Although the Ambani wedding is officially over (maybe not!), there’s still a lot to look forward to when it comes to their outfits. While we’ve seen the fabulous works of Indian designers like Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi and Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla on the family and celebrity guests, today we’ll turn our attention to the equally breathtaking creations of Pakistani and UAE-based designers, whose stunning outfits also deserve a spotlight.
Faraz Manan
Known as ‘Pakistan’s answer to India’s Manish Malhotra’, Faraz Manan is the mastermind behind some of the best guest looks at the Ambani-Merchant wedding festivities. Manan is a UAE-based designer whose unique aesthetic has been showcased through the outfits worn by A-list celebrities like Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Shloka Ambani and AP Dhillon.
“Alia is one of my favourite female actresses, Ranbir is one of my favourite male actors. I am really close to the family, Neetu Singh and everyone. I really like Ranbir’s style. He has been wearing my clothes for a while now,” the Pakistani designer said in an interview with Hello Arabia.
He added, “For Shloka, I kept some pink pieces which were inspired by art deco. A fusion look which worked perfectly and people appreciated it for the sangeet and it stood out.”
Faraz is also the creator of some of the baraat looks for the day; Akash Ambani, AP Dhillon and Hardik Pandya all wore Faraz Manan outfits, which were built around his signature colours – gold and powder pink.
The genius behind Kiara Advani’s pink corset dress, which was worn with a sari-inspired drape, her distinctive embroidery with silver zardosi, Swarovski crystals and pearl embellishments truly made her outfit one that will go down in the history of wedding dresses.
Iqbal Hussain
Another Pakistani designer who was spotted on celebrities like Sara Ali Khan was Iqbal Hussain. Sara wore two of his outfits, an olive anarkali for the Shubh Vivaah ceremony and a golden lehenga for the Shubh Ashirwad ceremony. Netizens did not fail to notice that the star refused to give credit to the designer despite wearing his outfits at two different events.
Despite the critical acclaim and centre stage reception of her outfits at the Ambani wedding, Husain is focused on building her brand around Pakistani women. “It is a sign of progress; these artists and stylists are working internationally, and it is a very humbling experience for me to see them moving forward. But I am not in a hurry. My main focus is to mark my brand presence and [make] “I have a strong customer base in Pakistan. It’s for Pakistani women by Pakistani artisans,” she said in an interview with Khaleej Times.
mohsin naveed ranjha
Finally, Pakistani designer Mohsin Navid Ranjha’s creations were seen on Jay Shetty’s wife Radhi Devlukia. Radhi opted for a beautiful green lehenga paired with a sleeveless halter blouse and a matching green dupatta that had gold embroidery, tassels and sequin work on it.
So, while the Ambani-Merchant wedding highlighted the grandeur of Indian fashion, it also showcased the remarkable talent of Pakistani designers – we’re looking at you!
