The ensemble is from the shelves of the Mumbai-based designer clothing label Jigya Patel. Prominent names like Nita Ambani, Radhika Merchant, her sister Anjali Merchant, Madhuri Dixit, and Natasha Poonawalla have also worn creations by the brand.

Kangana's purple silk saree features gold, pink and maroon brocade embroidery done with intricate detailing on the drape. The broad borders adorned with Mochi work, floral patterns, mirror work, and gold sequin tassels add to the feminine elegance of the nine yards. Lastly, tassel work and gold sequins on the pallu border are a testament to the details that went into making the ensemble.

With her hair tied in a centre-parted bun, Kangana wore statement silver earrings and an embroidered pink potli bag to accessorise the ensemble. She chose minimal makeup with the ensemble. Muted pink eye shadow, a hint of mascara on the lashes, light pink lip shade, flushed cheeks, and a dainty bindi rounded off the glam picks.
