Decoding Kiara Advani’s phenomenal look at the NMACC event
Kiara Advani is a vision in her ‘all things sparkly’ look at the opening ceremony of the NMACC event

Actor Kiara Advani surely made heads turn with her dreamy look on the first day of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre opening event in Mumbai. She walked in with her husband Sidharth Malhotra, both donning golden-beige ensembles, and left the shutterbugs and the crowd gushing over their chemistry and adorable PDA moments.
Advani’s ethnic regal look was to die for. She sparkled as a thousand stars combined would. The Shershaah actor wore a heavy lehenga with a modern chic twist, exuding radiance and confidence.
She shared a series of pictures on Instagram posing with Sidharth Malhotra, from before the event. The fans showered compliments and love in the comments section for the couple. Have a look:
Decoding Kiara Advani’s look
Kiara Advani opted for a shimmery beige lehenga with a gold blouse, encrusted with pearls and badla. Bollywood’s favourite designer, Manish Malhotra, designed hers as well as Sidharth’s outfit.
The backless blouse had jaal embroidery, the designer’s trademark infinity-style cropped hem and a fitted bust spread to the lower point of her neck. She wore a high-waist lehenga with very detailed embroidery, a patterned work of classic zardozi, pearls, Swarovski crystals and sequins. The lehenga had a mermaid-like silhouette with a long floor-sweeping train at the back.
Her outfit was elevated as the designer ditched the quintessential dupatta and added a Banarsi tissue liquid gold drape, which doubled up as sleeves. With nude pink nails, the only piece of jewellery Kiara wore was her solitaire engagement ring.
The perfect make-up:
Making a statement with her smokey eyes, Kiara had glamorous make-up done by Lekha Gupta. Her eyes were kohl-lined on the eyelid and the waterline, with a smokey nude-brown eyeshadow.
Kiara had her signature nude pink lips, lightly blushed cheeks and a blinding touch of highlighter. She looked flawless because of a dewy base, dark and thick brows, mascara on the lashes, and subtle contouring for that chiselled look.
Her look was perfected with sleek and straight hair, let loose with a middle part and lengthening below her waist.
Her husband and co-actor from the film Shershaah, Sidharth Malhotra twinned with Kiara in a beige embroidered blazer featuring notch lapel collars, and padded shoulders with an open front. The blazer was layered over a geometric Chikankari kurta, with a plunging-neck bandhgala. He completed his look with beige pinstripe pants, classic mojaris, and a neat and back-swept hairdo.
On the work front, Kiara Advani will be next seen with Kartik Aaryan, once again, in the romantic drama Satyaprem Ki Katha. The film will hit the theatres on June 29. Kiara is also shooting for Game Changer with actor Ram Charan.
