At the star-studded Vogue World 2025: Hollywood event, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan made a highly memorable entrance. The occasion saw her wearing a custom creation by Indian couturier Manish Malhotra that beautifully melded vintage Hollywood glamour with rich South Asian detailing.
Her look captured the theme of the night—where cinema, couture and cross-cultural references collide.
The Look: Details Matter
Her ensemble featured several standout elements:
-
A sculpted corset-style bodice, hand-embroidered with rows of pearl beading and stones, off-shoulder neckline dipping into a U-shape.
-
A tea-length skirt crafted from archival gold brocade, incorporating metallic floral motifs reminiscent of a lehenga’s richness yet maintaining a Western silhouette.
-
Draped sleeves that fell off the shoulders in fluid arcs, paired with internal boning and exaggerated hips. A nod to mid-century couture architecture.
-
Styling completed with rhinestone-studded pumps, ear-clips by Cartier, a delicate nose ring and minimal rings. Finally the hair in a side-part and matte complexion to underline vintage opulence.
Why the Moment Resonates
There are several layers to why this appearance stands out:
-
Cultural fusion: By channeling classic Hollywood silhouettes (corset, off-shoulder, bustle references) through Indian fabrics and embroidery, Ramakrishnan and Malhotra created a cross-cultural moment.
-
Craft visibility: The use of pearl beading, gold brocade and veil work highlights Indian craftsmanship on a global red carpet.
-
Narrative of identity: Ramakrishnan, a Canadian actress of Indian-Sri Lankan descent, wearing such a look at an LA event sends a message about global identity, representation and heritage.
