Kriti presented Manish Malhotra’s The India Story: Inaya 2026 collection, and she was literally dripping in pearls. With Ramba Ho Ho Ho playing in the background, the actor instantly grabbed everyone’s attention as she made her way down the runway.

She wore a two-piece ensemble in a pristine white shade, featuring a delicate bralette with a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti-thin straps. The bralette was paired with a matching high-waisted maxi skirt that hugged her curves perfectly and featured a fishtail hemline, adding fluidity to her walk. The highlight of her outfit was the intricate pearl chain detailing that adorned the outfit from top to bottom, adding a touch of opulence and giving the look that extra oomph factor.

How she styled her look

She accessorised the monochrome ensemble with dramatic green emerald-studded statement earrings that extended to her shoulders, paired with stacked matching rings on her fingers, adding a striking contrast to her all-white look.

Her makeup featured smoky eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, mascara-coated lashes, defined brows, blushed cheeks, a luminous highlighter, and a nude glossy lipstick. With her glossy tresses styled in a neat middle-parted bun, Kriti looked absolutely glamorous.
