For Manish Malhotra's star-studded Diwali party, Ananya Birla stunned in a gold corset and fitted column skirt. She finished the look with a matching pearl-encrusted gold jacket.
Ananya Birla was designed by Toshia Kader.
At Manish Malhotra's star-studded Diwali party, Ananya Birla lit up the night with a spectacular look that married modern structure with old-world opulence. Dressed in a couture ensemble from the designer's Inaya collection, Ananya embodied the energy of a new-age goddess. It was bold, radiant and absolutely luxurious.
Her outfit featured a sculpted gold corset that defined her silhouette with structured precision, lending a contemporary touch to the otherwise traditional evening. The boning details of the corset elevated her posture and added drama to the look without the need for excessive embellishment. Along with this was a sheer column skirt, richly embroidered with gold motifs and delicate turquoise beads. The touch of turquoise scattered along the hem added a fresh and unexpected touch, giving dimension and style to the outfit.
Over Ananya Birla's shoulders hung effortlessly a pearl-encrusted jacket that sparkled with every movement, combining regal glamor with soft fluidity. The jacket's embroidery featured a cascade of tiny pearls and intricate threads. It celebrated the craftsmanship for which Manish Malhotra is revered.
Her style choices reflected the elegance of her outfit. Her soft, voluminous waves added a touch of vintage Hollywood to the look, while her makeup was minimalist with a soft matte finish, nude lips and bold brows, allowing the outfit to remain the focal point. A pair of strappy gold heels with subtle rings completed her ensemble with refined restraint.
Style conclusions
- Structured corsets are the new holiday power move: They add shape, confidence and a touch of fashion to traditional party wear.
- Don't avoid metal ones: Gold tones work well for evening occasions, especially when paired with sheer fabrics or unexpected jewelry details.
- Let your jacket do the talking: A statement jacket, especially one with pearl or bead embellishments, can instantly elevate a look without overpowering it.
- The contrast burst works wonders: The turquoise beads on Ananya's skirt brought surprise and contrast to an otherwise monochrome palette.
- Minimum beauty, maximum impact: Keep hair and makeup soft and sleek to let complex outfits breathe.
Ananya Birla's Diwali look proved that festive fashion in 2025 is not about playing it safe. It's about embracing individuality with opulence and bold choices that still appear timeless.
