"old Hollywood glamour meets Indian textile heritage.”
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan brought elegance and heritage to the red carpet at Vogue World 2025: Hollywood.
The Never Have I Ever actress wore a Manish Malhotra creation that blended Indian textile artistry with classic Hollywood glamour.
Sharing pictures on Instagram, Manish’s team described:
“Actor Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (@maitreyiramakrishnan) steps into our archival gold brocade tea-length skirt with metallic floral motifs, a pearl-encrusted bejewelled corset and a hand-embroidered drape styled as a hood.
“Fashion and film effortlessly coalesce in the silhouette where old Hollywood glamour meets Indian textile heritage.”
Styled by Delhi-based Devanshi Tuli, the look combined intricate craftsmanship with a timeless silhouette.
The gold brocade skirt featured delicate metallic floral motifs that caught the light with each movement.
Its structured volume offered a sense of vintage grace, while the corset added strength and intricacy through layers of pearls and gemstones.
Every element was deliberate, from the sculpted fit of the bodice to the refined curve of the neckline.
The hand-embroidered drape styled as a hood introduced an element of quiet drama, framed Maitreyi’s face in soft folds and nodded to both traditional Indian veils and the allure of golden-era film stars.
The overall effect was cinematic yet deeply rooted in craftsmanship, a celebration of design that bridges cultures.
Her styling elevated the ensemble without distraction. The hair, neatly swept into a low bun with a soft side part, balanced structure with softness.
This choice kept attention on the detailed corset while reinforcing the mood of old-world sophistication.
Maitreyi’s makeup followed the same restrained palette. Warm bronze tones, defined eyes, and a satin nude lip complemented the gold hues of the outfit.
Accessories were kept minimal. Pearl studs echoed the corset’s embellishment, while delicate rings added refinement.
Nude pointed heels extended the line of the silhouette and maintained visual continuity across the look.
On Instagram, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan wrote:
“Thank you @voguemagazine @vogueindia for the best show full of energy and passion for cinema.”
Hosted in Los Angeles, Vogue World: Hollywood was an immersive celebration of cinema, couture and celebrity.
The event transformed the city into a living film set, with designers, actors and artists sharing the spotlight.
For Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, her glamorous appearance at the event comes shortly after she graced the November 2025 cover of Vogue India, where she opened up about her Tamil roots and her mentors.
On the acting front, the 23-year-old recently voiced Beesha in Netflix’s The Twits.
She will star in Best of the Best, which centres on the competitive world of American college dance teams.
