Summary: Samantha Ruth Prabhu donned a black bodice gown to a recent awards ceremony. You'll be stunned to learn that it's the same gown she wore at her dream wedding in 2017.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu drew attention when she attended the Elle Sustainability Awards on Thursday evening. Her monotone beaded bodice gown caught everyone's attention in more ways than one. You'll be amazed to know that it's the same white gown she wore at her dream wedding to her former husband, Naga Chaitanya, in 2017.

Samantha stood out at the occasion in a unique corset gown designed by renowned fashion designer Kresha Bajaj. The monochrome gown fit her like a glove, with a structured corset and a layered skirt accented with a flower embroidery design.

Designer Kresha Bajaj posted a video showing the outfit's dramatic makeover. Kresha Bajaj and Samantha collaborated on a post that detailed the full process of creating the outfit.

"There are always new memories to create. There are always fresh avenues to take. There are always new stories to share. We enjoyed collaborating with our muse, Samantha, to help her create a fresh memory and convey a different story. Beauty lasts forever. It can also change shape daily. For Samantha Ruth Prabhu, for an awards show."

Samantha took to Instagram to discuss the significance of sustainability and how she appreciated working with Kresha on this look. Samantha stated, "We must not ignore sustainability anymore. We're past the point where it was a decision. It is now necessary for the survival of our home planet. The gown I'm wearing today was repurposed for this occasion by the incredibly amazing @kreshabajajofficial.

She went on to say, "While that may seem insignificant or entitled to many, I assure you that repurposing my old clothes is just one of many steps I am consciously taking to change my habits and make my lifestyle more sustainable. And every little gesture, every definitive action, is significant. It all adds up, and I urge myself and all of you who wish me well to make those small efforts. Thank you."

Samantha was styled by Preetham Jukalkar. Samantha looked stunning, with hair and cosmetics done by Daksh Nidhi and Avni Rambhia. She had an old Hollywood charm. She added a necklace from Drip Project by MetaMan Jewelry as an accessory.

Samantha will soon be seen in Raj & DK's web series Citadel: Honey Bunny, alongside Varun Dhawan. The Indian adaptation of the US series Citadel stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden.
