Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been hitting the headlines as she chopped her pristine white gown and repurposed it to create a sultry outfit. The actress wore the original gown at her Christian wedding with her ex-husband, Naga Chaitanya, in 2016. The beautiful dress was designed by her close friend and designer, Kresha Bajaj. However, as Samantha and Chaitanya announced their separation in October 2021, the former decided to revamp her wedding dress.
On April 25, 2024, Samantha Ruth Prabhu took to her IG handle and dropped some pictures of herself dressed in a black-hued sultry dress. The outfit had a sheer bottom and a fully-embellished corset-style top. The actress revealed that she created the cocktail dress after cutting her beloved wedding gown, which was embellished with beading and floral applique. Samantha wore the dress to an award show, where she was named the 'Leaders of Change (female)'. She wrote in her caption:
