She sets trends. She turns heads. She dares to break the mould. Ain’t no one like a Manish Malhotra bride!
Kiara Advani will soon bless our Instagram feeds with her bridal pictures in a Manish Malhotra ensemble. I am anticipating drama, glamm, and lots of glitter! Until Kiara posts her glorious pictures, how about we take a look at some of the most iconic MM brides over the years? Scroll down:
Bhavana Pandey: The Very First Manish Malhotra Bride
Bhavana Pandey was his first-ever celeb bride and the designer ensured everyone got talking. The year was 1998. Forget unusual silhouettes, brides didn’t even dare to think beyond the usual reds, pinks, and maroons back then. Pulling a classic MM, the couturier dressed her in a powder blue Indo-Western outfit for the reception. Bhavana looked radiant and the rest as they say is history!
Karisma Kapoor: The Glitzy Bride
In 2003, Karisma Kapoor made headlines with her onion pink lehenga richly embellished with silver sequins and zardozi. It was a welcome departure from the regular red-gold aesthetic. The designer raised the stakes by swapping the blouse with a short kurti. Even two decades later, I’ll happily wear this outfit for my wedding!
Kareena Kapoor: The Nawabi Bride
Playing with colours in a bridal look is a tricky game and MM has mastered it. The designer dressed Kareena Kapoor for her wedding reception in a baby pink kurta and styled it with a hot pink sharara. He added a hint of contrast with turquoise piping on the hot pink dupatta and created a masterpiece!
Preity Zinta: The Radiant Red Bride
With Manish Malhotra, even a red lehenga is not basic. Case in point—Preity Zinta’s bridal ensemble! Back then, he was experimenting with handloom silks and chose a rich Banarasi brocade for the actress’s lehenga. He elevated it with a maroon border featuring hand-embroidered motifs inspired by the traditional baraat. The designer kept the dupatta and choli simple to match the busy lehenga. Preity looked like a dream and her scalloped dupatta continues to inspire bridal looks!
Urmila Matondkar: The Bride Who Made Red & Pink A Trend
Urmila got married in 2016, hardly a month after Preity. Still in his red bridal wear phase, MM dressed her in an intricate Banarasi brocade lehenga with his signature embroidery on the bottom. To make it unique, he gave Urmila’s blouse elbow-length sleeves and finished the look with a baby pink dupatta. The combination is still going strong in the bridal fashion scene!
Gauahar Khan: The Dramatic Bride
2020 was the year Manish Malhotra broke the internet with Roohaniyat—his grandest bridal collection to date. The drama reflected in Gauahar Khan’s reception look. Her luxe velvet lehenga went beautifully with the gold blouse and trailing beige veil. She looked like a queen!
Ankita Lokhande: The Golden Bride
Ankita Lokhande dressed like a golden dream in her opulent MM fit. Both the heavy lehenga and dupatta featured the designer’s signature tassel embroidery and the actress carried a long trailing veil for some extra drama. The look was in theme with her big fat wedding!
Kanika Kapoor: The Dreamy Bride
Kanika Kapoor looked like a vision in her summery pink MM lehenga! She wore a heavy pink skirt tastefully embellished with a mix of zardozi, aari, and sequins. The tiny hand-embroidered motifs added to the dreamy appeal and MM styled it with two lightweight dupattas. It was the subtle infusion of blue and yellow in the look that had my heart!
Pretty sure that Kiara Advani is all set to make it to the list of these iconic Manish Malhotra brides. Can she please posts the pics now!
