Between cheering at Wimbledon and attending the FIFA final, Ananya Panday took to the runway as Designer Gaurav Gupta's showstopper.

As the lights dimmed on the runway and the music swelled, the stage turned into a celestial canvas.

Models glided down looking like angels as they brought Gaurav Gupta's Light Song 26 collection to life.

But the highlight was Ananya Panday.

Ananya walked in the intricately crafted White Camellia bridal lehenga from Gaurav's collection, which featured more than 2,600 individually hand-cut three-dimensional camellia petals.

Hand-embroidered with 12,000 pearls and over 680 crystals, the showstopping outfit took approximately 490 hours to complete.

Inspired by the dance between the sun and the moon, the collection explored themes of duality, transformation and cosmic harmony.

On Instagram, the designer described the collection as 'a rare alignment where light and shadow momentarily surrender their distinction into a cosmic union.
