One of India's top designers gave a shout out to Korea's CL for wearing one of his designs in her "Hello Bitches" promotional pictures.
Manish Arora, the man known as the "the John Galliano of India" according to many outlets, took to social media accounts on Saturday to share a picture of CL wearing one of his creations. Arora described the picture of the Korean star as "amazing."
In the picture, CL is seen floating over water while wearing a modern take on the traditional Indian sari in hues of pink, orange, and gold.
The picture on CL's official Instagram has over 180,000 likes and over 2,000 comments.
It is one of eight outfits that CL donned in a brightly colored, high fashion pictorial to promote her newest street single, "Hello Bitches."
People commenting on Arora's Facebook page complimented the outfit and CL's photoshop. Some criticized the fact that CL was photographed while wearing a bindi, which has religious roots in Hindu culture.
According to Destination K-Pop India, CL has worn other Arora pieces in the past.
CL released her bi-lingual English-Korean single "Hello Bitches" on Saturday ahead of her upcoming album, which is reportedly set to be released next spring.
