Alessandra Ambrosio Stuns in Saree and Lehenga for Manish Malhotra at India Couture Week 2025

Bollywood’s go-to designer Manish Malhotra made waves at India Couture Week 2025 by bringing Brazilian supermodel and former Victoria’s Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio to the Indian runway for the first time.

The international icon turned showstopper for Malhotra, donning two dazzling outfits—a silver saree-inspired ensemble and a pearl-laden couture lehenga.

Ambrosio’s Runway Looks
In her first appearance, Alessandra wore a shimmering silver outfit featuring a plunging neckline blouse, mermaid-cut skirt, and a dupatta adorned with crystal embellishments. Accessorised with a diamond necklace, earrings, rings, and a statement haath phool, the look seamlessly merged Indian glamour with international flair.

Her second look featured a strapless bustier blouse paired with an A-line lehenga drenched in pearls and crystals. Styled with a ruby-diamond choker, matching earrings, and a maang tika, the ensemble was topped off with a sleek hair bun and glowing makeup.

Bollywood Meets the Runway
The show also featured a nostalgic showcase of iconic Bollywood outfits designed by Malhotra, including Priyanka Chopra’s Desi Girl saree and Kajol’s green ensemble from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

Social media buzzed with praise for the collaboration. Fashion page Diet Sabya declared, “The Bolly girlies are in danger,” while fans lauded Ambrosio’s poise and presence. “This is what a supermodel does,” one user wrote. Another added, “The way she’s serving the lewk and selling the dress is impeccable.”
