Bollywood superstar Salman Khan made a rare and electrifying return to the fashion runway on October 14, 2024, turning heads as the ultimate showstopper at designer Vikram Phadnis' grand 35th anniversary celebration in Mumbai. The event, themed "Vintage India," featured over 100 models parading Phadnis' exquisite creations blending tradition with modernity, but all eyes were glued to the "Sikandar" actor who embodied festive elegance like no other.

Dressed in a stunning black embroidered sherwani-pyjama ensemble from Phadnis' Ananta collection, Salman exuded royal charisma. The outfit included a fitted full-sleeved sherwani layered with a long, matching jacket in deep onyx black, paired seamlessly with loose Pathani salwar pants for effortless movement. Signature touches of gold, maroon, and fuchsia pink floral embroidery graced the shoulders, chest, and sleeves, adding a pop of opulent color against the monochromatic base. Accessorized minimally to let the attire shine, Salman's confident stride and megawatt smile amplified the glamour, evoking Diwali vibes ahead of the festival season.

This appearance marks one of Salman's infrequent ramp walks, reminding fans of his timeless style influence. Fashion critics praised the look for its perfect fusion of classic Indian craftsmanship and contemporary tailoring, with the embroidery highlighting Phadnis' expertise in handwoven details. Social media exploded with clips going viral, amassing millions of views within hours, as users hailed it as "Bhai's ethnic boss mode activated."

In 2018, he shared the stage with Katrina Kaif for Manish Malhotra's show promoting "Bharat." There, he donned a sharp Pathani kurta-salwar with an embellished jacket featuring golden embroidery on the neckline and chest, accented by red collar lining and baggy Patiala pants. Another standout was his 2015 walkthrough at an IIM campus for "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" alongside Sonam Kapoor, where he opted for a simple khadi kurta-pyjama with a bandi vest, pocket square, and a floral-patterned shawl in green, gold, and red draped casually.

At 58, Salman continues to dominate both silver screen and style scenes, with "Sikandar" slated for Eid 2025 release. Vikram Phadnis, celebrating 35 years in fashion, expressed gratitude on Instagram, calling Salman "the perfect muse." The event also spotlighted emerging trends like sustainable fabrics and vintage revival, drawing celebs from Bollywood and beyond. If this is a sign, fans are buzzing for more such power-packed fashion cameos from the Dabangg Khan!
