The lehenga and matching choli are designed by Sonali Jain, pairing a fitted crop blouse with a floor-sweeping flared skirt for dramatic contrast.
Structured cap sleeves rise into a sheer, embroidered upper panel, framing a deep neckline beneath a beaded, embellished mandarin collar.
A oval shaped cutout reveals a sheer mesh panel at the back, edged with the same gold embroidery seen across the front, turning a hidden detail into a focal point.
Below the embellished waist, the lehenga turns to plain velvet fabric, its solid maroon colour and floor-sweeping fullness offering the eye a pause after all that embroidery.
A heavily beaded waistband, dipping into a sharp V at the front, marks the exact line where the ornate blouse ends and the plain velvet skirt begins.
Round earrings and bangles set with large white stones come from SilvPop Jewels, chosen to complement blouse's embroidery.
Hairstylist Twisha Dedhi shapes a smooth updo, and makeup artist Harshita Patel, assisted by Archana Rout, finishes with glossy pink lips.
Styled by Nidhi Munot and photographed by Mehul on sets in the city, the shoot pairs architectural backdrops with the richness of the outfit's textures.
