Aneet Padda’s fashion has been a healthy mix of petite and cute, along with the girl-next-door. And for the actor, Diwali is still on. The actor has caused quite a hallaballoo after photos of her festive celebrations with the Panday family were shared. Amid rumours of her budding romance with her Saiyaara co-star Ahaan Panday, Aneet shared a series of photos from her own Diwali celebrations.

Diwali is long gone, but her look is perfect for the upcoming wedding season, especially if you have one that is slated to happen within your family. And if you think sarees are a hassle to wear if there is a lot of running around in an event, think again. You just need to drape the traditional Indian nine yards in a way that suits your needs.

For Diwali, actor Aneet Padda wore a beautiful outfit by Aprita Mehta. At first glance you might think she is wearing a lehenga, but the actor is in fact wearing a saree. Her look paired the drama of a sculpted, strapless corse with the softness of the traditional Indian garment.

Rendered in champagne, antique gold and muted olive, the ensemble takes a richly layered approach to occasionwear. Its appeal lies in the contrast: a sharply defined upper half gives way to a fluid, floor-skimming silhouette.

The designer describes the look as a “Bandhani hand embroidered sari” that is paired with an “beige-gold paisley corset”. It features a lot of mirror, cutdana and Kasab hand embroidery that makes the look perfect for a big occasion, especially a wedding. Aneet’s saree is styled with “a warm olive embroidered silk tissue dupatta and a 3D mirror ladi drape” as well to add layers and depth to the entire look.

Instead of matching the outfit’s intensity with oversized jewellery, Aneet wears fine, layered necklaces dotted with small gemstones. As it sits above the sweetheart neckline of her corset, it fills the open space without overwhelming the outfit. Small earrings, a slender bracelet and rings complete the accessories. With this restrained scale in the styling by stylist Chandini Whabi, it allows the elaborate bodice and dupatta to remain the focal points while still adding some sparkle.
