Diaries of a Working Woman

Pastel shades, sequin styles and contemporary bustiers have been Ananya Panday’s go-to for years. However, if you keep close tabs on the actor’s current wardrobe, you’ll figure out her inclination towards monochromes and a clear partiality to ivories and whites. For IIFA last year, Panday had a quintessential sari moment in an ivory sari by Manish Malhotra, handcrafted with high-octane sequins and subtle feathers. For another event, Panday chose a timeless moondust sari by Tarun Tahiliani that was embellished with tiny floating flowers, a hand embroidered thread work border and a Swarovski encrusted bustier. A week ago, for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding appearance, Panday opted for yet another timeless look that screamed sophistication and chicness. Villa Poppy Badge

Panday’s all white look consisted of tonal details, accentuated by subtle sequin adornments. The delicate lehenga was teamed with a full sleeved blouse that featured a plunging neckline, a mermaid-shell like embroidery and a backless design. Styled by Tanya Ghavri, the look was completed by a minimal net dupatta. For accessories, Panday added a maang-tika to her wavy, centre-parted hair, and kept the jewellery basic by simply adding a ring by Maya Sanghvi Jewels.

It’s effortless transition capability for a day to night look. Styled right, you can make it work for the pheras. Or spruce it up with heavy jewels for a cocktail night look.
