Sonam's gold bronze saree comes embroidered in intricate details reminiscent of a forest scenery with greenery, birds, and animals. She wore it with round-neck blouse details with a similar forest-inspired panorama. An animal print shawl, draped elegantly on her shoulder, completed Sonam's look.

Sonam accessorised the traditional ensemble with emerald drop earrings, statement gold rings, and high heels. A centre-parted sleek bun, smoky eye shadow, kohl-lined eyes, mascara on the lashes, darkened brows, mauve lip shade, blushed cheekbones, contoured face, and beaming highlighter gave the finishing touch.
