Ananya Panday’s Anamika Khanna corset features antique metal embellishments and embroidered mirrors
Ananya Panday never shies from experimenting with her fashion choices. The Vogue India cover star is often sporting Indian fusion wear featuring corsets layered with capes, bandhgalas paired with dhoti-pants and embroidered separates. This time around, for a close friend’s wedding ceremony, Panday stepped out in a bohemian skirt and top set from designer Anamika Khanna.
The hero element of the look is a butterfly-inspired, corseted halter top adorned with oxidised metalwork, mirror detailing and hand embroidered gota work. The heavily-embellished halter moonlights as neck jewellery, doing away with the need to wear a necklace separately—a choice that Panday, too, made by accessorising with just XXL dangler silver earrings with lapis embellishments. Panday paired the corset with a voluminous organza skirt featuring distressed and frayed details. Alongside earrings, stylist Priyanka Kapadia chose a cuff bracelet with lion motifs from New Delhi-based jewellery label Apala by Sumit.
Panday’s beauty look featured a dewy base with kohl-rimmed eyes, defined lashes, blushed cheeks, nude pink lips and a small black bindi, while her hair was styled in a sleek bun.
Over the years, Panday has turned to designer Anamika Khanna on multiple occasions. The actor walked as the showstopper for Khanna’s prêt label AK|OK, at Lakme fashion week in March 2025. Most recently, for an award ceremony in March this year, Panday wore an embroidery jacket and dhoti-inspired pants. For a wedding ceremony in February this year, the actor wore a corset and draped skirt set layered with an embroidered cape.
