The wedding season saw Panday fully embracing Indian wear with a romantic, maximalist turn. She stepped out in a dust-pink chikankari sari by Itrh, paired with a gold corset blouse drenched in mirror work. Off-shoulder sleeves strung with reflective mirrors added drama, while the Lucknowi embroidery and gold mirror tassels elevated the soft palette. Styled by Priyanka Kapadia, the look was finished with a Sunita Shekhawat polki-kundan necklace accented with emeralds, matching earrings, a pink daisy gajra and nude makeup, an unmistakably baraati-approved moment.
Ananya Panday’s look in Melbourne was one to remember and for all the right reasons. She wore a fitted Rasario bodycon dress that combined a black velvet halter-neck bodice with a lavender satin skirt. A playful bow, a cut-out below the bust and a thigh-high slit added edge, while the contrasting textures brought balance. It was a look that underscored her growing comfort with statement silhouettes.
As the newly appointed Indian ambassador for Chanel, Panday spent time in Lake Como for the maison’s Resort 2025/26 show. Between boat rides, Italian meals and scenic landscapes, her wardrobe leaned into classic Chanel codes—twirly dresses, oversized sunglasses and signature shoulder bags. The Italian diary moments felt relaxed yet aspirational, capturing the spirit of resort dressing through Panday’s lens.
The Kesari 2 actress returned to the sari, choosing a look that was both sculptural and understated for an event. She wore an ivory Masaba Gupta sari styled with a metallic gold strapless blouse that introduced a clean, corset-like structure. Styled by Priyanka Kapadia, the look relied on subtle detailing. A fine gold sequin border, a layered pearl choker from Gazdar Jewellers and a crescent-shaped clutch. Soft makeup and a relaxed updo ensured the ensemble stayed elegant rather than overworked.
The actress gave everyone the perfect inspo for a casual brunch outing, Panday paired a baby blue striped Ganni knit vest with a white denim mini skirt. A black quilted Chanel handbag and matching Chanel Mary Janes tied the look together, proving her everyday wardrobe is just as thoughtfully curated.
The time had come to dial up the drama and a vacation in Mykonos called for just that. Panday shimmered in a pink Mirchi by Kim minidress, dripping in sequins and adorned with blooming fuchsia roses. A beaded fringe hemline added movement, while defined eyes and glossy nude lips completed the party-ready look.
She is often known for choosing simple saris paired with statement blouses. For Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai, she chose an Arpita Mehta sari from the Ranibagh collection in warm olive. Styled by Ami Patel, the featherlight georgette sari featured mirror work and zardozi detailing, paired with a fully embellished blouse with a sweetheart neckline and jhumki-style tassels. Draped in a classic nivi style with a short pallu, the look balanced ceremony, comfort and craftsmanship.
Redifining cut-out dresses, Panday stepped onto the red carpet at the Filmfare Glamour and Style Awards 2025 in a metallic rose Krésha Bajaj gown from the designer’s Dubai Fashion Week presentation, The Archive of Hidden Things. Drawn from the chapter titled Liberation. The body-skimming silhouette featured dense micro-beading, sheer side panels and a sculpted bust. The perfect exploration of movement, ease and exposure. Styled by Priyanka Kapadia Badani and team, the look highlighted Panday’s red-carpet confidence.
The festive season brought a new wave of style. Panday dazzled in a body-fitted golden lehenga paired with a sculpted bralette blouse and statement dupatta. Sequins and crystals caught the Diwali lights, while her assured presence amplified the look’s celebratory impact.
Towards the end of the year she brought colour and craft to the forefront. Panday wore a multicoloured Mayyur Girotra lehenga rich with hand embroidery, mirror work and vibrant thread detailing. Jewel-toned motifs, florals and paisleys unfolded across the voluminous skirt, while a modern cropped blouse and playful tassel detailing at the back made it a perfect mehendi-ready ensemble.
She closed the year on a high-glam note at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025. Panday shimmered in an archival Elie Saab gold gown, featuring intricate detailing, a sculpted silhouette and a halter neckline. A subtle slit added modern ease, while her sleek updo and minimal accessories allowed the gown to take centre stage.
Ananya Panday’s 2025 fashion story was all about refinement. As she stepped into the shoes of being Chanel’s Indian ambassador, she appeared to discover a strong sense of self. Her looks also elevated Indian craftsmanship and along with that she exuded confidence on the red carpet. Her lookbook reflects a star growing into her style.
