Valery posted the video on social media to show how excited she was to walk the streets in her unconventional bottoms. The video showed her wearing a simple t-shirt along with a lungi, which she styled like a long skirt.
"Wearing lungi in London," she captioned the video which opened showing her draping a blue-and-brown-coloured lungi around her waist. She dressed herself in the middle of the road as if no one was watching. Alongside her desi piece of clothing, she also ensured to add some more ethnic touch to herself. She wore a bindi, and subtle ornaments to set the fashion statement right.
