“For the second day of @nmacc.india, Priyanka (@priyankachopra) in our custom ensemble styled by Ami (@stylebyami). It was crafted by pairing a sixty-year-old vintage Banarasi brocade saree made using silver threads and a gold electroplating on khadi silk,” Amit Aggarwal wrote in the caption.
He added, “This was draped over and structured with a jewel-toned, moulded body made with our signature unique material and paired with a sequin sheet holographic bustier to reflect the nine colours of Ikat weave that the brocade is set in. The ensemble was crafted across six months, with the original vintage textile handwoven in the craft clusters of Varanasi.”
Meanwhile, Priyanka had styled the silk saree with a Bulgari choker necklace, statement rings, diamond ear studs, and embellished holographic high heels. In the end, Priyanka chose side-parted lightly-tousled wavy locks, shimmering silver eye shadow, glossy mauve lip shade, winged eyeliner, mascara on the lashes, rouged cheekbones, feathered brows, dewy base, and light contouring.
