Coco Chanel once said that black and white created the perfect harmony. Take one look at Masaba Gupta’s latest creation and you wouldn’t deny that one bit. The designer — whose signature motifs are usually quirky and eye-catching — toned it down to a simple yet classic black and white sari gown with minimal motifs of a crescent and a lotus flower that she wore to the global premiere of the Netflix series The Crown in London.
Minimal and muted colours are the choicest picks for this bridal season, but Masaba just made it clear that the absence of colour is equally impressive. We love how the gown’s silhouette hugs the body’s curves, while the sweeping ‘pallu’ adds enough drama to warrant your own reality TV show.
Emerald and diamond layered chokers and matching earrings rounded off her ensemble. Masaba kept her make-up minimal with her hair pulled back into a sleek ponytail, allowing the rest of the look to stand out.
Time to jot down some style notes for what you should be wearing to your best friend’s wedding.
