Aafreen is a royal affair for the big day — a traditional peshwas inspired by the Mughal era, cut with extra flare and embodied in rich velvet details, its bodice heavily worked and wide borders running the full sweep of the ghera. The finest hand techniques are layered here: sequins, zardozi, dabka and beads, each catching light at a different depth.
The heavy-bordered organza dupatta adds the splendour the silhouette deserves, and the ensemble arrives with a sequinned jaal dupatta and a luxe velvet pouch besides.
Yumna Zaidi wears Aafreen in the campaign for RJ's Pret; they carry the pouch in hand with the dupatta framing the face — a study in how this piece will photograph on a barat stage.
