Nabha Natesh Shines in Ivory Lehenga at Nagabandham Trailer Launch

Nabha Natesh brought royal, festive glamour to the trailer launch of the much-anticipated pan-Indian epic “Nagabandham,” trading the usual saree drape for a stunning ivory-gold lehenga set.

Ivory-Gold Embroidered Lehenga

For the trailer launch, Nabha Natesh chose a regal ivory lehenga set, heavily embroidered with intricate gold zardozi and gota-patti work in vertical leaf and paisley motifs running across the skirt. The hemline featured a striking contrast border in coral-pink, orange, and gold, woven with traditional paisley patterns that added richness and depth to the overall ivory base — a colour combination that read as both bridal and festive without tipping into full wedding-wear territory.

Scalloped Gold Detailing Blouse and Dupatta

The matching elbow-sleeve blouse mirrored the lehenga’s embroidery, with dense gold floral and paisley threadwork covering the bodice and sleeves, finished with a deep V-neckline trimmed in pink piping. Draped over one shoulder, the sheer ivory dupatta featured an elaborate scalloped gold border with floral medallions, giving the entire ensemble a regal, finished look reminiscent of traditional South Indian bridal wear — fitting for a film rooted in temple mythology and sacred ritual.

True to the film’s spiritual theme, Nabha Natesh leaned into temple jewellery for her accessories — a layered gold choker necklace studded with rubies and emeralds and finished with a pearl trim and a pendant drop, paired with matching gold jhumka earrings. Nabha wore her hair in loose, side-swept waves with a subtle half-up styling, allowing her statement jewellery and embroidered neckline to stay visible. Her makeup followed a classic glam routine — winged kohl eyes, soft contouring, a traditional red bindi, and a rosy-mauve lip — all coming together to complement the ivory-gold palette of her outfit.
