The world premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King dazzled attendees with a star-studded red carpet event, where supermodel and television host Heidi Klum captured the spotlight in a stunning creation by renowned designer Manish Malhotra.
Heidi’s breathtaking appearance in the Waterfall Pearl Gown, showcased in an Instagram story by Manish, was hailed as “glorious.” This exquisite gown, part of the World Collection Dubai, is adorned with over 100,000 pearls and crystals, exemplifying Malhotra’s exceptional craftsmanship. The multi-layered, halter-style gown features a backless design with an intricately embellished base, showcasing the designer’s signature attention to detail.
The gown’s unique cascading pearl tassels create the illusion of a waterfall, each meticulously hand-sewn to enhance the ensemble’s striking visual impact. Sharing a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram, Heidi tagged Manish Malhotra, along with her hairstylist Lorenzo Martin and makeup artist Sabrina Bedrani, highlighting the collaborative effort behind her stunning look.
Pearls have long been a hallmark of Manish Malhotra’s design ethos, celebrated in various couture pieces. The designer’s creations have been sported by numerous Bollywood stars, including Janhvi Kapoor, who dazzled in a lehenga blouse adorned with cascading pearls, and Kriti Sanon, who turned heads in a 3D pearl-encrusted flower blouse featuring elegant tassel details.
Khushi Kapoor shone in a short white dress with cascading pearl tassels, while Shanaya Kapoor’s vintage-inspired flapper necklace blouse, paired with an ivory saree embellished with one lakh pearls, added a touch of classic glamour. Sara Ali Khan also made a statement in a festive blouse adorned with pearls and diamonds, showcasing the enduring allure of Malhotra’s designs in the world of fashion.
