So excited to be the Gen Z face of a brand that defined beauty for so many of us. Thank you Lakmē for making me a part of your family.”
The Gen Z face
Aneet Padda in the video embodied the Gen Z essence from head to toe. She wore a tank top with a scoop neckline, paired with light-wash denim jeans. Nailing Gen Z’s accessorising game to perfection, she chose layered chokers and chains with her signature hoops. Her makeup was the hero of the look, featuring full shimmery eyeshadow and glossy lips. The entire ensemble channelled classic Gen Z vibes, effortlessly capturing a bombshell energy with a laid-back, cool-girl charm.
Aneet said in the video, “Full glam or just a little bit of kajal, as long as I feel cute, that’s my vibe.” This encapsulates the experimental nature of Gen Z, who aren’t afraid to try new things as long as they pass the vibe check.
