Shloka Mehta rocks stunning ethnic look
The Ambanis' badi bahu ditched the usual heavy lehengas and sarees, opting instead for a fresh, contemporary ethnic look. Her outfit featured a sleeveless blouse with a V-neckline, adorned with golden sequin embroidery and intricate zari work, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. Red detailing along the border added a touch of contrast, while big silver buttons brought in an extra dose of glam.
Giving a classic Banarasi fabric a modern twist, Shloka skipped the traditional skirt drape and paired the blouse with extra-flared red palazzo pants featuring golden detailing all over, finished with sequin borders along the hemline. The ensemble created a perfect balance of ethnic elegance and contemporary style.
How she styled her look
In terms of accessories, she kept it elegant, styling her look with a pair of silver statement earrings adorned with red emeralds. Her makeup was soft yet radiant, featuring nude eyeshadow, mascara-laden lashes, defined brows, contoured cheekbones, a hint of blush, and plenty of highlighter for that lit-from-within glow. She completed her look with a nude lipstick and left her long, luscious tresses open in a sleek middle partition.
