In a sea of maximalist wedding ensembles, restraint has become the new luxury, and newlywed celebrity couple Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie Shine clearly understood this assignment. For their star-studded reception soirée, Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie Shine opted for a subtle palette by ace designer Manish Malhotra, that was largely favoured by fashion insiders.
Drenched in the combination of classic black with romantic blush, the duo stole the show in a less trend-chasing look, which exuded a legacy-defining power. For their special night, Shikhar Dhawan took a break from traditional sherwanis and opted for a classy black tailored suit.
The sharp and monochromatic look exuded a ‘modern gentleman’ vibe, which absolutely complemented his personality.
His new bride, however, stole the show in an ethereal pale pink gown-style lehenga featuring an intricate, shimmery, heavily embellished blouse with stones wrapped around, and teamed it with a matching lehenga skirt, which caught the light in the most iconic manner.
The combination of a soft pink palette in her contemporary piece made this ensemble a standout piece for the evening.
On the accessory front, the diva wore a pair of statement earrings, left her locks down in cascading waves, and opted for an illuminating base with winged eyes, peach cheeks, and nude lips.
In an age where wedding fashion often competes for virality, the couple chose absolute timelessness. With minimal styling, every little element of their look worked in subtle harmony. One needs to understand that the most powerful fashion statement isn’t just about being louder, but it’s about lasting.
