Kalyani stole the show in a couture sleeveless gown that blended sophistication, glamour, and modern elegance.
She opted for a shimmering ensemble featuring intricate detailing and a structured silhouette that gave her a stylish edge.
The striking combination of deep black and rich purple tones added depth and drama to the look, while the subtle sparkle brought in the red-carpet energy.
The most spotlight-stealing element of her look was the elegant back necklace, which elevated the look adding drama and glamour.
The rather unconventional piece of jewellery added a unique dimension to the look.
Kalyani chose a soft glam makeup with radiant skin, subtle eyes, and muted lips, which allowed the ensemble and jewellery to remain the focal points of the look.
Her effortlessly styled side-parted hair added a stylish dimension to the look.
She was seen treating herself to some ice cream at the French Riviera following the red carpet.
Prior to her red carpet appearance, Kalyani gave ethereal vibes in a white sleeveless buttoned top paired with a matching body-hugging skirt.
