Tamannaah Bhatia’s Mughal Sehra-inspired ensemble is perfect muse for royal weddings    – Miss Junebug

Southern actress Tamannaah Bhatia recently delivered a dazzling fashion moment in a Bandhani ensemble by the celebrated designer duo Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. The look was a masterclass in maximalism, blending heritage-inspired craftsmanship with contemporary appeal. Drawing inspiration from the Mughal Sehra, a traditional headpiece, this outfit is a testament to the designers’ ability to reinvent the past for modern audiences.

The outfit showcased Tamannaah as a glorified royal muse for the designer collection. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, the custom ensemble featured a kurta adorned with delicate pearl tassels flowing at the hem, paired with a crushed gharara. The standout elements were two Bandhani dupattas, which added depth and vibrancy to the look. The ensemble’s indulgence in Gota, sequins, and antique Zardozi embroidery highlighted the duo’s commitment to timeless luxury. The sleeves, enhanced with real pearl tassels, danced gracefully, further accentuating the ensemble’s opulence.

According to the designers, the inspiration behind the look stemmed from their fascination with Mughal artistry. The crushed silk technique, perfected over three decades by the well-known designers was integral to the design. They credit the natural starch element in pure silk for giving the fabric its signature texture. The focal point of the ensemble, featured a classic round neckline, lavish gold embroidery across the bodice, and playful tassels along the hemline. Paired with a vibrant red crushed silk skirt, the interplay of textures and colours elevated the ensemble’s maximalist appeal. Completing the look was a matching Bandhani dupatta embellished with gold embroidery. Her choice of chunky stacked bangles on both wrists added a bold accessory statement, while her sleek bun ensured the intricate details of the outfit remained the focus.

Sharing her excitement, the actress took to social media to share a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, expressing her admiration for the designer duo. “Every time I wear Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, I am instantly transported to another world. Their luxury, glamour, and grace are unparalleled. I don’t just feel beautiful; I feel seen,” she captioned the post. Her words resonated deeply, echoing the sentiment of fashion’s current embrace of ‘nowstalgia’ — a harmonious blend of the old and new.

A history of collaboration:

This isn’t the first time Tamannaah has stunned in creations by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. While promoting Sikandar ka Muqqadar, she donned a pristine white and golden Anarkali by the designers. The outfit featured intricate embroidery and delicate patterns, highlighting timeless elegance. In Lucknow, the city of Nawabs, the actress turned heads in a sleeveless Anarkali with a plunging V-neck, golden embellishments, and an ivory skirt. She paired it with a long jacket complementing the Anarkali adding a contemporary edge. Accessorising her look to perfection, she chose gold and silver earrings and paired with Christian Louboutin heels to blend glamour and tradition for her promotional look. Her make-up was also equally stunning: featuring a flawless foundation base with golden shimmer that enhanced her natural glow. She had generously applied blush on her cheeks, which gave a youthful appeal, along with soft pink lips adding a pop of colour. She managed to give a look which is worth bookmarking for this wedding season and is a love letter to both style and grace.
