Here’s a look at five iconic Sabyasachi muses who have brought his magical world to life and inspired brides everywhere to do the same.

Aishwarya Rai has long been the dream muse for countless fashion designers, but her synergy with Sabyasachi couture stands in a league of its own. Every time the global icon steps out in one of his creations, it's nothing short of fashion magic. Aishwarya was among Sabyasachi’s earliest muses when he began making his mark in both the fashion and film industries. Her timeless grace and regal presence seamlessly complement his opulent, heritage-rich designs, creating a visual harmony that has resulted in some of the most memorable and awe-inspiring sartorial moments in Indian fashion history.

From walking as the show-opener at Sabyasachi’s 25th anniversary to being the muse for his collection releases several times, Deepika Padukone brought the ‘modernism’ tone to Sabyasachi. From donning more westernised pieces created by the designer, her fashion history has evolved with time, but her choices and relationship with the designer have remained the same. From her wedding outfits to red carpet looks, Deepika has worn some of the most ravishing outfits picked from Sabyasachi’s collection.

Rani Mukerji and Sabyasachi share a bond that runs far deeper than fashion. Their relationship goes beyond red carpet appearances and designer ensembles, it’s rooted in genuine friendship and trust. When they first met in Mumbai, Sabyasachi gifted Rani the very first piece of jewellery he ever designed: a pair of exquisite earrings, a gesture that left a lasting impression on the actress. Over the years, their connection has only grown stronger, with Rani choosing Sabyasachi to create her grand wedding trousseau. From memorable red carpet moments to heartfelt exchanges, Rani has been more like a sister to the designer than simply one of his celebrated muses.

Closing the third edition of PCJ Delhi Couture Week in 2012, Bollywood icon Sridevi graced the ramp for Sabyasachi in an ethereal white saree that turned every head in the room. The moment was deeply special for the designer, who openly expressed his admiration for the legendary actress. For Sabyasachi, it wasn’t just about fashion, it was about nostalgia and reverence. He had cherished memories with Sridevi and had also designed her wardrobe for the critically acclaimed film English Vinglish, making their collaboration a truly heartfelt one.
