Ananya Panday captivated everyone last night at the Rajadhiraaj: Love Life Leela event at NMACC’s Grand Theatre. She dazzled in a striking blue saree adorned with intricate floral patterns from the house of Torani. Styled by Tanya Ghavri, Panday’s ensemble was perfectly complemented by traditional jhumkas from Curio Cottage and a statement ring. Her makeup was flawlessly executed with dewy pink lips, highlighted cheeks, and a classic bindi, enhancing her ethereal look.
In contrast, Janhvi Kapoor made a bold statement in a vibrant red saree featuring a heavy broad zari border, paired with a contrasting green blouse. Her look was elevated with a stunning heavy choker necklace and matching earrings, all accentuated by a bindi.
Both actresses offered us inspiring looks for the upcoming festive season, each showcasing their unique sense of style and elegance.
