Manish Malhotra At The Met Gala 2025: An Ode To Indian Craftsmanship With Four Looks
Last Updated: While Manish Malhotra turned heads with his Met Gala 2025 debut, he also got everyone talking with how Coco Jones, Rihanna, and Natasha Poonawalla wore his creations. In a historic and head-turning debut, Manish Malhotra took centre stage at the 2025 Met Gala. The ace designer redefined the global fashion narrative with unapologetic glamour and Indian craftsmanship. He also became the first Indian designer to showcase not one but four dazzling ensembles at fashion's most prestigious event. From regal couture rooted in heritage to celebrity moments dripping in pearls and rubies, his presence marked a cultural crescendo that was both overdue and unforgettable. Let's take a look at the four Manish Malhotra looks that became the focal point at the 2025 Met Gala. Manish Malhotra Ditching convention, Manish Malhotra owned the blue carpet at the Met Gala as he stepped into the spotlight in a sherwani cape. The cape was sculptural, sculpted, and subversive. With his take on Inverness Dandy meeting Indian couture, the look was all about hand embroidery, glass beadwork, and a commanding silhouette. He accessorised his look with a cluster of brooches from his High Jewellery line. Each piece shone like a punctuation mark at the neckline, worn with conviction and continuity. He complemented these exquisite heirlooms with collar pins and cufflinks. With jewels like rubies, diamonds, and South Sea pearls, Manish left a mark on the blue carpet. Coco Jones Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and actress Coco Jones chose a Manish Malhotra ensemble for her Met Gala debut. Inspired by the rebellious spirit of the 1930s zoot suit, her ensemble featured a tailored satin blouse, pearl-encrusted trousers, and a sweeping cape that was hand-embroidered over six months. Crafted from laser-cut organza and heirloom French lace, the cape shimmered with over 2,00,000 Swarovski crystals and pearls. She completed her look with a crown jewel necklace from the designer's jewellery line. The statement piece came with a striking 20.05 carat Tanzanite centrepiece, surrounded by a harmonious composition of over 47.3 carats of Tanzanites and over 47.6 carats of diamonds. Natasha Poonawalla View this post on Instagram A post shared by MANISH MALHOTRA (@manishmalhotraworld) Natasha made a commanding statement at the Met Gala 2025 in custom Manish Malhotra couture.

Draped above it all: a sharply tailored black Gara jacket with bold shoulders, lined in imperial purple. She added drama by adding a sculptural lace cravat by Atelier Biser to her look.

Natasha Poonawalla at Met Gala 2025: A Couture Manifesto of Power, Heritage, and High Art
Last Updated: Met gala 2025 Red carpet: Natasha Poonawalla redefined Met Gala elegance in Manish Malhotra couture, merging Indian heritage with avant-garde precision. Met Gala Red carpet 2025: In one of the most arresting moments of the 2025 Met Gala, Natasha Poonawalla arrived like a vision sculpted from legacy and imagination—her look a resounding statement of cultural power and couture precision. Dressed in a custom Manish Malhotra ensemble, Poonawalla redefined what it means to channel ancestral opulence through a contemporary lens, aligning seamlessly with this year's theme: Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which celebrates the aesthetics, resistance, and individuality rooted in Black dandyism. Styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania and Lakshmi Lehr, Poonawalla's ensemble was nothing short of a wearable epic. At its heart: a corseted, sculptural silhouette that fused traditional Indian Gara embroidery with the structured grandeur of Western tailoring. The look featured a reengineered fishtail skirt crafted from two antique Gara saris—one over a century old—painstakingly restored from Manish Malhotra's archives. Its hand-embroidered surface unfurled like a tapestry of silken threads, each motif carrying generational wisdom and artisanal precision. Anchoring the ensemble was a black Gara jacket, sharply tailored with bold shoulders and lined in imperial purple—a color historically tied to mysticism and monarchy. Embroidered using the rare ektaar technique, in which a single thread weaves an unbroken design, the jacket told a story of continuity and quiet resistance. Layered beneath was a vintage French lace bralette, scalloped with pearls, and a corset-cummerbund that echoed the restraint and flair central to dandyism. The pièce de résistance, however, was a theatrical lace cravat crafted by Atelier Biser—a ruff collar that framed her face like a Renaissance portrait, adding a note of poetic drama. A single oversized emerald ring on her finger punctuated the look with an unmistakable air of majesty. With sleek hair pulled into a tight bun and makeup evoking porcelain clarity, flushed cheeks, and a commanding eye, Poonawalla exuded controlled magnificence. Manish Malhotra described the ensemble as 'a fusion of armour, artistry, and ancestry," celebrating the rich lineage of Indian couture while embracing the radical elegance of Black dandyism. In his words, Natasha was 'The Empress of Indian Fashion"—a title well earned. Beyond the fabric and form, what made Natasha Poonawalla's appearance truly powerful was its layered symbolism. It was not merely an outfit, but a dialogue—between East and West, past and present, restraint and excess. In reframing the codes of dandyism through Indian craftsmanship and Parsi heritage, Poonawalla didn't just interpret the theme—she transcended it. Her presence on the Met steps this year stands as a testament to how fashion, when wielded with intellect and intent, can serve as both mirror and manifesto. First Published: May 06, 2025, 06:38 IST
