Nayanthara's black and beige gown from the movie Nannbenda’s Enai Marubadi Marubadi song was nothing short of princess glam. From afar, the dress may seem to have deep V-necklines, but on closer inspection, there’s a beige detailing cover that adds a twist. Cinched at the waist, the gown features flowy details at the bottom. The sheer black fabric contrasts beautifully with the subtle beige, making the gown perfect for turning heads at any event.

The actress completed her look by styling it with black stud earrings and allowing her hair to flow naturally. This gown perfectly showcases Nayanthara's effortless ability to slay iconic outfits with timeless glam.

Nayanthara, ever the fashion follower, embraced this trend and donned a classic mini-black dress in the movie Nannbenda’s Enai Marubadi Marubadi song. The dress, designed with sheer details at the neck and flowy accents at the back, added real charm. However, the red pop highlighting her waist gave her the right amount of edge.

With her stunning black lehenga, the Jawan actress proved that even a lehenga can exude both sensuality and elegance. In the Oorellaam Unnai Kandu song from Nannbenda, Nayanthara showcased her dance skills wearing a stunning black lehenga. The lehenga itself was crafted from sheer plain black fabric, but the hemlines were the highlight, featuring thick golden lace that created a beautiful two-tone effect.

Thanks to the flowy fabric, the actress was able to move with ease. She paired the lehenga with a golden and black checkered design blouse. The sheer neck and sleeveless design exposed just the right amount of skin, keeping the look bold yet elegant. The dupatta was perfectly draped, with the pallu cascading down her shoulder. Her choice of accessories, like the maang tika and earrings, added understated charm, and we’d be lying if we said it didn’t mesmerize us.
