Dubai witnessed a night of glamour and tradition as Nora Fatehi took center stage at Manish Malhotra’s showcase of his Bridal Couture Collection 2025/26, titled INAYA. The actress walked the ramp in a breathtaking garnet velvet lehenga, a fresh bridal hue that redefined elegance and luxury.
The lehenga, crafted over 1,400 hours, was adorned with zardozi embroidery, resham threads, sequins, beads, and cut-dana, creating a shimmer that cascaded across the outfit. Its scalloped border and richly embroidered blouse with geometric patterns added a modern contrast to the traditional design.
Nora’s look was completed with a maang tikka and an opulent jewellery suite from Manish Malhotra Jewellery, featuring over 200 carats of emeralds and diamonds. The highlight was the Anirya Necklace, inspired by the domes and arches of Indian heritage altars—an exquisite bridge between past and present.
Her appearance was hailed as one of the most talked-about moments of the evening, reinforcing her image as a global fashion icon and solidifying Malhotra’s position as the torchbearer of Indian bridal couture.
Nora Fatehi, who has carved a niche for herself as one of Bollywood’s most versatile performers, will next be seen in Remo D’Souza’s upcoming dance-based film, alongside Varun Dhawan. She is also making waves internationally, with a special appearance in a Hollywood action thriller slated for release in early 2026. Recently, Nora was also confirmed as a judge on the upcoming season of a popular dance reality show, further cementing her position as a multi-talented entertainer across industries.
