At the recently held WAVES 2025 summit in Mumbai, fashion took a decidedly sculptural turn as Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari arrived in a sharp, all-black ensemble by designer Gaurav Gupta. Departing from overt glamour and high-impact red carpet theatrics, the look showcased architectural tailoring, textured surfaces, and oodles of style from the designer’s latest ready-to-wear line.

The pretty actress wore a black corset-style peplum top with strapless neckline and angular cuts for a structural fit. While black often runs the risk of disappearing in a sea of louder palettes, the corset and trouser combination kept the visual interest high with its distinct silhouette and hand embroidery on both sides.

The detailing was metallic but not ostentatious, suggesting a couture touch without pushing into maximalism. The top was paired with matching flared trousers, fitted through the thigh before opening up from the knees into dramatic, almost retro-style bell bottoms. The trousers served a dual purpose as they elongated Aditi’s petite frame while softening the sharpness of the corset with fluid movement.

The Heeramandi actress went with understated accessories and wore a set of stacked golden hoop earrings to slay the ongoing trend of structured waistlines and flared bottoms for formal occasions. Together, the pieces created a clean, monochrome look that made a stylish statement.

Sharing the pictures from her fashion collaboration shoot, Aditi wrote on her Instagram, “The way of water- flow, play,,adapt, mould, own your path, keep cleansing, stay pure while the world messes with you, glisten along the way …and be eternally precious. Coincidentally my mind space is in sync with where i was going!” (SIC)

Aditi’s appearance at the summit wasn't just another red carpet moment but also a chic lesson in beauty trend as she presented a perfect girl-next-door look among the heavyweights of the industry to balance her glam look. To align with her outfit’s minimalist appeal, she went with a half-up, half-down hairdo to add volume without fuss, with soft curls flowing over the shoulders and a slight twist pinned back for a breezy summer style. The hairstyle, classic yet unfussy, complemented the neckline of the outfit and drew attention to her collarbones.

On the other hand, her makeup was a perfect mix of natural and radiant base with blush concentrating on the cheekbones and nose bridge. Aditi’s signature soft pink matte pout and exaggerated eyes with a wash of metallic shimmer and subtle smokey finish added a gorgeous finish to her overall look.

She completed the look with arched brows and generous mascara on her lashes, delivering an overall aesthetic that was fresh, polished, and camera-ready. With a dewy, radiant base and flushed cheeks, she embraced a luminous glow that never overpowered.
