Mumbai: Lock Upp may have officially wrapped, but if there’s one thing from this season that isn’t going away anytime soon, it’s Riteish Deshmukh’s wardrobe. Week after week, the host turned hosting duties into something of a style masterclass, mixing sharp, old-school tailoring with just enough contemporary edge to keep every appearance feeling fresh. As fans say their goodbyes to the season, it felt only right to take one last walk through the looks that made sure Riteish left as much of a mark off screen as he did on it.
Rust Suit

Few things command a room quite like a well-cut double-breasted suit, and Riteish’s rust-toned version did exactly that. The earthy hue gave the structured silhouette a warmth that a standard navy or black could never match, and the little details — a brooch, sharp peaked lapels, a crisp white shirt underneath — pulled the whole thing together into something genuinely timeless. A pair of sleek sunglasses rounded it off. This wasn’t a loud look by any stretch, but it didn’t need to be. Understated sophistication, done right.
Neon Green Jacket

If there was one look this season that people simply could not stop talking about, it was this one. Riteish let a bright neon green jacket do all the talking, keeping everything else deliberately simple — black pants, barely-there accessories — so the jacket could take centre stage. It’s a tricky colour to pull off without tipping into costume territory, but the balance here was spot on. Bold, unapologetic, and easily one of the most memorable fashion moments of the entire season.
Brown Textured Jacket

This one was all about texture. Riteish stepped out in a distressed brown jacket, styled with matching separates, and let the rough, worn-in finish of the fabric do the heavy lifting. Paired with the earthy colour palette, it gave the whole outfit an edge that felt effortlessly cool rather than trying too hard — one of the more distinctive looks he wore all season.
Beige Jacket

Sometimes the simplest looks end up being the most memorable, and this beige zip-up jacket with its subtle patterned detailing was proof of that. Styled with black trousers and dark sunglasses, it had a clean, put-together feel that didn’t rely on anything flashy to make its point — just genuinely good styling from top to bottom.
Horse Motif

An all-black ensemble is always a safe bet, but Riteish elevated this one with an unexpected touch — an eye-catching horse motif embroidered across the outfit. It became the immediate focal point of the look, adding a burst of personality without tipping the outfit out of its otherwise sophisticated register. A small detail that did a lot of work.
Black Suit With Chains

For something with a bit more attitude, Riteish went with a black double-breasted suit layered with metal chains draped across the chest. It was a bolder choice — eye-catching without tipping into excess — and the chains gave the whole look an almost armour-like quality that felt right at home on a show built around confrontation and drama.
Lime Green Jacket

Earthy tones took over again in this look, with a lime green overshirt paired against chocolate brown trousers and a neutral inner layer. It’s an unexpected colour combination on paper, but the palette worked together beautifully, striking that sweet spot between casual and polished that’s harder to nail than it looks.
Brown Leather Jacket

Riteish closed out his style run with a modern twist on classic dressing — a rich brown leather jacket layered over a crisp white shirt and a matching white tie, finished off with well-worn blue denim. The mix of formal and casual elements gave the whole outfit a fresh, easy energy, proving once again that he knows exactly how to bend the rules of traditional dressing without breaking them.
As Lock Upp signs off for the season, Riteish Deshmukh leaves behind more than just his share of memorable hosting moments. His wardrobe throughout the show was versatile, sharp, and often quietly experimental — timeless and current all at once. If there was one clear winner operating entirely outside the game itself, it was Riteish Deshmukh’s fashion sense.
