Bollywood ushered in the festivals of Diwali with aplomb. The starry Diwali party that fashion designer Manish Malhotra hosted at his Mumbai residence on October 22, 2024, had an enviable guest list comprising Alia Bhatt, Shahid Kapoor, Kajol, Kriti Sanon, Kiara Advani, Rekha, Karan Johar, Shilpa Shetty, and Varun Dhawan, among others. The real attractions of the night, however, were the Gen-Z celebrities.
Ananya Panday came in dripping in elegance, clad in a white transparent sari, along with her best friend Orry. She complemented the classic look with a bold necklace and a maang tikka and completed it with a bright smile for the cameras. After getting the group pictures clicked, Ananya showed off her style game once she began soloing for a set of pictures.
Suhana Khan nailed the red carpet look in a stunning red saree with a strapless, sequined blouse. With her tresses swept stylishly to the side and light makeup, Suhana was every bit a heady mix of old-schooled glamour and modern-day magic. Suhana Khan will soon debut on-screen in King, where she is seen opposite her dad, Shah Rukh Khan.
Janhvi Kapoor isn’t far behind and raised many eyebrows as she strutted in with her dramatic blue metallic saree. She looked every bit glamorous and posed confidently for the photographers. After starring opposite Jr. NTR in Devara, Janhvi will next feature in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. The film is slated to hit the screen on April 18, 2025.
The daughter of Raveena Tandon, Rasha Thadani, looked every bit stunning in that dazzling silver lehenga. Not wearing any accessory, she saves the no-accessorized look for her heavily embellished outfit as she makes quite an impression.
Salman Khan’s niece, Alizeh Agnihotri, too, stopped traffic in her pink and metallic silver sari paired with a strapless blouse, rounding off an evening full of fashion-forward choices from Bollywood’s next generation. The celebration was full of festive spirit and reflected the change in fashion as the industry is evolving.
