Dressed in an elegant black gown designed by Gaurav Gupta, Advani chose a look titled Bravehearts.
The ensemble symbolised the journey of motherhood, with a gold breastplate at its centre, crafted to represent both a mother’s and a baby’s heart.
The two were connected by a chain designed to resemble an umbilical cord, turning the outfit into a piece of wearable storytelling.
The gown featured an off-shoulder design, while a dramatic double-layered cape added depth and movement to her look.

This cape was intended as a tribute to the late André Leon Talley, the legendary fashion editor known for his bold, statement-making capes and silhouettes.
Her accessories were deliberately asymmetrical: a long dangler earring on one ear, paired with an ear cuff on the other, along with minimal yet bold rings.
Her fresh, glowing look featured soft smoky eyes, peach lips, flushed cheeks, and loose curls parted at the centre.
In a statement, Advani shared that this moment felt “incredibly special,” both as an artist and a mother-to-be.
She thanked stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania and designer Gaurav Gupta for capturing her motherhood journey in line with the theme “The Garden of Time.”
