For Vogue’s pre-Met Gala party, Isha Ambani wore a custom Manish Malhotra x Swadesh look that championed Indian craftsmanship. The shape of the gown gave the outfit a more fashion-forward edge, while the use of 26 handcrafted textile borders from across the country—including Banarasi brocade, Parsi gara, Paithani weaving and Kanjeevaram silk—brought together textile traditions from across the country in a way that still felt modern. Styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania with jewelled hair ornaments by Outhouse Jewellery woven into a long braid, the look had a regal energy that naturally fits a big fashion-week party.
Instead of fully leaning into the naked dress trend, Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s Elie Saab look, with a transparent body-hugging body suit underneath the sheer long dress, kept things sharper and more controlled. Styled with sleek hair and pointed pumps, the overall mood felt elegant rather than trend-driven.
