Meenaakshi Chaudhary Embraces Understated Elegance In A Mustard-Hued Gown
Last Updated: Meenakshi Chaudhary opted for a mustard coloured one-shoulder gown for her latest look. She shared the pictures on her social media. Best known for her role as Sumathi Kumar in Dulquer Salmaan's 2024 Telugu crime drama film Lucky Baskhar, Meenaakshi Chaudhary is currently gearing up for her upcoming projects with Navin Pollishetty and Naga Chaitanya. Amidst her professional commitments, the actor took to her social media to share pictures of her latest look. For her latest OOTD, Meenaakshi opted for a mustard coloured one-shoulder scalloped gown. Taking to her Instagram, Meenaakshi Chaudhary shared a series of pictures of her latest look. She captioned the pictures with clover leaf emojis. The pictures showed her striking some regal poses against a wood panelled wall as she stunned in a mustard-hued one-shoulder gown by John & Ananth. Take a closer look at Meenaakshi's OOTD here. View this post on Instagram For her latest look, Meenaakshi wore a bold mustard yellow one-shoulder gown from Indian luxury couturiers John & Ananth, known for their structural silhouettes and refined craftsmanship. The gown came with a striking scalloped neckline that artfully frames the collarbone, adding an architectural edge to the timeless one-shoulder silhouette. Expertly tailored, the bodice contoured her figure before cascading into a dramatic, floor-grazing trail, bringing both fluidity and red carpet drama to the ensemble. To complement the sleek elegance of the gown, she opted for bold statement jewellery: oversized drop earrings and a stack of rings that add just the right amount of sparkle without distracting from the gown's refined structure. She styled her hair in a textured messy bun, injecting a touch of effortless cool and balancing the sophistication with a hint of softness. For the glam, she went with a subtle, dewy makeup palette with warm undertones, enhancing her features while keeping the overall focus firmly on the ensemble. Meenaakshi rose to prominence after being crowned Miss Grand India 2018. A former national-level swimmer, she made her acting debut in Telugu cinema and has since earned praise for her screen presence and versatility. Known for her elegant charm and grounded personality, Meenakshi was last seen in Anil Ravipudi's Telugu action comedy movie, Sankranthiki Vasthunam. First Published: June 06, 2025, 13:41 IST
