Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal spotlight chikankari at Manish Malhotra’s 15th Mijwan showcase
Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal graced Manish Malhotra's 15th Mijwan showcase in Mumbai, donning ivory chikankari ensembles that paid homage to traditional Indian craftsmanship. The Alpha actor chose a cropped bralette and embroidered pallu, balancing the sculpted silhouette against a heavy diamond and pearl choker, while maintaining a modern, non-traditional look.
Alia's dewy glow and hair in a sleek bun accentuated the design. Her counterpart, Chhaava actor Vicky Kaushal, donned a white kurta layered with a velvet midnight blue jacket, complemented by intricate chikankari work in white and a simple diamond neckpiece. The event, organized by Manish Malhotra and the Mijwan Welfare Society, aims to preserve chikankari, an age-old embroidery craft, and provide livelihood opportunities for women in neighboring villages.
Over a decade, the designer has collaborated with Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, Ranbir Kapoor, and Hrithik Roshan at this event, which has evolved into a celebration of Indian artistry and philanthropy.
