Madelaine Petsch delivers a lesson in effortless chic, appearing on a Wednesday morning show in a subtle, monochromatic look—a refreshing shift from her usual vibrant, high-impact style.
Madelaine Petsch unveils a sophisticated and airy two-piece set that redefines professional-casual with a modern twist. The look features a light, almost translucent pale mint button-up shirt, worn with an unbuttoned collar and tied at the waist, creating a playful, cropped silhouette. This styling choice—along with the wide, flared cuffs that elegantly drape over her wrists—adds a softness to the otherwise sharp lines of the outfit. Paired with a matching knee-length pencil skirt, the ensemble presents a unified, elongated form. The fabric appears to be a lightweight silk or fine chiffon, giving the outfit a gentle, flowing quality that seems to move with her.
Avantika’s mirrored moment at the Banquet of Cleopatra was pure theatrical excess—voluminous sleeves, pink stilettos, and a blue so bold it bordered on operatic.
There’s something deliciously defiant about showing up to a masked ball dressed like the heroine of a Technicolor opera. Avantika did just that at Save Venice’s Un Ballo in Maschera 2025, held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York—a venue already steeped in drama, now eclipsed by her entrance.
The look? A study in saturated grandeur. Her off-the-shoulder dress, rendered in electric blue satin, caught the light like a stage curtain mid-rise. The fabric’s sheen wasn’t just decorative—it was declarative. Voluminous sleeves ballooned with baroque bravado, cinched at the waist by a matching belt that gave the silhouette a regal hourglass shape. The skirt flowed with a kind of cinematic sweep, as if designed for slow-motion entrances and dramatic exits.
Accessories were chosen with a wink. A statement necklace—chunky, crystalline, unapologetically maximalist—anchored the neckline, while pink pointed-toe heels added a jolt of unexpected sweetness. The shoes, almost bubblegum in hue, felt like a deliberate clash, a reminder that this Cleopatra had a sense of humor.
Avantika’s strapless sparkle—equal parts Bollywood heirloom and Gotham edge—brought a moody glamour to Sabyasachi’s milestone fête in New York.
There’s a certain kind of fashion moment that doesn’t scream—it simmers. At Sabyasachi’s 25th Anniversary Celebration in New York on September 9, 2025, Avantika delivered exactly that: a look that felt ceremonial, cinematic, and quietly subversive.
The gown? A strapless black column, fitted to precision and scattered with white and silver embellishments that caught the light like stardust. The sparkle wasn’t loud—it was deliberate, like constellations mapped across midnight silk. The silhouette hugged her frame with a statuesque elegance, flaring ever so slightly at the hem to suggest movement without drama. It was the kind of dress that could have walked straight out of a Sabyasachi bridal archive, reimagined for a downtown gala.
But it was the accessories that shifted the mood. Multiple colorful bangles stacked on both wrists—red, green, gold—added a jolt of cultural vibrancy, a nod to South Asian tradition that felt refreshingly unfiltered. A black choker anchored the neckline, adding a touch of punk to the otherwise regal ensemble. No earrings, no clutch—just wrists ablaze and a neck that said, “Don’t underestimate restraint.”
The setting—a boutique-like room with ornate wooden cabinetry and rich textiles hanging in the background—felt intimate, almost sacred. Avantika stood with relaxed poise, her long dark hair cascading loosely over her shoulders, the lighting warm and flattering. It wasn’t a typical red carpet tableau—it was something more personal, more curated. Like stepping into a designer’s private archive.
