Ananya Panday in a safari-print co-ord set channels romance and whimsy

Ananya Panday attended the unveiling of Airbnb’s first original experience in India, in a Montsand look that combined a corset silhouette with pastoral whimsy. The coordinated top and skirt featured the brand’s Safari print, a muted tapestry of beige and sage green illustrating wildlife scenes in the narrative style of French toile de Jouy; an 18th-century technique known for its finely drawn, single-tone motifs set against a pale background.

The top, a corset-inspired bustier with slender straps, buttoned down the front and flared gently at the waist. It flowed into a high-waisted A-line skirt that skimmed mid-calf, finished with discreet pockets that added ease without breaking the rhythm of the print.

Ananya Panday punctuated the look with earrings that had an iridescent centre stone, fringed with delicate star-shaped diamonds and a sun-inspired gold ring. On her wrist, she donned the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold watch. Makeup stayed soft and luminous—radiant skin with peachy lips, cheeks and lids—while her hair was swept into a clean updo, with tendrils framing her face.

Co-ords remain a staple silhouette on runways and racks, thanks to their versatility and ease of transitioning between seasons. At Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2025 show, they came in both botanical-inspired and geometric prints, offering a modern take on resort dressing. In Chanel’s Fall-Winter 2025/26 couture collection, the focus shifted to structure, with sharply tailored tweed. Across both, the modular pull of separates proved as versatile in daywear as it is in couture.

From Vogue’s fashion desk:

“Lean into the romance of the print. A pair of delicate ankle-strap sandals and pearl drop earrings would echo the dress’s painterly charm, while a messy bun would give it an undone, old-world elegance without tipping into costume.,” says Vogue India fashion associate Manglien Gangte.
