Brazilian Supermodel Adriana Lima dazzles at Manish Malhotra’s collection launch
Dubai Fashion Week witnessed a breathtaking moment as Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima made a showstopping entry at the launch of ace Indian designer Manish Malhotra's World Collection: Dubai.
The runway legend stunned audiences in a heavily embellished gown adorned with Malhotra's signature pearls, sequins, and intricate embroidery.
According to Indian media, Lima's ensemble, though opulent, could have used an extra touch of sparkle. However, she made up for it with a statement necklace, matching earrings, and a bracelet, adding to the glamour.
Complementing her look, the supermodel opted for dramatic makeup and a sleek, wet, back-brushed hairstyle, exuding elegance and confidence.
Vogue reports highlighted Malhotra's inspiration for the collection, which paid tribute to the historical pearl diving tradition in the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf. His designs featured exquisite abayas, capes, and jackets, all enriched with pearls, sequins, and intricate embroidery. Additionally, cat-shaped diamond brooches adorned select pieces, enhancing their allure.
The runway showcased a series of stunning creations, each embodying Malhotra’s signature craftsmanship.
Among the standout pieces was a heavily sequinned golden-hued abaya designed to appeal to local audiences. Another model stunned in a black ensemble layered with a shrug featuring pearl embellishments on the shoulders. Malhotra's seamless fusion of sequins and pearls brought a fresh perspective to Middle Eastern fashion, further solidifying his reputation as a master couturier.
Beyond Adriana Lima, another notable presence on the runway was supermodel Valery Kaufman Varsano. She captivated onlookers in a halter-neck, flowy gown adorned with gradient sequin designs. Keeping her accessories minimal, she opted for just a pair of stud earrings, allowing her look to shine effortlessly. Her stylist perfected her appearance with a glamorous base makeup look, complemented by a side-parted, wet hairdo.
