The actress’s red carpet debut ensemble was a masterful blend of contemporary silhouette and intricate traditional detailing. She wore a bespoke strapless gown by the Indian label Itrh. Her dress featured a striking deep purple bodice, framed by a shimmering black border that tapered to accentuate her silhouette.
