Due to its extreme extravagance, the wedding of Anant, the son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant has been making headlines worldwide. Throughout the months-long festivities, the pre-wedding bash has already been graced by celebrities and world leaders. This week, Justin Bieber made waves at the sangeet with a performance that has gone viral on the Internet (the singer was reportedly paid $10 million, or Dh36 million). In addition to the festivities, Mukesh and Nita Ambani arranged for 50 impoverished couples to get married in Navi Mumbai. Even though the lavishness of an Ambani wedding was to be expected, some A-list celebrities whose outfits have garnered praise online have been dressed by a Dubai couture. Pakistani designer Faraz Manan, who is based in the United Arab Emirates, is incredibly popular; international celebrities are frequently seen sporting the designer's stunning ensembles. These outfits are dreamy and elegant, combining traditional opulence with a modern twist. Consider Ranbir Kapoor's sherwani, which is entirely black. Manan tells City Times, "It was a signature Faraz Manan cut inspired by art deco geometry of overlapping arches." The brand's signature embroidery is evident in the timeless elegance of the gold and black Swarovskis adorning the band collar of his outfit.

However, Alia Bhatt, who was wearing an all-black lehenga, was spotted twinning with her husband. "Alia's outfit was a signature Faraz Manan silhouette in oriental art deco-inspired black and champagne gold bejewelled embellishment on black tulle." Manan is skilled at designing exquisite ensembles, particularly for noteworthy events. He dressed Pakistani actress Mahira Khan for her wedding the previous year. Mahira's ivory lehenga received a lot of praise for its ability to blend modern minimalism and luxury.

Along with being the face of multiple Manan collections, Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan has also collaborated closely with Manan.
