Kriti Sanon’s connection with celebrity designer Manish Malhotra goes back many years. Earlier, for her sister Nupur Sanon’s wedding, Kriti and her entire family were seen wearing outfits designed by Manish Malhotra.

Now, Kriti has once again grabbed attention by walking as the showstopper for Manish Malhotra at Dubai Fashion Week 2026. The fashion week concluded on February 6, and Kriti’s runway walk and pictures have been going viral on social media since then.

Kriti Sanon’s Pearl Look Wins The Spotlight

For the ramp walk, Kriti wore a stunning white ensemble featuring a skirt, blouse, and a sheer dupatta. The highlight of her look was the heavy pearl detailing, which made the outfit look dramatic and elegant.

She completed her look with jewellery from Manish Malhotra’s collection, including diamond and emerald-studded earrings, bracelets, and a ring. With the background track “Ramba Ho Ho Ho” playing, Kriti’s showstopper walk became one of the most talked-about moments of the event.
