Ananya Panday Shows How To Go Big On Drama As A Minimalist This Season

Ananya Panday recently joined the ranks of the stars who descended upon the red carpet to attend the screening of Umrao Jaan. The unofficial dress code of the evening was old-school, regal glamour and the actress clearly got the memo.

In an ivory anarkali by Rohit Bal, Ananya Panday paid a chic tribute to Rekha’s iconic character while serving a look that could serve as inspiration for minimalists who are looking to make a big statement this wedding season.

The actress looked resplendent in an anarkali set from the designer’s Kaynaat collection, complete with a demure sweetheart neckline and monotone silk thread embroidery on its surface. 

Stylist Priyanka Kapadia added a pair of statement chandbalis from the Carnation collection by the House of Suneeta Shekhawat. The earrings have been handcrafted in 22k gold and set with diamond polki and coloured stones. 

The look is a masterclass in styling a dramatic silhouette in a way that makes a statement without going OTT. Our tip for acing the look? Opt for fabrics with tonal threadwork for an elevated yet beautifully textured look, and keep your accessories and glam minimal. 

Take a cue from Ananya Panday’s team for how she went with a naturally flushed look (thanks to a skilled pink blush application) and added a high-wattage shine with highlighter and rose gold metallic eyeshadow on her lids. Her hair was pulled back in a low bun and adorned with fresh red roses.

Here’s how you can try the look yourself this wedding season...
