Samantha Ruth Prabhu has long had a way of making uncomplicated dressing feel considered. Whether in an anarkali or a sari, the actor rarely relies on excessive styling to make an outfit stand out. Her latest look continued that approach, bringing the same ease to festive dressing in a maroon anarkali from TrulySMA, the label she co-founded.
The three-piece set paired a straight-cut kurta with wide-leg trousers and a matching dupatta, crafted in a lightweight silk blend. The detailing gave the otherwise straightforward silhouette its festive character. Delicate embroidery traced the neckline and sleeves, while the maroon base kept the embellishment from feeling overly ornate. The traditional metallic-edged dupatta added a subtle glint when layered over the set, but Prabhu’s styling kept the overall effect clean. Rather than building the outfit around multiple elements, she allowed the restrained embroidery to carry the look.
She paired the set with metallic open-toe heels and for jewellery, she opted for statement gold jhumkas from Sheetal Zaveri, complementing the embellished detailing on the three-piece set.
Her beauty look followed suit. Prabhu wore her hair in a centre part in voluminous waves. Her makeup featured groomed brows, a small red bindi and a muted nude lip, keeping it understated.
From Vogue’s fashion desk:
“A solid-colour kurta like Ruth Prabhu’s is making an unconventional statement. Without many embroideries and surface ornamentation, the cut of the kurta and its fitting is paramount. This is a great reference for women who like to keep things simple and fuss-free with their ceremonial style. Ornate jewellery can elevate a well-tailored kurta set with little to no effort. Styling can be made further traditional by accessorising with a metallic minaudiere and juttis,” says Ashwini Arun Kumar, Vogue India fashion features editor.
