Cynosure of all eyes

Hyderabad: Adviser to US President and his daughter, Ivanka Trump was an image of resplendence here on Tuesday in the exclusively-designed Neeta Lulla outfit. Ivanka, who arrived in the city amid tight security attended the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) and later in the night, a dinner at Taj Falaknuma Palace that was hosted by the government.

Sharing details of the ensemble, ace Indian designer Neeta Lulla, who was commissioned to design the outfit said, "As stylish and elegant as Ivanka is, her ensemble too had to be intricate and exquisite. We are honoured to present an exclusive bespoke collectable inspired from the Vrindavan Symphony, which is our tribute to the celebrated Radha-Krishna fable."

Lulla, a national award-winning designer, ensured Indian elements were used in all their glory in the outfit for Ivanka Trump. "It has a motif of the traditional musical instrument sitar, which has its roots in classical music and is inspired by the Vrindavan Gardens where the impeccable portrayal of the divine romance was performed as 'Raas Leela'. We have created a signature ensemble using the traditional sari restyled into an elegant gown.”
"Dawned in ivory and golden silk threads, this gown has a 'sitar' on the trail made of finely woven silk from the historic city of Varanasi," she added.

The designer, who has earlier dressed Steven Seagal, Tyra Banks, The Chainsmokers and DJ KSHMR in her creations, said Ivanka Trump's attire is made of fused fabrics evolving from "deep-rooted cultures in India with a state-of-the-art silhouette to create a tailored ensemble".
