There is something about an ivory outfit that never goes out of style, especially during the wedding season. While vibrant colours will always have their moment, soft neutrals have slowly become the choice for those who want their look to feel elegant without going over the top. Athiya Shetty’s latest appearance is a beautiful reminder of exactly that. Dressed in Rohit Bal’s FW24 creation, she brings together everything we love about festive dressing — beautiful craftsmanship, delicate floral embroidery, a striking monochrome palette and jewellery that instantly catches the eye.
The outfit feels fresh, timeless and incredibly wearable for bridesmaids, wedding guests and even intimate celebrations. Finished with a bold gemstone necklace, tiny diamond studs, sleek hair and glowing minimal makeup, every detail works together beautifully. Nothing feels too much, yet nothing goes unnoticed. If you’re looking for wedding fashion inspiration that feels romantic and easy to recreate, this look deserves a spot on your mood board.
An Ivory Anarkali Rich In Floral Embroidery
The first thing you notice is the soft ivory colour, but it is the embroidery that keeps your eyes on the outfit. Crafted as part of Rohit Bal’s FW24 collection, the anarkali is covered in beautiful floral embroidery inspired by blooming botanical gardens. The threadwork stretches gracefully across the flared skirt, while the embroidered border at the hem adds a richer finish without making the outfit feel heavy. Instead of relying on sequins or dramatic embellishments, the craftsmanship itself becomes the standout feature.

The sheer organza dupatta deserves just as much attention. Draped lightly over one shoulder, it features oversized tonal floral motifs that seem to float across the fabric. As Athiya moves, the embroidery catches the light ever so slightly, adding depth while keeping the monochrome palette beautifully soft. It is this balance between texture and simplicity that makes the outfit feel so timeless. Nothing shouts for attention, yet every element has something worth looking at.
A Corset-Inspired Bodice With Monochrome Charm
One of the most beautiful details of the ensemble is its corset-inspired bodice. Rather than feeling structured or rigid, it softly shapes the silhouette with delicate panelling and embroidered cups that blend seamlessly into the flowing anarkali. The wide straps frame the neckline beautifully, while the fitted upper half creates the perfect balance against the voluminous skirt.

What makes the look even more captivating is its monochrome story. The bodice, skirt and sheer organza dupatta all stay within the same ivory palette. The layered fabrics create depth without needing contrasting colours, making the outfit feel rich yet beautifully understated. Peeking out beneath the embroidered hem are shimmering juttis by Needledust that complete the look with just the right touch of sparkle, staying perfectly in tune with the soft ivory palette.
A Gemstone Necklace And Diamond Studs That Adds A Pop Of Colour
Against the soft ivory neckline, the jewellery instantly becomes the hero of the look. Athiya styles the ensemble with a custom Navratna gemstone necklace by A Jewels by Anmol and it completely changes the mood of the outfit. Set with colourful stones in rich shades of emerald green, ruby red, sapphire blue and warm amber, the necklace brings a vibrant burst of colour to the otherwise neutral palette. It feels heritage-inspired against Rohit Bal’s beautifully embroidered creation.

The rest of the accessories are thoughtfully chosen, allowing the statement necklace to shine without competing for attention. Tiny diamond studs from Irasva Fine Jewellery add a subtle sparkle, while a custom embroidered ivory bag by Meera Mahadevia blends easily into the monochrome styling. Its delicate detailing mirrors the craftsmanship of the anarkali, tying the entire look together while keeping the styling elegant and celebration-ready.
Sleek Hair And Minimal Makeup Complete The Look
The beauty look follows the same approach as the outfit — simple, fresh and beautifully balanced. Athiya parts her sleek hair neatly down the middle before pulling it back into a long braided ponytail. The hairstyle keeps her face open while drawing even more attention to the statement necklace. It also adds a slightly modern touch to the otherwise traditional outfit, making the overall styling feel current without trying too hard.

Her minimal makeup ties everything together perfectly. Glowing skin, softly sculpted cheeks, brushed brows, lightly defined eyes and a nude pink lip keep the focus exactly where it should be — on the outfit. There are no dramatic beauty choices or bold colours competing with the embroidery or jewellery. Instead, everything feels light, polished and easy to wear.
