Pictures and videos of Urvashi on the red carpet are making the rounds on social media, with mixed reactions. To walk the carpet, the actor wore a strapless structured dress in blue, red, and yellow. She finished the ensemble with a matching tiara. But all eyes were on the parrot-embedded clutch she was carrying. One photo shows her holding up the bird-shaped purse and kissing it while striking a pose. Diet Sabya’s Instagram profile states the clutch is made by Judith Leiber and costs $5,495 (₹4,68,064.10).
Internet reactions
The internet was delighted to see Urvashi’s costume. One commenter joked, “So beautiful and elegant, it just looks like a design machine studio.” Another said, “I’m such a fan.” An Instagram user even asked, “Was Daku Maharaj shown at the festival?” One user said, “Slay,” while another said, “Giving ‘Moulin Rouge meets Mayur Vihar’ realness.” One fan just asked whether Urvashi was being campy: “Is it a satire on camp?” An Instagram user even stated that she was ‘hogging the red carpet and asked to leave.’
At the same time, not all responses were critical. Social media personality Orry and actor Bhumi Pednekar were among those who praised Urvashi for her daring fashion statement.
