Her outfit—a stunning gold lehenga crafted by Roopa Sharmaa—sparkled with intricate mirror work, Gota Patti, and delicate embroidery, beautifully embodying the regal artistry of Jaipur. The gleaming gold fabric and meticulous detailing offered a contemporary take on traditional Rajasthani fashion. To complete the look, Ruchi draped a handcrafted Bandhani dupatta by Zaribari, designed by Ram, adorned with rich Zardozi and Gota Patti embellishments. This accessory paid homage to Rajasthan’s rich textile legacy and its profound spiritual ties to Indian culture. “Wearing this dupatta felt like I was draping the soul of Rajasthan,” she said. However, it was Ruchi Gujjar’s necklace inspired by PM Modi that truly captured attention. Meticulously crafted with significance, it served as both a stylish accessory and a heartfelt tribute to patriotism. Cannes 2025: Urvashi Rautela Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction on Day 6 of Prestigious Film Festival, Netizens Call Her ‘First Actress To Blow Flying Kiss With Torn Dress’ (View Pics).
