Background

Sudha Reddy has attended major international fashion and cultural events in previous years, often wearing Indian designer pieces intended to highlight traditional craft. The 2026 Met Gala's theme, centered on art and artifice, provided context for elaborate, handcrafted fashion statements. Manish Malhotra is among India's most prominent couturiers, known for bridging Bollywood aesthetics with international red-carpet formats. Kalamkari work, which involves natural dyes and intricate hand-drawn or block-printed motifs, has historically been concentrated in regions of present-day Andhra Pradesh. Its appearance on a major Western fashion platform has periodically drawn attention to the broader market for Indian artisanal textiles.
