Sonam wore a soft pink kalamkari drape by Asha Gautam featuring hand-rendered storytelling motifs and painterly detailing, which carried a fluid vibe with a lightweight feel. But things amplified when she layered it with a pistachio and pink Baluchari saree from The Far East Art Studio, which featured 19th-century archival detailing inspired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The two weaves met like soft chapters of the same book, where one was painted and one woven, creating an enchanting look. For her styling, she layered heritage jewellery and wore temple-style necklaces with stacked bangles, which echoed the old-world artistry and looked like they were picked from the classic era.
