it was the dawn of the new decade—the 1990s—and Bollywood was ready for change. And Manish Malhotra rode that wave as a game-changing costume designer.
His bold approach reshaped Indian cinema’s fashion landscape. He reinvented bridalwear in unusual colours, and saris with modern drapes; plus, with Rangeela, he brought in a bold, new aesthetic.
As the designer completes three decades in the industry, it’s clear that his influence on both the Indian girl and international red carpets has been indelible. From dressing celebrities such as Demi Moore, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Michael Jackson, to designing bridalwear for actors Kareena Kapoor Khan, Preity Zinta, Urmila Matondkar, and Karisma Kapoor, Malhotra is always in the news. It’s only fitting, then, to revisit some of his most-celebrated bridal and festive looks across his illustrious career. The designer shares his memories for each movie, and shows you how to style each look for yourself.
