Add as a preferred source on Google

Having celebrity show-stoppers is a huge trend in the fashion industry these days. Almost all fashion designers end their shows buy having a Bollywood celebrity walk the ramp wearing their clothes. The concept of the celebrity show-stopper works for the shutter-bugs as well. People love to see the pictures of Bollywood celebrities even at fashion events.

Moreover, celebrities are fashion conscious themselves. In fact, celebrities inspire fashion trends and styles in many cases. Sometimes the celebrities are friends with the fashion designers. Manish Malhotra is a classic example. Priyanka Chopra has walked the ramp many times for Manhish Malhotra. And now even her cute cousin Parineeti Chopra is a favourite celebrity show-stopper for Manish Malhotra.

To put it simply, the best outfit in the collection is reserved for the celebrity show-stopper. He or she is called the show stopper because the show ends with their appearance. After the entire collection has been displayed, the celebrity show-stopper walks the ramp with the designer and throws flying kisses at the cameras. This is the standard set up of any fashion show in India.
