Mumbai: The highly-hyped GlobeTrotter event, by SS Rajamouli, in Hyderabad provided a blend of screen grandeur, international aspiration, and star power. While the announcements and visuals drew massive attention, the evening’s standout moments came from the lead actors, Priyanka Chopra and Mahesh Babu, whose contrasting fashion choices set the tone for the night.
Priyanka Chopra: Regal, Ethereal, and Bridal-Inspired
Priyanka’s look at the event leaned into classic Indian couture with a contemporary polish. Her appearance was a blend of old-world opulence and modern glamour. She opted to wear an ivory, applied with a lot of embellishing saree that intertwined sheer textures with glittering sequin work on her person, which made her look ethereal under stage lights. The short-sleeved blouse was embroidered with delicacy, and the saree was combined with it, which would not break the balance between traditional Indian clothes and contemporary style. The belt was stone-studded, which made her waist more structured and her silhouette was more royal.
Her choice of jewellery took it to a different level. Priyanka had put on a heavy kundan choker with earrings matching the beauty of the costume. The slogan maang-tikka, adorned with pearls and elaborate decoration, was a nice, nearly bridal touch. She wore several bracelets and bangles in gold and pearl mixes on her wrists, and finished off an opulent and well-coordinated jewellery ensemble. Her make-up included a radiant base, brown soft eyeshadow, pronounced eyebrows and a nude glossy lip- perfectly balanced to allow her jewellery and outfit to shine. Her hair was parted in the centre of her head in the form of a bun, which made the entire appearance classic and attractive to the whole world.
Mahesh Babu: Relaxed, Earthy, and Effortlessly Charismatic
Mahesh Babu, on the contrary, adopted a more subtle and yet charismatic approach that appealed closely to the fans. He went on the stage in a camel brown jacket that was combined with a beige deep V shirt that gave him a casual and easy looking touch to his outfit. His pants bore an utility-oriented design which made the entire outfit appear structured yet casual. His styling was not complicated, and it emphasized his natural screen presence and did not appeal to embellishment. Another black necklace and his trademark wavy hair was an added touch to make him look rugged but sophisticated.
Event Takeaway
SS Rajamouli’s Globetrotter event was a big statement of scale and story, but the fashion of the leads added its own buzz. Priyanka was all glamour and couture at the dot, whereas Mahesh was down-to-earth and character-driven. Together, the contrasting aesthetics amplified the anticipation surrounding Rajamouli’s new cinematic universe.
