Sai Pallavi’s ensemble offered the boldest splash of colour on the red carpet.

A contrasting heavy zari blouse, designed in the same pink shade, was worn with the saree. The addition of stacked bangles added a traditional feature to the attire, while the distinctive japa mala was also included in the look. She wore a pair of earrings studded with stones, which provided a subtler sparkle, and as for her beauty notes, she simply opted for a centre parting, which beautifully framed her face, while mauve lipstick, soft pink blush, and simple eye makeup fit the outfit.
