Bollywood actress and former beauty queen Dia Mirza looked ethereal in an ethnic outfit by fashion
designer Ritu Kumar, for her mehndi function.
The event – part of her pre-wedding ceremonies –
was held recently. Dia, who is marrying filmmaker Sahil Sangha Saturday, seemed happy and excited in a
marigold yellow chanderi multi-panelled kurta.
Describing the intricacies of the regal looking outfit,
Ritu Kumar said in a statement, “The kurta has a vintage
cut used in the courts of Agra around the 15th century.
The neck is deep and worked in embroidered gota
patti on net like the technique used at the time. The gold metallic taar used is of silver worked in gold thread and dori to give it a stylised plant inlay look. Each panel is highlighted with a flowering buta. The odhni is fuschia worked with
small butis of the same beaten gold gota patti, a fuschia
brocade deep sinjaf finishes the edges of the outfit.”
