Manika Vishwakarma, crowned Miss Universe India 2025 on 18 August 2025, made a bold style statement at the ceremony in Bangkok by arriving in a show-stopping ruby-red mermaid gown. The dress, crafted by Pristine Luxury, featured a deep plunging neckline, fully embellished bodice with cascading beads and crystals that transitioned into a lighter tone at the hem, off-shoulder cap sleeves with dangling crystal fringe, and a dramatic voluminous red tulle train sweeping behind as she walked the red carpet. She kept accessories minimal, just long silver earrings and her crown, and paired the look with smoky winged eyeliner, glossy red lips, and soft curls cascading over her shoulders. The pageant, set for 21 November 2025 in Thailand, has been marked by controversy after a backstage exchange triggered headlines, but Manika’s glam appearance firmly put her in the spotlight as India’s representative on the global stage.
