From red anarkali to yellow suit: Rashmika Mandanna’s newlywed glow steals the spotlight

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s wedding may have been the big moment fans had been waiting for, but their first few appearances after the celebrations are what really made it feel special. The newlyweds stepped out looking relaxed, smiling easily, and very much wrapped up in that quiet just-married glow. And once again, designer Anamika Khanna was behind their looks, keeping the visual story consistent from wedding to post-wedding outings.

Rashmika embraces new-bride tradition in red

After returning from their Udaipur celebrations, the couple - fondly called “ViRosh” by fans - stopped to greet photographers waiting to catch a glimpse of them. Rashmika chose to lean fully into tradition. She wore a bright red anarkali suit, the kind of colour that instantly signals a new bride without needing explanation. It didn’t feel dramatic or over-styled. Just warm, familiar, and deeply rooted in tradition.

Soft glamour and heritage details

The suit featured delicate gold detailing that subtly echoed her bridal sari. You could see the continuity. Nothing loud, nothing excessive. Her makeup stayed soft, jewellery minimal, and a simple bindi tied the whole look together. It felt less like a celebrity appearance and more like a bride stepping into her new phase of life naturally.

Vijay keeps it modern yet traditional

Vijay kept things equally easygoing. He wore a greyish-silver kurta pyjama set that balanced tradition with a modern touch. After the heavier tones of his wedding outfit, this look felt lighter and more relaxed. The fabric had a slight sheen that added polish, but overall, the focus stayed on the couple rather than the clothes.

And honestly, what people noticed most wasn’t fashion - it was their comfort with each other. After keeping their relationship largely private for nearly eight years, they seemed unusually open. Walking hand in hand through the airport, they smiled at photographers, greeted everyone with folded hands, and even threw a few playful flying kisses. It didn’t feel staged. Just two people finally okay with sharing their happiness publicly.

The appearance followed their intimate yet grand wedding at ITC Mementos, Ekaaya Udaipur. The celebrations blended Telugu and Kodava traditions, reflecting both families and their cultural roots. There were fun moments, like the “Virosh Premier League” poolside games, alongside emotional rituals - including a sari gifted by Vijay’s mother during the Kodava ceremony. The wedding felt personal despite all the attention surrounding it.

And Rashmika’s traditional streak continued soon after. She was later seen in a vibrant yellow suit while visiting Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Vijay to personally invite him to their Hyderabad reception on March 4. Vijay chose an all-white outfit, keeping things understated. Photos from the meeting quickly made their way online, showing the couple presenting a shawl during the visit.

They also met Home Minister Amit Shah, handing over a formal wedding invitation along with a silver idol of Lord Ganesh placed inside an ornate box. The meetings marked another public moment for a couple that had spent years protecting their privacy. Some reports suggested that the meeting happened prior to the wedding, the couple is yet to confirm the same.

So far, Rashmika’s post-wedding wardrobe tells a clear story. First the red anarkali. Then the yellow suit. Both traditional, both graceful, and refreshingly uncomplicated. No dramatic style shift, no excessive glamour. Just a new bride embracing culture, comfort, and quiet elegance - and maybe that’s exactly why fans can’t stop talking about these appearances.
