The gown stands out as a modern couture masterpiece, defined by its strapless, sculpted corset bodice and fluid, curved panelling that sweeps across the torso, forming a shell-like 3D silhouette.
Below the structured top, the design softens into a billowing, layered chiffon skirt, its airy movement adding theatrical flair with every step. A copper-toned pleated sash cinches the hips, introducing a metallic contrast against the pure ivory fabric and showcasing an elegant blend of textures.
Elevating the look further, Rida accessorised with sparkling diamond pieces from Sennes, complemented by a high, voluminous, textured updo that completed her regal aesthetic.
Taking to Instagram, Nikhil Gajare Couture shared a video explaining the inspiration and what made him make the dress the way it is. He said, “Ganga in Sanskrit means she who flows, the gown has been inspired by it, I have made the fall of the fabric drape into the skirt, making it look like a standout piece.”

As Ganga’s fresh water pearls, the detailing on the waist is along the copper-toned pleats. It starts with the fabric. When you understand the mood of the fabrics and materials you are using, a masterpiece like this is created, he added.
