Ananya Panday’s latest Instagram post has everyone talking, as she steps into the festive season draped in a golden creation by Manish Malhotra. Captioned “Bessssst time of the year  @manishmalhotra05 ,” the post quickly made waves across social media—its clean studio frame highlighting the intricate handwork and luxurious texture of the look.
The ensemble blends traditional craftsmanship with modern sensuality—a crystal-embellished bustier paired with a sculpted draped skirt, shimmering in chevron beadwork. A sheer pallu completes the silhouette, balancing the metallic richness with soft transparency.

Ananya keeps her styling minimal—just statement jhumkas and a single cocktail ring—allowing the embroidery to remain the visual focus. Her understated choices complement the gold tones without diluting their glamour.
Following her digital debut Call Me Bae (Prime Video, 2024) and her theatrical turn in Kesari Chapter 2 (April 2025), Panday is set to close the year with Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, releasing 31 December 2025. Another project, Chand Mera Dil, is listed for 2025 with details yet to be announced.
