Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu made a significant impact on sustainable fashion as she graced the Elle Sustainability Awards on Thursday evening. The highlight of her appearance? Her stunning beaded bodice gown, which turned heads not just for its elegance but also for its backstory—it was her repurposed wedding gown.
Designer Kresha Bajaj, in collaboration with Samantha, shared a video showcasing the transformation of the gown. The process was documented from its original form to its new avatar, emphasizing the concept of beauty evolving and taking on new forms every day.
Internet users were quick to recognize the significance of Samantha’s choice, as the gown holds sentimental value—it was the very dress she wore for her wedding in 2017 with co-star Naga Chaitanya.
