New Delhi: Samantha Ruth Prabhu attended the Elle Sustainability Awards on Thursday. The actor’s monochrome beaded bodice dress was the center of everyone’s attention. Why?

Kresha Bajaj, who also designed Samantha’s wedding dress, shared how she made and redesigned the dress. She shared how they hand-sewed floral and crystal details onto her white dress in 2016, and again she did the detailing by painting it all black and changing the silhouette.

“We loved working with Samantha, our muse, to help her create a new memory and tell a different story. Beauty is forever. And it can take a new shape every day,” the designer captioned her video, but many fans suggested it was Samantha’s dress that had been given a new purpose.

And every little gesture, every little decisive action is important. It all adds up. I urge myself and all of you who have goodwill for me in your hearts to make those small efforts,” she added.

Samantha and Naga Chaitanya got married on October 6, 2017 in Goa. The couple had a three-day wedding, complete with a Christian and Hindu ceremony. A few days before their anniversary in 2021, the couple announced their divorce on Instagram.

Samantha spoke about her marriage and divorce in Harper’s Bazaar, where she said: ‘When I hit rock bottom of, well, a failed marriage, and my health and work were affected, it was like a triple whammy; boom Boom Boom. You know, people have to endure a lot less than what I have had to endure the last two years.”

Samantha will soon be seen in Raj & DK’s web series ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ with Varun Dhawan as her co-star.
