Ananya Panday’s yellow Mulmul kurta moment proves quiet devotional style is the internet’s new obsession

Whenever we talk about Bollywood fashion, we automatically imagine sequins, modish cuts, flared silhouettes, and a maximalist aesthetic. However, the air of fashion in Bollywood is gradually changing, where sartorial choices are becoming more real and relatable.

It's rightly said that fashion moments do not always need flashbulbs and sequins, Bollywood’s current fashionista, Ananya Panday, arrived in her most subtle look, which is now becoming everyone’s favourite on the internet.





Ananya is mostly known for her high-octane red sparkles, but for her temple day out, she took the gentler route and kept things simple and relatable. From seeking Mahadev’s blessing to feeding cows, she embraced a grounded day, where her wardrobe felt effortless, raw, and unfiltered.

Keeping a traditional setup, she simply turned towards a yellow kurta set from the homegrown brand Mulmul, which leaned towards breathability and comfort. Crafted from light cotton fabric, which allowed the swift moving of air, this summer-ready wear felt relatable to her fans.

The kurta featured an all-over Gadh-inspired print, which did not overwhelm the whole setup, and came with a mid-length cut and a balanced structure with a Y-placket neckline accented with thread tassels and shells. These small details felt absolutely artisanal and effortlessly pleasing.

The ladder lace inserts with geometric borders traced around the hemline added subtle notes of craftsmanship, which distinctly looked Indian and absolutely thoughtful. She matched the look with printed pants, which echo the same motifs and created a balanced set that felt soft and personal. And the final addition was her matching organza dupatta, which carried a romantic motion in the air.

The sheer organza silhouette came with trimmed lace and delicate tassels, which lent an ethereal finish and felt like sunlight caught in fabric. Elevating the cotton base without disrupting the cohesiveness, she made this ensemble a perfect fit for everyday fashion, as it ticks all the boxes of being comfortable, personal, and simply iconic, of course.

With no statement accessories, she simply wore a pair of diamond studs and opted for barely-there makeup, where she allowed her skin to breathe. Leaving her natural locks open, she made the look viral because of her simplicity.

There’s no one thing in her look that is unique; however, it became a statement, as Ananya Panday, being a fashion icon, is channelling the minimal route, so why can't we do the same with absolute pride? This soft and sacred look is thus going viral online, where fans are now embracing her for being real and relatable.
