Manika Vishwakarma wore an Indian attire at the gala. The outfit was designed by Rajdeep Ranawat and included a lehenga paired with a choli. The look featured a dark brocade lehenga skirt and golden-silver mirror work choli. Both pieces showcased heavy work. The ensemble was predominantly in darker shades of black and navy blue, and the metallic mirror work added an elegant touch to her outfit. Over the set, she gracefully paired a stunning navy jacket, adorned with beautiful embroidery, featuring floral motifs and mirror work.

And as usual, no desi look is complete without accessories, and Manika brought her A-game at the gala with her styling choices, ticking all the traditional essentials: maang tika, jhumka, choker necklace and bangles. They were in gold shades, complementing her shimmery blouse well.
