your thoughts in the comments! šŸ’¬šŸ‘—
