Ananya Panday recently dazzled in an elegant ethnic outfit at her cousin Deeya Shroff’s engagement ceremony. But her pick had a special, nostalgic twist. Instead of selecting a traditional sari or gown, Ananya chose to honour late designer Rohit Bal by wearing an exquisite aqua-blue suit he designed for her mother, Bhavna Pandey, more than two decades ago.

Sharing pictures on Instagram, she wrote: “briDEEEEEE 🥹❤️ @deeyashroff obsessed with my sister getting married but also not ready to let go of her yet but also very excited to have a brother now!! @mihirmadhvani 🤫 also wearing my mom’s @rohitbalofficial from 21 years ago! Gudda forever.” Her fans were delighted, and the sentimental outfit choice quickly became a highlight of the event.

The ensemble featured a halter-neck kurta in a serene aqua-blue shade, adorned with intricate golden embroidery and delicate motifs that added an air of luxury. The shimmering zari work on the kurta gave it a timeless elegance, and the matching churidar pants and dupatta, with gold-embellished borders draped over one shoulder, completed the look with finesse.

This outfit, designed by the legendary couturier holds deep significance, especially in light of his recent passing. Rohit Bal, who was known for his magnificent embroidery and fusion of modern and traditional styles, passed away on November 1. He was 63 years old. Notably, his final collection was showcased at Lakme Fashion Week, where Ananya had walked the runway as his showstopper, marking an emotional moment in fashion history.

Ananya kept her accessories minimal to let the outfit shine. She opted for a striking pair of golden statement earrings that perfectly complemented the intricate embroidery of the kurta. Her makeup featured a nude eyeshadow base, winged eyeliner, and mascara-coated lashes, along with defined brows, a hint of blush, and a touch of highlighter. A nude lipstick completed her look, adding a soft glow that radiated elegance. Ananya’s hair, styled in loose waves with a middle part, framed her face beautifully, while a delicate bindi provided the finishing touch to her graceful attire.
