Indian fashion designer Manish Malhotra drew global attention with a grand showcase at the close of the Dubai Fashion Week recently.

On 6 February 2025, Supermodel Adriana Lima and Valery Kaufman walked the ramp presenting Malhotra’s first-ever showcase of the World Collection - Dubai. The divas looked stunning in the designer’s blingtastic ensembles, part of the "Dubai Bling" appeal.

Manish Malhotra has become a Bollywood iconic designer who is also known his wedding fashion label. Malhotra made a grand entry into the Dubai fashion scene in December 2023 with an opulent flagship store at the Dubai Mall. The 2025 show marks the first anniversary of his first international store.

Malhotra presented an array of silhouettes inspired by Dubai’s aesthetic. Think gowns, capes, long jackets, and abayas in gleaming fabrics adorned with heavy embellishments.

Supermodel Lima was a Victoria's Secret Angel from 1999 to 2018, looked stunning in an embellished strapless gown with a corset bodice. Her black outfit sparkled with glitzy crystals and pearls. This was accentuated by sparkling bracelets, a classy black-and-diamond choker, and matching earrings.

Kaufman was mesmerizing in a sheer, sparkly gown. Her ensemble featured an eggshell-like design crafted from blingy adornments. Topping that was a white fur stole and diamond jewels from Manish Malhotra’s eponymous high-end jewellery line.
