Preity wore a minimalistic black toga dress at Paris Couture Week
Preity attended the Stephane Rolland show at Paris Couture Week and wore one of his creations. The black one-shoulder toga dress from the designer's collection showcased a minimalistic silhouette inspired by the 90s that blends the fluidity of drapes with clean lines.
She accessorized the ensemble with platform heels, a gold cuff bracelet, and a black clutch. Her tresses were in a twisted bun with side-sweeping strands gently falling on her glowing visage, highlighted with subtle wing liner and light pink pout.
Preity’s strapless Rahul Mishra gown is the modern-day version of 90s sequin dresses
For Rahul Mishra’s fashion show in Paris, Preity wore a figure-hugging white gown from his collection. It had a strapless sweetheart neckline, delicate sequinned embellishment reminiscent of the 90s, and sheer detail at the bottom.
She carried an ivory clutch, a solitaire, and a silver bracelet that sparkled on her ears and wrist while peep-toe heels completed her attire. Preity went with voluminous side-swept waves for hair and make-up that took the spotlight, and her glam was glowy yet pared back.
PZ gives her Diwali look a 90s spin with peacock blue velvet slit Anarkali
Slitted kurtas were all the rage in the nineties, and this luxe velvet Anarkali of Preity brings back that ethnic trend. She wore a custom-made peacock blue Anarkali by Sureena Chowdhri. Her floo-kissing festive kurta set featured antique gold aari and zardozi embroidery on its V-shaped neckline and hem, accentuated with beadwork and sequins.
She paired her regal Anarkali with a matching scallop-trimmed dupatta. Accessorizing with a potli bag, statement jhumkas, rings, traditional bracelets, and gold heels, Preity sported a sleek hairstyle and completed her understated glam with a black micro bindi.
Preity’s embroidered kurta set by MM is a new take on 90’s pink
Many leading ladies in 90s movies would don pink chiffon salwar suits, and Preity’s Eid look is a nod to the popularity of this saccharine hue. She wears an ivory dori embroidered short kurta with a matching palazzo and a dupatta by Manish Malhotra. PZ’s pretty-in-pink festive look has breezy silhouettes that give a touch of modernity.
She accessorized with polki chaadbalis and opted for a layered, side-swept hairstyle, smoky eyes, and a glossy peach-pink pout to elevate her graceful ethnic look.

Polka dots were a well-loved print in the nineties, and we all adored those minidresses worn by our favorite sitcom starlets. This casual look of Preity in a red number with short sleeves and a V-neck gives us a fashion flashback.
Preity complemented her dress with a retro updo and sported her signature minimalist make-up. Her accessories included a dainty gold necklace, rings, bracelets, a wristwatch, and hoop earrings. She paired her little red polka dress with white high-top sneakers, another 90s style inspired by the grunge and hip-hop scene.
From playful prints to exquisite ethnic outfits and sleek high-fashion looks, PZ’s sartorial nods to the 90s blend nostalgia and modern elegance.
