Social media is currently abuzz with photos from Shikhar Dhawan’s wedding reception. The cricketer tied the knot with his foreign fiancée Sophie Shine, whose bridal elegance instantly became the center of attention. Following her wedding, Sophie outshone even the wives of fellow cricketers, including Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina, with her regal and stylish look.

Sophie’s Designer Ensemble

Sophie chose a draped swirl skirt set designed by Manish Malhotra for the reception. The outfit details are:

• Piece: Draped swirl skirt set
• Color: Ivory
• Fabric: Silk
• Price: ₹395,000 (as per official website)

The skirt featured soft pleats at the bottom, creating a flowing and elegant silhouette with a mermaid-style fit. Minimal embellishments were used, with the drama and grandeur coming entirely from the pleats. The skirt’s fit complemented her figure beautifully, offering a modern yet traditional bridal vibe.

Blouse and Accessories

The highlight of Sophie’s reception look was her nude-colored blouse adorned with pearls and stones. Round pearl detailing along the neckline gave a statement jewelry effect, while the sparkling stones added elegance. The combination perfectly paired with the draped skirt, balancing modernity with desi charm.

Completing her bridal ensemble, Sophie wore sindoor, light peach chooda on her henna-adorned hands, and paired the outfit with diamond drop earrings, creating a cohesive newlywed look. Soft curls and nude glam makeup finished the ensemble, maintaining elegance without overpowering her attire.

Other Guests

• Ritika Sajdeh (Rohit Sharma’s wife): Opted for an Indo-Western outfit—a peach-colored dress with asymmetrical pleats and a V-neckline, paired with matching pants and a gold-embellished long jacket. The modern design added movement and a chic party vibe, but could not outshine Sophie’s mermaid-style skirt and pearl blouse.
• Priyanka Raina (Suresh Raina’s wife): Chose a blue and silver sequined saree with cutout detailing and pleated pallu, paired with matching sleeveless blouse. Though her diamond necklace and accessories impressed, Sophie’s ensemble remained the focal point.

Styling Tips from Sophie’s Look:

• Pearl-jewelled blouses elevate any simple lehenga, giving a statement jewelry effect.
• For minimal brides, add pearl embellishments to the dupatta edge for an elegant touch.
• Pair pearl chokers or layered necklaces with pastel or ivory outfits for a soft, royal bridal vibe.
• Incorporate pearl hair accessories in buns or braids for a fairytale effect.
• Small pearl kalire with chooda add a modern twist to traditional bridal attire.
• Avoid overdoing pearls; one or two elements are enough to create a classy, sophisticated look.

Sophie Shine’s reception look demonstrates how a well-styled ensemble, thoughtful detailing, and subtle accessories can make a bride the center of attention, setting a benchmark for modern bridal fashion in India.
