Aditi Rao Hydari has a knack for making understated fashion look striking. The actor, who is currently in the spotlight following the release of her film ‘Parivarik Manuranjan’ opposite Pankaj Tripathi, recently shared a series of photographs from a beauty awards event in Mumbai. For the occasion, she turned to designer Anita Dongre for an ivory ensemble that puts intricate craftsmanship at the centre of the look.

The actor wore the designer's Meadowfern Embroidered Co-ord Set, priced at Rs 1.75 lakh. With its delicate botanical motifs, soft colour palette and relaxed silhouette, the ensemble offers a contemporary take on occasionwear. It also makes a case for choosing an embroidered co-ord over more conventional festive options such as lehengas and dresses.

According to Anita Dongre's website, the outfit is crafted in silk and features coloured resham embroidery with sequins. The design draws inspiration from blooms and ferns, bringing together traditional embroidery and a modern silhouette.

The two-piece ensemble features a sleeveless, slightly flared tunic paired with matching shorts. Its ivory base provides a delicate backdrop for the colourful floral embroidery, which appears in shades of blush pink, dusty rose, yellow, brown and sage green.

Flowers, slender stems and leafy motifs are scattered across the tunic, creating a garden-inspired pattern. The subtle sequin embellishments add a soft sheen without taking away from the embroidery. Attention to detail is also visible along the neckline, armholes and hemline, giving the piece a neatly finished appearance.

The matching shorts lend the ensemble a relaxed, youthful feel. Together, the pieces strike a balance between the elegance of traditional Indian craftsmanship and the ease of contemporary co-ord dressing.

Aditi kept the styling relatively minimal, allowing the embroidered ensemble to take centre stage. She accessorised with delicate drop earrings and strappy metallic gold heels featuring slim ankle straps. The warm metallic finish complemented the colours in the floral detailing.

Her beauty look followed the same understated approach. Softly defined eyes, a natural-toned lip and loose, centre-parted waves completed the appearance without competing with the outfit.

The ensemble could work as inspiration for summer soirées, intimate celebrations, festive lunches and destination wedding events. It also highlights how traditional Indian embroidery can find a place in modern occasionwear without relying on conventional festive silhouettes.

Aditi Rao Hydari on choosing films

Away from fashion, Aditi recently spoke about her approach to choosing projects in an interview with PTI. The actor said her decisions are guided by instinct, the filmmaker and the quality of the writing.

“I do things because I want to do them. If my heart says do it, then I do it. Also, for me the choice is based on the director and the writing. And I really work hard and I always wanted to be in a place where amazing directors choose me, which doesn’t come easy,” she said.
