Maitreyi gets a degree

Shout out to our beloved Toronto girly Maitreyi Ramakrishnan who is having a time! And for you sticklers out there – yes, she’s from Mississauga… which is the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). Maitreyi posted last week that she’d graduated from York University, majoring in Human Rights and Equity Studies. This is exactly the kind of mind we need more of in Hollywood. 

Also, she covers the November 2025 issue of Vogue India in a custom Manish Malhotra dress with a front corset looking SO beautiful. One of my favourite parts of the interview is when she’s talking about not following TikTok food trends or social media eating recommendations and instead prefers local spots that don’t make it onto Instagram. 

Here’s the part where I screamed: 

“Nah, it needs to feel like a bit of a health hazard,” she chuckles. 

IYKYK. 

My other favourite part is when she says she had to finish a paper on her laptop while in the SUV on the way to the Vanity Fair Oscar party, LOL. 

Maitreyi is done with school, for now, but she is still busy. There are at least two projects due out next year, and she’s about to start filming another soon, including Best of the Best, about a college Bollywood dance team. Speaking of Bollywood, that was the vibe of her dress last night at Vogue World Hollywood. This is another Manish Malhotra custom, exquisitely detailed, both Bollywood and Bridgerton, one of my favourite looks of the night.
