The actors arrived together at the engagement party and were seen holding hands as they entered the venue. They both chose smart, traditional ensembles for the occasion. Let's decode their looks:

What Rashmika and Vijay wore to engagement bash

While Rashmika Mandanna kept her style traditional, looking comfortable for the appearance after her accident, Vijay Deverakonda matched Rashmika's look in an all-black suit for the occasion. He wore a bandhgala jacket featuring ornate buttons, full-length sleeves and a tailored fit, which he styled with matching tapered-fit black pants, dress shoes, a matching pocket square, a backswept hairdo, and his signature, head-turning handlebar moustache.

Her anarkali features a bodice elegantly embroidered with gold threadwork and elevated by a plunging V-neckline, half-length sleeves, and a fitted silhouette. From the cinched bust, the velvet skirt of the anarkali, in a dual shade, flows elegantly, creating a fluid effect. A gold, heavily embroidered border on the hem rounds off the details.

Rashmika completed the anarkali by draping a deep-green velvet dupatta over her shoulder. IT features golden patti embroidery, tassel embellishments at the ends, and delicate floral patterns adorned with threadwork.

For accessories, Rashmika chose a diamond choker necklace and a matching bracelet. She let her hair down, literally, with this look, styling her locks in a centre parting. Lastly, for the glam, she chose a glossy pink lip shade, a dewy base, feather brows, and mascara-adorned lashes.

About the couple

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda tied the knot in a private ceremony in Udaipur in February 2026. Their wedding was attended by close family and friends. Their love story began quietly in 2017, when they met on the sets of Geetha Govindam. However, the dating rumours began in January 2023 following a vacation in the Maldives.
