What makes a fashion show a stellar one? Of course, a hit Bollywood jodi as showstoppers! Manish Malhotra, the Bollywood maverick knows all the tricks and pulled off yet another one for his Manish Malhotra Couture Show 2018. The Manish Malhotra Couture Show 2018 that transpired in the city today at JW Mariott saw the much-loved jodi of Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif own the ramp as they sashayed together, looking every bit stunning. The feted fashion designer had taken to Instagram to announce Salman as his muse for 2018. While his choice of showstoppers is nothing less than dramatic, Manish was earlier quoted, “While they have established themselves as great superstars, they are both humble and exude a subtle elegance, which reflects in their fashion choices. Speaking of being opposites, while Katrina embodies the soft femininity and grace, Salman has always been a man of free will, with his rugged charm and elan.” The collection is titled “Zween” and features classic as well as contemporary Manish Malhotra signature shimmery, embellished ensembles for men as well as women. Inspired by Indo- Persian grandeur, the ensembles can be best described as glamour and elegance at its best!
With the buzz that surrounds their reunion for Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat – a period film that’s been riddled with controversy for the casting, this showstopping moment perfectly coincides with the recent announcement. Here is a closer look at Salman and Katrina’s drop dead gorgeous avatars from the show.
