Bollywood's Gen-Z fame Ananya Panday sashayed down the runway as a showstopper in a striking silver and blue outfit from the designer's newest collection. The 26-year-old actress donned a bold silver bralette intricately designed with chain details and finely crafted embellishments.
To complement the commanding silver bralette, Ananya wore high-waisted, wide-legged blue trousers embellished with delicate silver embroidery, zari work, and shimmering accents.
Ananya's accessories played a crucial role in tying the look together. She adorned her wrists with stacks of metallic bangles and bracelets, enhancing the metallic theme.
Her makeup was equally on point, featuring shimmering eyeshadow, dramatic kohl-rimmed eyes, a luminous highlighter, blushed cheeks and glossy nude lipstick. Ananya's sleek bun further rounded off her show-stopping look, allowing the ensemble to shine as the hero of the fashion gala.
