The Karleo dress is a perfect blend of elegant eveningwear and bridal elegance. Meanwhile, Radhika and Ankitha's styling adds a minimal, understated glamour, blending vintage-inspired femininity with contemporary boldness. The duo kept the structured ivory corset the focal point of the look, balancing it with a satin skirt.
Crafted in delicate lace and embellished with pearl detailing along the sweetheart neckline and hem, the corset features a strapless design, front button closures, structured boning that highlights her curves, and a fitted silhouette that creates a sculpted shape while adding a touch of couture drama.
The sleek satin mermaid skirt skims the body before flowing into a subtle train. The fluidity of the skirt adds a beautiful contrast to the corset's structured silhouette. Meanwhile, the monochromatic ivory palette keeps the look refined and timeless.
To keep her look refined, Jyotika tied her tresses in a sleek, centre-parted ponytail that draws attention to her collarbones and toned, muscular arms. To accessorise the statement ensemble, she chose chandelier earrings to add sparkle without overwhelming the ensemble.
For the glam, she went with minimal makeup: defined eyes accentuated with shimmering eyeshadow, a neutral lip shade, on-fleek brows, mascara-coated lashes, beaming highlighter, and rouged cheeks. The styling exudes quiet luxury, just as the sensual ensemble does.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Jyotika was most recently seen in Srikanth (2024) and the web series Dabba Cartel (2025). Her latest release is System. Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, it also stars Sonakshi Sinha and Ashutosh Gowariker in lead roles. The film will be released on Prime Video on May 22.
