Khushi Kapoor, who has been busy promoting her film Nadaaniyan alongside Ibrahim Ali Khan, recently attended an award function celebrating the magic of Indian cinema in a white pre-draped saree by Manish Malhotra.

Khushi looked nothing short of a Gen Z star in the pre-draped ensemble, featuring a white skirt with a buttery silhouette that created a stunning fitted flare. The bold slit added just the right touch of modern glam. The look was completed with a sheer dupatta that doubled as a pallu, beautifully embroidered with red and pink beads and sequins—a design replicated on her scalloped-hem blouse. The embroidery lent the ensemble a soft, delicate, and dreamy charm.

Her look was accessorised with a stunning pair of studs and rings. Her makeup was kept subtle and simple, with shimmery eyes and glossy lips. Soft waves adorned her hair, adding to the ethereal effect.

The evening saw several other stars embracing the timeless elegance of white. Shilpa Shetty dazzled in a Manish Malhotra white saree designed to suit her signature style. Her net saree, adorned with intricate floral threadwork, complemented her frame perfectly. The halter-neck blouse with pearl strings gave the traditional ensemble a contemporary twist.
