On Thursday night, Samantha Ruth Prabhu went to the Elle Sustainability Awards. She got a lot of second looks. Everyone looked at her all-black bodice gown with beads in more than one way. It’s the same white dress she wore to her dream wedding to Naga Chaitanya in 2017.

Repurposing a ‘beloved’ gown

The wedding dress Samantha wore was also made by Kresha Bajaj. She posted a video of herself making the dress on Instagram. But the artist only wrote, “We loved working with Samantha, our muse, to help her make a new memory and tell another story.” It looks beautiful all the time. It can look different every day. A lot of people knew it wasn’t her wedding dress because it was being worn for something else. Everything was done in the movie she showed.

Samantha posted black-and-white pictures of herself wearing the dress with the message, “We can’t ignore sustainability anymore.” Samantha was given an award for her work on the environment. At this point, there’s no choice. We need to do this to make sure our world lasts a long time. My skilled friend @kreshabajajofficial remade a dress I already had for this event that I love.

“That might not seem important—even entitled—to many,” she noted. I promise that swapping out my old clothes for new ones is just one of many things I am doing to change my ways and live in a more eco-friendly way. And every little thing you do or say is important. Everything makes sense. Myself and everyone else who likes me tells me to do those little things.

Samantha’s fairytale wedding

He worked with her in Ye Maaya Chesave, and they got married in Goa on October 6, 2017. Along with a sangeet, there was a mehendi, a Christian ceremony, and a Hindu ceremony over three days. They said they were breaking up in an Instagram post a few days before their 2021 wedding. Not long after that, they split up.
