Cape-like sleeves push the jacket's shoulders wide, while a cropped blouse bares the midriff. Below, flared brocade trousers stretch the line long and fluid.
Metallic zari thread catches light across the weave, its stiff hand giving the jacket structure. The cropped blouse repeats the same brocade, but lighter.
A multi-strand pearl necklace layers against a polki necklace at the collar, stacking two distinct jewellery traditions into a single neckline.
Hair pulled into a sleek low bun keeps focus on the neckline, while bronze-toned eyes and a nude-brown lip stay close to the fabric's own warm palette.
A gold tasseled clutch swings from one hand, echoing the brocade's metallic tone, while a jewelled cuff wraps the opposite wrist.
Vidhi Godha shot the images, Sushmita Vankar and Vamika Wadhwa handled makeup, Niharika styled the hair, and Priyanka Kapadia Badani led the styling.
