The designer duo explain the outfit: ‘Shahana wears a dramatic, piece de resistance, magnificently hand- embroidered Swarovski crystal blouse from the brand new The Raj collection, paired with a frothy peche champagne chamoise satin stylised draped sari. The effect is staggering.

‘She is like a magnum of peach Cristal champagne come to life at the premiere of her film, SANTOSH, being screened in the Un Certain Regard category at the Cannes Film Festival 2024.

‘The designer duo present, The Heavenly Hipster-As Haute As it gets in her honour.
