Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee may have designed all of Anushka Sharma’s and most of Virat Kohli’s wedding outfits but at the couple’s starry Mumbai reception on Tuesday, he was not the only designer who stole the show with his svelte and sparkly creations.
Making a strong showing was designer Manish Malhotra, who though was absent from the event, dressed atleast 11 celebrities for the grand wedding celebrations.
One of the most well-recognised names in the Indian fashion industry with an almost unparalleled knack for dressing celebrities, Malhotra dressed the most covetable looks of the night from actors Aishwarya Rai and Katrina Kaif to filmmaker Karan Johar and actor Sidharth Malhotra. Lace-up details, sheer fabrics with all kinds of embellishment and corseted waists dominated his designs.
Katrina Kaif wore an embellished crop choli and powder blue skirt with a cascading trail. Her sister Isabelle Kaif sported an ivory embellished choli and baby pink cascading skirt.
Aishwarya looked ethereal in a handcrafted lehenga set.
Aditi Rao Hydari showed off her one-of-a-kind fashion sense in an on-trend Banarasi handloom lehenga, intricately woven in metallic yarns and teamed with a satin velvet royal blue off-shoulder corset fit blouse.
Sridevi stunned in a gorgeous blue and black velvet sari.
Kirti Sanon was the epitome of elegance in an ivory thread and pearl embroidered sari with a sequined off-shoulder blouse by Malhotra.
Vaani Kapoor donned a soft peach tulle sari with delicate roses handcrafted in ivory pearl sequins and transparent shine sequins paired with an off-shoulder pearl and tassel off-shoulder blouse.
Cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s wife Sakshi chose a blush pink lehenga with golden border and minimal embellishments.
Director Karan Johar wore a black and white sherwani, while Sidharth Malhotra was dapper in a Prussian blue bandhgala.
