The badminton veteran chose a striking, floor-length red gown by designer SahilKochhar. The dress had a structured silhouette that cinched at the waist and flowed into a soft A-line shape. The fitted bodice featured a square neckline and cap sleeves, detailed with a delicate white floral pattern, accented with deep red and navy. The lower half opened into a dramatic, full skirt that swept the floor in a bold red, with the same floral motifs falling beautifully across it.

Accessorising the look, she paired the elegant outfit with a pearl-and-gold statement necklace that added more impact, along with minimal jewellery for a balanced, refined effect. She chose warm-toned makeup for the glam.
