According to Ritu Kumar’s Instagram post, the pure cotton outfit with intricate hand embroidery took nearly 2,000 hours, using an age-old technique of crumpling and folding the gota by hand to create mango motifs. Moreover, Gokhru gota which are basically ribbons with metal strip wefts and fibre warps that are pinched at regular intervals to create a specific aesthetic were extensively used throughout her attire.

Swatches and inspirations from the 19th century were taken and revived to make this Anarkali. (Source: Ritu Kumar HQ/Instagram)

Athiya accessorised her look with a maang tikka, statement earrings and golden juttis which enhanced her outfit. With a touch of old-world charm, Athiya’s attire left all her fans awestruck. For her makeup, she used blush pink eyeshadow, pink lipstick and kohl to define her eyes, assisted by her makeup artist, Simran Gidwani. She styled her hair in a half-open hairdo adorned with jasmine flowers with the help of hairstylist Reena Dutta.
