Ananya Panday weaves her magic in black ruffled saree by Arpita Mehta at Sidharth Malhotra-Kiara Advani reception

Black is no longer seen as a bad omen for celebratory occasions like weddings. Now, the timeless classic colour can be worn at all other occasions, including joyous events and sangeet evenings. Black sarees are unquestionably the newest cherished items in our ethnic wardrobe, making them an absolute need. Bollywood celebs, like Ananya Panday, are also enamoured with colour, so it's not only our perspective. The St. Regis Hotel in Mumbai played home to Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani's second wedding celebration on February 12.

Sid-Kiara's reception was a star-studded event, with everyone from Gauri Khan and Alia Bhatt to Kajol and Kareena Kapoor Khan in attendance. It was the perfect chance for Ananya Panday to show us how to wear the black saree with ease in time for the wedding season.

When it comes to wedding festivities, Ananya Panday adheres to a code. She has a carefully curated wardrobe of elegant options, including sharara sets and ruffled saris. We knew we could rely on her to pull together a risqué yet regal ensemble, and she has not let us down once more. Ananya donned a gorgeous black embellished saree created by designer Arpita Mehta for the Sid-Kiara wedding festivities.

Borders of the black saree shimmered. Her sari has layers with ruffles at the bottom and subtle shimmering touches. She maintained the look sensuous by pairing it with a bralette in a similar black shade that featured a banded base and a plunging neckline rather than opting for a modest blouse. Her blouse is the ideal pick for a wedding celebration because it also boasts silver sparkly accents. If you need to update your wedding wardrobe, we advise selecting a sari with ruffles and shimmer like Panday's.

Ananya Panday's choice of jewellery—a set of diamond bangles and a pair of hoops—shows that you don't need to wear a lot of jewellery to stand out. It only takes one statement piece. The actress kept her makeup simple, opting for a dewy base, kohl-rimmed eyes, and a nude gloss on the lips, just as she did with her jewellery. Her style was completed by the side part of her curly hair.
