In a today’s time, when everyone in the fashion world is trying to do their best to keep up with the trends, someone who is doing their own thing and killing the style game is Shalini Passi. The socialite, reality star, entrepreneur and art connoisseur wears her bold and eccentric personal style with utmost panache and everyone seems to love it. Passi shot to overnight fame after her appearance in the show Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives. In her latest look, Passi proved how powerful an accessory can be by as she styled Judith Leiber’s most quirky creations: the Union Jack-inspired bear-shaped clutch. We all know Leiber is known for her whimsical, statement-making handbags. And this bag that Passi wore has been designed to resemble a teddy bear but with a high-fashion twist. The Union Jack pattern which represents British culture, makes it a standout piece. Its charming nature is further amplified by its playful design. The bear’s face is featuring a miniature set of eyes and a precious stone nose. For her outfit, she is wearing a black dress with glittering details. It features a deep slit and intricate embellishments. The sequin-covered fabric catches the light in just the right way, giving it an edgy look. The showstopper here has to be the strategically placed butterfly embellishments on the straps and waist. This is adding a touch of playful femininity, which is also perfectly complementing the whimsy of the bear-shaped bag. This is not the first one Passi’s bag has stolen the show. At an Award function some time back, the reality star was, as always, dressed to impress in her J.W Anderson Gray Oversized Bow Maxi Dress. And, while her dress was definitely statement-worthy, it is her bag that officially stole the spotlight. For the unversed, Shalini Passi’s handbag collection is as iconic as the socialite herself. From aliens to birds, dogs and whatnot, her eccentric array of bags are always a delight to spot on the red carpet. And this time, she enlisted the help of Simone Rocha to deliver yet another masterpiece. Shalini’s handbag moment included a pearl duck bag from the label. The handbag featured a detachable pearl strap that can be worn as a crossbody or wristlet. The whimsical style’s pearlescent finish gives the bag an iridescent appear that is a hallmark of the brand. And nope, it certainly does not come cheap, retailing for a whopping Rs 66,800 on the official website.
