At the Lakmé Fashion Week held on March 29, 2025, Janhvi Kapoor may have taken center stage on the runway, but it was another model who unexpectedly captured the internet’s attention. Tamanna Katoch, who walked just behind the Bollywood actor, left viewers mesmerized with her poised presence and graceful stride. As clips from the event circulated online, admiration quickly poured in, and many began to wonder about the identity of the model who had quietly taken over social media conversations.
Tamanna Katoch is a professional model based in New Delhi. She completed her early education at Queen Mary’s School in Tis Hazari and went on to earn a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from Lingaya’s Lalita Devi Institute of Management and Sciences in 2018. With a strong academic background and a natural flair for fashion, Tamanna has been building her presence in the modeling world well before her recent viral moment.
Throughout her career, she has walked the runway for some of the biggest names in Indian fashion, including Manish Malhotra, Falguni Shane Peacock, Ankita Jain, and Sulakshna Monga. Her modeling credentials also extend to campaigns for top mobile phone brands and prominent fashion labels, reinforcing her position as a versatile and in-demand model.
On Instagram, Tamanna shares glimpses of her work and lifestyle with over 72.7K followers. Her bio, which reads “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” reflects the elegance and calm that she brings to both the runway and her online presence. She previously gained visibility through her participation in India’s Next Top Model Season 4, where she showcased her passion for fashion and her ability to adapt to different modeling challenges.
The buzz around her presence at Lakmé Fashion Week intensified when Tamanna posted a clip of her runway walk on April 1. The video quickly gained traction, with fans and celebrities alike praising her performance. Actor Mrunal Thakur commented, “Wow, you killed it, T :)”, while other fans filled the comments with messages such as “Let’s pretend there was no Janhvi” and “Your walk was on fire.” One user captured the sentiment perfectly with the remark, “Nobody saw Janhvi, we all saw you girl.”
Though Janhvi Kapoor may have been the showstopper by design, it was Tamanna Katoch’s understated charisma and magnetic runway presence that truly stole the moment, proving once again how unpredictable and exciting the world of fashion can be.
