In a pastel lehenga with exquisite decoration and beautiful embroidery, Sara Ali Khan exuded the ultimate appeal. A bustier-style choli with a plunging neckline was worn with the statement-making flared lehenga skirt. The dupatta that was fastened at the back gave the entire ensemble a fashionable touch. Sara used romantic makeup with a dewy base and nude blush applied on top, in keeping with the romantic appeal of the outfit. She chose her eye makeup with neutral eyeshadow, captivating eyelashes, and double down on minimalism. Curls are the epitome of romanticism. Khan's hair was styled in thick curls, giving her an ethereal appearance. Her appearance served as an example of how nude tone makeup can create romantic elegance and was a lesson in the less is more aesthetic.
