The fashion landscape mourns the loss of a legend as Italian designer Valentino Garavani, the visionary behind one of the world’s most revered luxury houses, passed away at the age of 93 in Rome. Celebrated across the globe as the “emperor” of fashion, Valentino’s influence extended far beyond runways to global red carpets and cultural milestones.
Though Valentino retired in 2008, his eponymous label, Maison Valentino, has continued to captivate celebrities worldwide—including a growing roster of Indian stars who have made unforgettable sartorial statements in his creations.
Indian Stars Shine in Valentino
Indian celebrities have embraced the brand’s timeless elegance at some of fashion’s most prestigious stages:
-
Priyanka Chopra Jonas turned heads at the Met Gala 2023, wearing a striking monochrome Valentino gown that married classic glamour with contemporary flair.
-
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan delivered a standout fashion moment at the Cannes Film Festival 2022 in a bold hot-pink Valentino pantsuit—an ode to the label’s vibrant signature color often dubbed “Valentino pink”.
-
Kareena Kapoor Khan looked elegant in an archival Spring/Summer 1993 skirt-and-blazer set designed by Valentino himself at a 2025 event, blending vintage couture with modern poise.
-
Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and Shanaya Kapoor have repeatedly been spotted in Valentino ensembles at high-profile events, showcasing the brand’s broad appeal across generations of Indian style icons.
A Historic Couture Milestone in India
Perhaps one of the most culturally iconic moments came when Isha Ambani wore a custom golden lehenga by Maison Valentino at her wedding reception in Mumbai. This intricate design marked the first—and to date only—lehenga crafted by the luxury house, representing a seamless fusion of Indian bridal tradition and Italian couture craftsmanship.
Valentino officially entered the Indian retail market in 2022 with a flagship store at Delhi’s DLF Emporio, yet Indian fashion’s long-standing love affair with the maison dates back much further.
Legacy of Elegance
Valentino’s creations have adorned some of the most celebrated women in history—from Hollywood legends to global trendsetters—and the label’s resonance in India is a testament to his universal vision of elegance. While the fashion world remembers the designer’s extraordinary legacy, Indian celebrities continue to honor his aesthetic through unforgettable fashion moments.
