When art meets couture on an international stage, you get a moment like this.
Philanthropist and style icon Shalini Passi made a majestic appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2025, draped in a bespoke Manish Malhotra creation that blended fashion with cultural storytelling. Her strapless navy blue gown from the designer’s Longitude 77 collection paid tribute to Indian artistry and was inspired by the works of celebrated painter Paresh Maity.
The gown featured rich prints and hand-embellished details—an ode to India’s diverse heritage. With grace, elegance, and unapologetic glamour, Shalini Passi not only brought the spotlight to Indian fashion but also reminded the world of the timeless beauty of culture-driven couture.
