Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon returned to the runway for designer Manish Malhotra at Dubai Fashion Week 2026, stepping in once again as the designer’s showstopper and bringing the curtains down on the fashion week in memorable style.
From high-profile red-carpet appearances to intimate family celebrations, Manish Malhotra has been a constant presence in Kriti Sanon’s fashion journey. Kriti Sanon’s runway look was understated yet striking. With the song Ramba Ho Ho Ho playing in the background, she walked out in a white skirt and blouse, paired with a sheer dupatta that moved fluidly with every step.
The real showstopper, however, was the intricate pearl detailing that appeared to cascade across the outfit, creating a look that felt both dramatic and graceful. True to Manish Malhotra’s signature style, the ensemble balanced classic glamor with modern restraint.
The look was completed with statement jewellery from Manish Malhotra’s collection. Diamond and emerald-studded earrings, bracelets and a ring added richness and contrast to the monochrome palette, elevating the outfit without overpowering it.
Titled The Indian Story: Inaya 2026, Malhotra's collection celebrated Indian craftsmanship through brocades, shimmering sequins, and intricately embellished silhouettes designed for festive occasions and red-carpet moments. Jewellery played a central role throughout, with diamond and emerald pieces featuring prominently.
