There are red-carpet moments, and then there are moments that make you stop mid-scroll. Shalini Passi delivered exactly that at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025 in Mumbai. Known for her refined taste and love for art-driven fashion, the patron turned the evening into a masterclass in statement dressing with a quirky clutch that had everyone talking.

For the star-studded night, Shalini slipped into a custom Jenny Packham creation, featuring a body-skimming white gown that was delicately dusted with tiny crystals. Adding drama without overpowering the look was a sheer, embellished cape cascading fluidly from her shoulders to the floor.
Bag that stole the show
What truly set her look apart, however, was her accessory choice. Shalini carried a show-stopping Judith Leiber Couture polar bear minaudière, instantly becoming the most talked-about detail of the evening. According to the brand's website, the silver-tone clutch is hand-sculpted and crystal-encrusted, featuring an adorable polar bear dressed in a top hat and bow tie. Equal parts luxury and playful art, the bag reportedly costs $5,495, which is around ₹499,754.

She further styled the look with dangling diamond earrings, a stack of diamond bracelets, a bold statement ring and glossy heels. Her beauty look stayed soft yet luminous with shimmering silver lids, flushed cheeks, a radiant glow and nude lips. Voluminous, side-parted open hair completed her effortlessly glamorous appearance.
A star-studded award show
The award show saw no shortage of style moments. Alia Bhatt dazzled in a rare 1993 Hervé Léger gown, while Ananya Panday brought golden glamour in an Elie Saab 2007 couture piece. Vicky Kaushal, Sanya Malhotra, Lauren Gottlieb, Shriya Saran and Zahaan Kapoor also made striking appearances, making it a night to remember for fashion lovers.
