Akshay Kumar resembled an Indian prince charming in an ivory sherwani featuring a bandhgala jacket, adorned with intricate silk thread embroidery all over. Padded shoulders, side slits and full sleeves added structure to his sharp, sleek and crisp look. Ornate gold buttons at the centre offered regal elegance with some subtle contrast. He teamed the tailored fit with a matching kurta underneath and a pair of straight-fit, flared ethnic trousers in a similar shade of white.
Juttis embroidered with silver embellishments, coupled with black-tinted sunglasses, sealed Akshay Kumar's ethnic outing, boasting nothing but grandeur.

Previous Occassions On Which Akshay Ruled The Ramp
Akshay Kumar's last ramp walk prior to this year was in 2018. The Housefull 5 actor walked for designer Lalit Dalmia at the Tech Fashion Tour Season 4. The event, held at the JW Marriott in Mumbai, celebrated the fusion of technology and fashion, incorporating cutting-edge designs and futuristic fabrics.
Akshay Kumar leaned on a deep black, long, structured and velvety overcoat that came with high collars and sharp shoulders, adorned with gothic elements in threadwork. The coat plunged into an asymmetrical hemline with ruffled layers at the bottom, delivering a touch of whimsy. Matching black trousers completed his avatar.
Before this, Akshay Kumar took on the ramp at India Luxury Style Week, Men's Edition in Mumbai and Bengaluru in 2015.
The Bollywood star's debut appearance was at Lakme Fashion Week in 2009, where he owned the ramp for Levi's in a Tarun Tahiliani number.
With every step, Akshay Kumar proves he is not just a showstopper but a style icon maharaja in his own right.

Border 2 is helmed by director Anurag Singh and is set to hit screens on January 23, 2026 read more In a defining move that reflects a deep commitment to storytelling, the makers of the highly anticipated war epic Border 2 have finalized a fresh, promising talent to star opposite Varun Dhawan. Coming from an Army family, actress Medha Rana has been cast as the female lead in the film, marking a pivotal moment in her career and bringing a new energy to the cinematic chapter of one of India's most iconic war dramas. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Border 2 is helmed by director Anurag Singh and is set to hit screens on January 23, 2026. While the film continues the legacy of Border (1997), known for its ensemble of celebrated actors and patriotic fervor, it is carving its own path by blending scale with sincerity, both in its narrative and its casting choices. Speaking about the decision to cast Medha, producer Bhushan Kumar shares, 'It was imperative for us to find someone who could naturally embody the dialect, spirit, and rooted essence of the region. Medha impressed the team not just with her raw talent, but with her effortless command over the regional dialect and her emotional range as an actor. We truly believe she will bring depth and realism to the role.' Producer Nidhi Dutta adds, 'Border 2 is not just a film; it's an emotion. Every choice we've made, from the director to the cast, is driven by our vision to tell a story that feels honest, powerful, and relevant. Medha Rana opposite actor Varun Dhawan will bring freshness and sincerity that aligns beautifully with the tone of the film.' This decision also reflects a conscious move away from formulaic casting, opting instead for talent that aligns with the demands of the character. In an industry where familiarity often drives choices, the casting of Medha Rana signals a progressive shift, one that places integrity of character over name value. Set against the backdrop of valour, sacrifice, and national pride, Border 2 promises to be an emotional yet high-octane cinematic journey. With Varun Dhawan stepping into the rugged terrain of an epic war drama, and now with the addition of a fresh new face, Border 2 is shaping up to be a project that balances scale with substance. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD More details on Medha Rana are expected to be revealed soon, but for now, it's clear that Border 2 is ready to break boundaries, not just on the battlefield, but in Bollywood's approach to casting too. Backed by a powerful production team including Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, and directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series, in association with J.P. Dutta's J.P. Films. The film continues the legacy of honoring the heroism and indomitable spirit of Indian soldiers, taking audiences on a spectacular journey of patriotism, courage, and sacrifice. Gear up for this monumental saga of patriotism and courage, as Border 2 storms into cinemas on January 23, 2026.
