The Gateway of India in Mumbai provided a breathtaking backdrop for one of the most spectacular fashion shows of the year. On March 30th, luxury powerhouse Dior held its pre-fall 2023 show at this historic site, and it was truly a sight to behold.

The fashion show, under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri, showcased breathtaking backdrops of the city’s historic buildings and skyline, providing an ideal setting for Dior’s latest collection of clothing and accessories. These exquisite pieces were crafted in partnership with Chanakya, a Mumbai-based school that empowers women with the art of handmade creations, spearheaded by the talented Karishma Swali.

Her choice of black heels and a matching handbag complemented her outfit perfectly, adding to the overall appeal. Michelle’s minimal makeup look highlighted her natural beauty, while her messy tresses styled in a ponytail with a few strands left open, framed her face beautifully.

Overall, Michelle’s sense of style was on point, and she effortlessly stole the show.

“This marks the first time an international fashion powerhouse, Dior, has showcased their collection at the iconic Gateway of India.
