Who doesn't want to dress up Miss Universe! But, not many get a chance to do so. Fashion designer is one such person who considers herself lucky that she got an opportunity to dress up the reigning Miss Universe Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu and for quite some time now. 


Speaking exclusively to Mid Day Online, Anjali Phougat (owner of 'Designer Dream Collection') said, “Harnaaz has worn my dresses on multiple occasions in different cities. Like she wore during her homecoming. I designed a beautiful mesmerising saree with pearl and crystal detailing. Then she went to the Philippines to judge Miss Philippines USA where I designed a gorgeous couture gown and she wore my jewellery and she wears it all the time for all her appearance like the For Menstrual equity event, for all the social causes she is supporting. Recently, she visited Priyanka Chopra's restaurant in New York and I happened to be in New York during the same time for the fashion week. She wore my beautiful earrings with a nude beige dress. Most of her New York fashion week appearances had something of mine. During Naeem Khan's shows on 7 runways, she wore a beautiful Neelam blue sapphire ring that was designed by my line.  She wore my diamond crystal earrings and ring to go with her dress and a lot of beautiful looks we curated together. I work very closely with her styling team and, in fact, I met her team during my fashion week, and we spoke about her upcoming events, about looks. I always get messages that Harnaaz loves my jewelry and truly admires designing. Recently, she appeared in the Miss USA pageant as a Jury member, I helped in arranging that couture gown for her look and we did a lot of back and forth arranging gloves, jewellery, bracelets, earrings and she ended up wearing my jewellery for that".

When asked about Harnaaz’s success story, she said, "She has accomplished great achievement. She is the pride of our country, just at the age of 21. She got this crown in India back after 21 years which is a huge accomplishment. And we all should look at the big picture and comment on her for bringing this crown back and representing India in such a great way on a global scale. So, I'm truly inspired by her success story. To be part of her journey is also commendable for me as a woman. I am so glad to hear great feedback about my work from her fashion team doing my bit and evolving with her and her journey, looking at her accomplishments so closely. Working with the Miss Universe fashion team on such prestigious events closely and learning from the styling team, I would say I am truly honoured.”

Speaking about Harnaaz’s style quotient,  Anjali said, "I feel she is very young. She just turned 22. So chic, effortless. Plus, she has her own style where she prefers to be more comfortable when she is appearing for big events especially when she is speaking for causes. She likes to stay comfortable and I'm truly with her on that. I feel, looking at her, her styles suit her persona where she wears jackets, blazers, pant suits, they look best on her, especially gowns. She can kill with any look. Lavender , violet, orange are some of her favourite colours and I get requests for those color dresses, saris and accessories. She wore my multi finger ring. I believe Sherri Hill lilac purple dress, pieces like that look best on her and she is the most beautiful girl in the universe! And when I say beautiful that does not mean she has the most beautiful face but she has what it takes to be on that platform, to own that crown, and stand for a bigger purpose and she can literally look beautiful in any look.”
