Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal are the vision at the 2026 Mijwan Fashion Show.
The two popular Indian stars, who are set to appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming highly anticipated film Love & War, attended one of the country's most successful couture shows hosted by Manish Malhotra and Shabana Azmi.
On Saturday, September 26th, Bhatt and Vicky closed out the runway with their full of glamourous and royal look at the runway.
They both stunned the audience as showstoppers of the show, which was taken over by Shabana Azmi after the passing of her dad and Urdu poet, Kaifi Azmi, in 2002, in intricate ethnic attire.
Alia Bhatt stunned at 2026 Mijwan Fashion Week
Bhatt, 33, looked beautiful in a traditional Indian look, tremendously crafted and fused by the Indian fashion designer, Manish Malhotra, with modern styling.
The dazzling lace saree and lehenga-inspired silhouette, rather than a traditional lehenga.
Notably, the outfit was crafted out of delicate sheer net and intricate lace fabric. It served as a canvas for exquisite, handcrafted Lucknowi Chikankari embroidery, completed with silver-toned embellishments, sequins, and a matching sheer veil.
The embroidery was entirely handcrafted by rural women artisans from the Mijwan Welfare Society, honouring the hardworking hands at the runway.
How much does Alia Bhatt's traditional lehenga cost?
Because of its high-profile cause and embroidery, this outfit is a one-of-a-kind custom haute couture piece made specifically for the runway; an official retail price tag has not been publicly released.
However, standard handcrafted Mijwan Chikankari collections on the Manish Malhotra Official Store generally retail between $10,000 and $12,000.
Vicky Kaushal's high budgeted outfit
Vicky Kaushal, who is set to share screen with Alia after Raazi and her husband Ranbir Kapoor in Love & War, walked the ramp in a custom midnight-blue velvet bandhgala jacket layered over an ivory white kurta and matching flared trousers.
The statement split bandhgala jacket was crafted from premium velvet. It was heavily embellished with white floral Chikankari hand-embroidery, tonal thread-work, sequins, and Swarovski crystal/bead work.
It is pertinent to note that the exact price for this specific outfit has not been publicly disclosed by Manish Malhotra. Because it is a custom, handcrafted haute couture piece created for a charity fundraiser to showcase the work of rural artisans, it is not a mass-market retail product.
But the expected Manish Malhotra’s men collection and embroidered sherwanis and heavy velvet couture jackets typically range anywhere from $3,500 to $8,500.
Why does Mijwan Fashion Show celebrate?
Well, the 2026 Mijwan Welfare Society Fashion Show was a charity fundraiser held on September 26th at the Taj Lands End in Mumbai, celebrating 15 years of the Mijwan Welfare Society.
