Hyderabad-born model Bhavitha Mandava, 25, created a global splash by opening Chanel’s Métiers d’Art 2026 show in New York, marking one of the biggest milestones of her modelling journey. Now pursuing a master’s degree in assistive technology at NYU, Bhavitha was discovered on a New York subway just two weeks before the show. She had earlier walked for Bottega Veneta under creative director Matthieu Blazy. A heartfelt video of her parents’ emotional reaction to her achievement has since gone viral, celebrating her rise from a student to a breakout star on the international fashion runway.
