Malaika Arora's fashion choices are always a topic of conversation, and once again, she stunned at a photoshoot in Mumbai on Thursday. Known for her keen eye for style, the former VJ and reality TV star was seen in a dramatic black gown that effortlessly oozed old Hollywood glamour. Her look was complemented by beachy waves and glossy makeup, enhancing her elegant appearance.
For the photoshoot, Malaika wore a striking black gown from Eli The Label. The floor-sweeping dress featured a boat neckline, a ruched bodice, and long sleeves that added sophistication to the overall look. A built-in beaded belt cinched her waist, accentuating her figure, while the exaggerated shoulder pads added a bold and powerful flair to the gown. The thigh-high slit and open back brought an extra touch of sultriness to the ensemble. The gown is priced at ₹59,068, according to Bollywood Women’s Style.
Malaika's styling was perfectly executed. Her beachy waves cascaded down her back, offering a relaxed contrast to the dramatic gown. Her makeup, a shimmery bronze hue, beautifully complemented the glamorous nature of the dress. She further elevated the look with statement rings and chandelier earrings, bringing all the necessary sparkle and glamour to complete the outfit.

One of the standout features of Malaika's gown was the exaggerated shoulder pads, a nod to the current power shoulder trend that has been making a comeback. This trend, which was a staple of the '80s, is now seen in everything from oversized blazers to dresses. Malaika’s gown perfectly showcased this bold trend, proving how to wear power shoulders with elegance.
For those interested in embracing this trend in their own wardrobes, it’s important to strike the right balance. Power-shoulder blazers, coats, and dresses work best when paired with sleek skirts or pants. Accentuating the waist with a belt or fitted silhouette can help balance the top-heavy look. For a more subtle approach, adding shoulder pads to blazers or tops is an easy way to incorporate the trend into everyday wear.
Malaika Arora continues to prove herself as a true style icon. Whether it’s her bold fashion choices on the red carpet or her everyday looks, she knows how to captivate with her outfits. Her recent appearance in the dramatic black gown is just another example of her ability to deliver unforgettable fashion moment
