What did Jyothi Yarraji wear to the event
Black is an eternal shade, and one can never go wrong while styling this sensual and chic hue. Jyothi proved this right as she arrived at the Vogue event and posed with confidence for the paparazzi. Styled by Divya Bal, the track athlete wore a black, full-length gown from Sharnita Nandwana’s eponymous couture fashion label.
The dress features a halter neckline with a plunging back. A fitted bodice with a cinched waistline that falls into a figure-skimming skirt with the hem almost grazing the floor rounds off the silhouette of Jyothi’s ensemble.
Additionally, the sequin embellishments, along with the faux sheer silhouette on the top and a see-through skirt on the bottom, add to the feminine aesthetics of the floor-length gown. Lastly, the thigh-high slit adds a sensual finishing touch to the ensemble.
The styling
Divya Bal accessorised Jyothi’s black gown with a pair of crystal-embellished earrings and matching stacked bracelets. A pair of black pointed stilettos adorned with crystal-embellished bows completed the accessories. While the jewellery is from Swarovski, the shoes are from Jimmy Choo.
For her hair, Jyothi left her tresses loose in a side parting, styled with soft waves on the ends. As for the glam, she chose feathered brows, muted brown eye shadow, blush-tinted cheeks, beaming highlighter, and glossy pink lip shade.
