Ananya kicked off her bridesmaid era with a stunning Mayyur Girotra Couture lehenga, teeming with mirror work, embroidery and bright thread work. The conservative crew neck blouse kept things contemporary with the magi sleeves, allowing the built-on-black lehenga to be the moment. The good old slick choti tied things up effortlessly.

K.I.S.S.

Keep it simple, silly. The Haldi ritual saw Annie pull a quick outfit change, turning out in a one-shouldered, paneled and pastel kurta set from the House of Masaba. As fuss-free as it gets when you're on bride duty, the subtle gold embroidery and hints of pink made sure to still keep things fun.

Twirling tales

A flirty Bhumika Sharma lehenga was the actor's pick for Mehndi day. The crushed tissue skirt alternating between panels of teal and gold-olive layered over a silk base stood cinched in with the embroidered, velvet halter-neck bodice, also teal. Kundan jade jewellery grounded the look in its desi princess aura while the half-up-half-down hair added a contemporary touch.

Walk in the wild

Bachelorette nights are the last hurrah — and things ought to get wild! Going all-out on the cheetah print theme, a heavily sequined backless mini was Ananya's look for the night. The slick to bouncy hair kept things cute, the painted on snout making it cuter.

Ending ornate

Another specimen of excellent craftsmanship built on black, Ananya opted for a heavily embroidered Anamika Khanna ensemble for the reception. The tapered fishtail skirt was balanced with a scallop-edged strapless bodice. The patterned embroidery added length to the look, the statement gold jewellery making it a maximalist dream.
