Samantha Ruth Prabhu has officially set the tone for the promotions of her upcoming film Maa Inti Bangaaram, and she’s doing it the way she does best, through quiet elegance and thoughtful fashion. Launching
what she calls the “Bapu Bomma Series,” the actor described the visuals as “an ode to the artist who made softness powerful and simplicity unforgettable,” a sentiment that translated seamlessly into her understated traditional look.
Over the years, Samantha’s wardrobe has evolved into a compelling mix of high-fashion silhouettes and rooted, conscious choices. Whether she’s stepping out in couture gowns or spotlighting handwoven Indian textiles, her style consistently balances grace with intent. This latest promotional appearance is yet another example.
Inside Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s ‘Bapu Bomma’ look
Shared on January 10, the photos feature Samantha draped in a serene palette of ivory, blush pink, and muted gold. The look was styled by Open House Studio, with the saree coming from sustainable luxury label Anavila. Jewellery credits include Tribe by Amrapali for the statement pieces and Srifine Jewellery for the bangles.

The saree itself reimagines Anavila’s signature linen drape, crafted in breathable fabric, adorned with gota hand embroidery, and finished with delicate French lace along the borders. Samantha wore it in a classic, no-fuss drape, letting the pallu fall naturally over her shoulder, reinforcing the softness of the overall aesthetic.
She paired the saree with a vintage rose satin blouse from the brand’s archives. The blouse stood out with its deep U-shaped neckline, daring open back, cropped length, and half sleeves adding a subtle modern contrast to the otherwise traditional ensemble.
Jewellery, beauty, and finishing touches
Accessories were kept elegant and rooted: a traditional choker necklace, coordinated statement earrings, and slim gold bangles completed the look. Her hair was styled into a relaxed half-updo, lending a lived-in charm rather than polished perfection.
Makeup followed the same philosophy, feathered brows, softly smoked eyes, mascara-defined lashes, flushed cheeks, glossy pink lips, and a luminous highlighter that enhanced her natural glow without overpowering it.
Internet reactions: all hearts
Unsurprisingly, the internet was quick to fall in love with the look. Fellow actors and fans alike flooded the comments with admiration. Disha Patani called her “Beautiful,” while Manushi Chillar wrote, “How pretty.” Fans echoed similar sentiments, with comments ranging from heart-eye emojis to heartfelt notes like, “You are as gorgeous as your beautiful heart,” and the inevitable, “How can you be this beautiful?”
With this soft, soulful appearance, Samantha Ruth Prabhu has not only kicked off her film promotions but also reaffirmed her place as a modern muse for timeless Indian fashion.
