Styled by Meagan Concessio for an award ceremony, the "Dream Girl 2" star celebrated her success in a stunning cream couture pre-stitched chikankari saree designed by Tarun Tahiliani.
Panday's ensemble featured an off-shoulder blouse adorned with pearls, paired with a diamond choker, studs, and a solitary ring.
Completing the look, she wore cuffs. The combination of pearls and diamonds added a touch of sophistication and bling to her outfit, creating a perfect harmony.
For her hair and makeup, Ananya Panday opted for a classic approach with kohl-rimmed eyes, nude lips, and a sleek bun with a middle parting. This makeup choice not only complemented her ensemble but also prevented any clashes with her outfit.
The highlight of the outfit was undoubtedly the intricate Lucknowi Chikankari work, which made this saree ideal for the upcoming festive season.
The elaborate embroidery, particularly on the pallu draped over Panday's shoulder, showcased the craftsmanship of the artisans and the cultural significance of Indian couture. The cream color served as the perfect backdrop to highlight the rich embroidery, deeply rooted in history.
Pre-stitched sarees have gained immense popularity for their modern twist on the traditional pleated sarees.
They offer ease of wear and handling without the constant worry of it coming undone. The pleats in pre-stitched sarees also enhance the figure and suit all body types.
As a saree, it is suitable for various occasions and is incredibly versatile. It even allows for experimentation, such as replacing the blouse with a blazer or shirt.
The flexibility and fusion of modernity with tradition make pre-stitched sarees a must-have wardrobe staple for those seeking a blend of effortless glamour.
