From loving cinema and costume as a wide-eyed dreamer to standing on the steps of THE Met Gala…life really does come full circle in the most unexpected ways. This moment wasn’t just about fashion for me. It was about storytelling. About taking the legacy of Raja Ravi Varma and letting it live again… this time, not on canvas, but in motion. To representing India and our culture, our art and our storytelling on the global ‘steps’. Thirty years of friendship and collaboration with Manish Malhotra and still creating firsts together - so grateful to you and your team for this core memory. And the biggest thank you to the team : Wearing : Manish Malhotra World (@manishmalhotraworld ) / Manish Malhotra (@manishmalhotra05 ) Eyewear : Anna-Karin Karlsson (@annakarinkarlssonofficial ) from R.

Every wedding I’ve loved has had one thing in common - it felt personal. Not borrowed, not recreated, not trend-led. Don’t follow trends. Start one. More on this in The Manyavar Shaadi Show. Watch all 6 episodes now live on Manyavar’s YouTube channel. #TheManyavarShaadiShow #ad

From shooting two of his most iconic films to making a grand entrance on the Met steps, New York City has long been filmmaker Karan Johar’s (@karanjohar ) ultimate playground. Right before he hit the #MetGala carpet in his Manish Malhotra (@manishmalhotraworld ) ensemble, styled by Eka Lakhani (@ekalakhani ) he joined Vogue for a tour of the city he loves, in this segment of #OnTheRoad. Watch the full video at the link in bio.

From the silver screen to the steps of Met Gala 2026—filmmaker Karan Johar (@karanjohar )’s fashion has always been cinematic. In conversation with Bazaar India, Johar reflects on his admiration for fashion, films, and storytelling as he reflects on the iconic looks that shaped his cinema and the evolution of his own style. All of which culminates in his Met Gala debut, blurring the lines between costume, craft, and couture, and bringing the theme ‘costume art’ to life in a custom Manish Malhotra (@manishmalhotra05 ) ensemble. Full video now on Bazaar India’s YouTube. #BazaarIndia #HarpersBazaarIndia #MetGala2026

Framed In Eternity Inspired by the art of Raja Ravi Varma. Raja Ravi Varma felt right because his work does something I’ve always tried to do in cinema. He painted feelings. And who better than my oldest partner in crime & fashion to help me bring this to life other than Manish Malhotra. To bring our Indian culture to the global stage with the vision of couture and gratitude woven together, is an art form in itself which he has mastered. You made me feel like a canvas for your art, thank you!
