The ankle-length structured dress featured a sculpted corseted silhouette with a halter neckline. It also featured intricate hand embroidery in gold taban, an exclusive and heavy-embroidery sequin style created by Manish.
Isha paired the look with gold-embellished Ferragamo heels, statement diamond drop earrings, and a ring. For makeup, she opted for winged eyeliner, golden eyeshadow, mascara-coated lashes, defined brows, softly flushed cheeks, and a glossy reddish-brown lip.

Anna attended the show in a mustard-gold silk midi dress featuring a bold floral print with purple flowers and teal-green leaves. The long-sleeved ensemble featured a high collar, cinched waist, and flowing skirt. She paired it with a chunky jewel necklace adorned with deep purple and metallic stones.
Staying true to her signature style, Anna completed the look with her trademark blonde bob, blunt bangs, and oversized black sunglasses.
Manish Malhotra’s collection at Paris Haute Couture Week
Manish’s collection at Paris Haute Couture Week, Maa, is a tribute to his late mother, Sudarshan Malhotra, who died on March 19.
“Her passing has transformed memory into reflection, and reflection into creation,” the designer reflected in his official show notes. He also shared how his mother encouraged his early fascination with cinema and textiles, ANI reported.
Inspired by his childhood memories, Manish’s collection features distinctive colours of the sarees his mother wore in the 1970s. The collection featured a myriad of Indian hand-embroidery techniques, including pearls, zardori, resham, and sequins.
