The deep garnet base – Manish Malhotra’s new bridal shade – served as a regal canvas for heavily floral and nature-inspired zardozi embroidery worked in gold and silver threads. Sequins, resham threads, beads, and cut dana added shimmer from every angle, while the dramatic scalloped hemline gave the lehenga a signature sculpted finish.
Her blouse featured a contrasting design language with geometric and linear embroidery, adding structure and modernity against the floral-heavy skirt. Draped over her shoulders was a sheer maroon dupatta delicately embroidered along the borders and scattered with floral vines.
Nora Fatehi’s accessories elevated the look into full bridal grandeur. She wore an opulent suite of emerald and diamond jewellery from Manish Malhotra Jewellery, including a striking emerald-laden choker, matching earrings, and a dazzling maang tikka. The centrepiece was the Aniyra Necklace, featuring over 200 carats of emeralds and diamonds, inspired by the arches and domes of India’s heritage sites. The mint-green gemstones provided a fresh, luminous contrast to the deep garnet lehenga, adding a layer of royal extravagance to the ensemble.
Her hair was styled in a sleek, centre-parted low bun, allowing the jewellery and embroidery to take centre stage.
Nora Fatehi’s makeup followed her signature glamorous palette – glowing skin, softly contoured cheeks, kohl-lined eyes, and glossy nude-pink lips.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Nora Fatehi recently featured in a dance number titled ‘Dilbar Ki Aankhon Ka’, which is a part of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s ‘Thamma’.
Nora was last seen in the Netflix show ‘The Royals’. It also starred Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi Pednekar, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Dino Morea, Milind Soman, Chunky Panday and Vihaan Samat. The show has been renewed for a second season despite receiving polarising reviews.
Before ‘The Royals’, Nora was seen in ‘Be Happy’ with Abhishek Bachchan. The movie, directed by Remo D'Souza, released on Amazon Prime Video in March. It also starred Inayat Verma and Nassar.
Nora has two films in the pipeline – Tamil film ‘Kanchana 4’ and Kannada film ‘KD - The Devil’.
