Anushka Sen has paved a path of her own in the entertainment industry and has achieved several feats at the tender age of 22. Adding another feather to her hat, she made a stunning debut at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival on the 4th day. The actress-influencer wore a stunning deep-wine-colored mermaid-style gown on the red carpet. It was a refreshing sight to watch a deep, rich hue on the carpet. Adorned with intricate embroidery, a big bow, and a flowing trail, the look was captivating. And now, let's decode this look.

Anushka Sen’s gown is a fusion of the Indian tradition and the South Korean style. The intricacies of the embroidery are inspired by the historic Chintz prints once loved in European royal courts. Additionally, traditional Indian techniques like zardozi, aari, resham, and fine crystal threadwork were used to uplift its elegance. Thus, it narrates India’s story of rich textile history and its connection with the world. The Dil Dosti Dilemma actor's team further tells us that it took 611 hours, over three weeks, and a skilled team of 9 embroiderers, 3 craftsmen, and 1 master artisan to bring this gown to life.
