The outfit featured intricate draping that gathered at the waist, creating a fluid, Grecian-inspired silhouette. The gown was elevated by a shimmering, crystalline trim along the neckline and a matching arm cuff, adding a touch of contemporary sparkle. Radhika kept her hair in a sleek, high-volume ponytail, allowing her radiant makeup and statement diamond earrings to take centre stage.

The dress combined the structured elegance of western couture with the graceful draping of a traditional saree.
