Manish Malhotra’s love letter to Mumbai at Met Gala 2026
For his second Met appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 4, Manish chose a classic Indian bandhgala, but elevated it into something far more conceptual. Layered with a dramatic architectural cape, the ensemble was a tribute to Mumbai, the city that shaped his creative journey.
Crafted over 960 hours by over 50 of artisans across Delhi and Mumbai, the look one that goes down in the fashion history. Rendered in soft ivory and white tones, it featured intricate surface work that blended traditional Indian techniques with a modern, sculptural edge.
