  "account": "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.",
