Gigi Hadid Wows In Custom Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla Ensemble
The 27-year-old catwalk model's hand-embellished outfit for the highly-glamorous star-studded event consisted of a South Indian temple jewelry cropped-sleeve jacket blouse embellished with gold beaded tassels, crystals and sequins, an ivory and gold-trimmed chikankari skirt and chikankari sari drape.
The brand's Instagram said it was "exquisitely hand-embroidered by female artisans at Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla atelier in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh," and according to Gigi's Instagram, took a whole year to make! Wow! We don’t doubt that for a moment! After looking at the pure intricacy, this isn’t surprising at all, and we think every single second was well spent because the results are breathtaking!

The Guest in Residence founder finished off her look, which was styled by Elizabeth Sulcer and draped by Dolly Jain, with Aquazzura 'Tiara' heels. For jewelry, she went for stacked gold bangles and statement stud earrings, which were very visible thanks to Gigi's non-distracting low bun, which had the ends flicked out to make it a little more modern and edgy. For makeup, which was done by Patrick Ta, she went for a barely-there look, which although looked minimal, didn’t stop her from glowing on the red carpet!
