“Fashion and beauty liberate me, they are so therapeutic,” says Bhumi Pednekar behind the scenes at Vogue India’s Forces of Fashion 2023

Bhumi Pednekar channeled her signature glam for the Forces of Fashion gala, comprising of a smoky winged eyeliner and a nude pink matte lip. The Thank You For Coming actress was dressed in a slip-style black Khaite dress with a black skinny scarf. The minimal look was accompanied by this soft smoky glam look, like the perfect complement. The look definitely falls in a roster of iconic looks sported by Bhumi, from the IT-girl beauty moments she delivered at the Toronto International Film Festival to the look she donned at Anita Dongre’s ‘Rewild’23’ fashion show.

In an exclusive Bhumi Pednekar Gets Ready for Forces Of Fashion 2023, the actor revealed to Vogue India, that she wanted a soft and neutral makeup palette, all in pursuit of an effortlessly romantic vibe for the occasion. Her makeup ensemble comprised of a neutral-toned eyeshadow base topped with a golden shimmer emphasised at the inner corner of her eyes. Her eyes were accentuated with a slight smoky wing. The rest of the minimal makeup was curated on a seamless matte base and was made up of a nude pink lip, a slight wash of blush, a hint of highlighter, and contour to intensify her features.

Pednekar went on to express the empowering nature of the getting-ready process, highlighting that it’s not just about the glam but also about the mood she’s in. As for her stunning mane, the hairstyle was an amalgamation of messy and chic. Her hair was parted in the middle and swept back messily with some texture spray. The rest of the hair was pulled back into a low knot. A few stray hairs were left to frame her face, in line with her effortless vibe. To match her look she also opted for a black French manicure with almond-shaped nails, a great touch to complete the look.
