Manu Bhaker shoots for the stars during ramp debut
Olympic medalist shooter Manu Bhaker made a stunning runway debut on the second day of the Lakme Fashion Week X FDCI 2024.
Bhaker, who made history by winning two bronze medals at the Paris Olympics earlier this year, walked the ramp for clothing brand Marks & Spencer, which unveiled its Autumn Winter '24 collection.
Bhaker embodied the essence of the collection in a sharp monochrome faux leather ensemble. She wore a black high-waisted A-line leather-look midi skirt paired with a matching sleeveless top.
"I was nervous, but I gave myself a pep talk to stay calm and just walk. It was surreal, and I’m really happy to have walked the ramp for the first time in my life for Marks & Spencer," Bhaker told PTI.
The 22-year-old shooter from Haryana said the outfit perfectly matched her style, combining both comfort and elegance.
"This outfit today that I am wearing goes perfectly with my personality and how I like my clothes and fashion," she said.
For Bhaker, it's comfort first, style next.
