Who would have thought that Ranbir Kapoor has a cheeky side to him, seeing how decorous he is at all times? He turned up at Arjun Kapoor’s birthday bash on Saturday night in a shirt with print of… a naked man! Yep, you read that right.

The shirt is from the ace Belgian designer Dries Van Noten’s Spring/Summer’15 collection, the one which was inspired by the seminal ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, a figure of sensual, almost animalistic eroticism. A line drawing of a nude male dancer cropped up in several pieces, with one of them being the silk shirt worn by Ranbir.

One of the “Antwerp Six”, a revolutionary Belgian design collective of the 1980s, Dries continues to be a highly regarded fashion designer, celebrated for his intelligent designs and unique fashion sensibility. But, it is still a brand for those in-the-know, and definitely not a household name like Gucci, Dior, Armani, Prada and so on — yet. I don’t remember a Dries sighting in Bollywood before this. Just. So. Impressed.
