When it comes to vacation fashion, Ananya Panday opts for a light, breezy, and fun style. Following the success of “Dream Girl 2,” the actor is taking a well-deserved break in Budapest and showcasing some casual yet stylish outfits. Recently, she shared a carousel on her Instagram, featuring two laid-back looks perfect for autumn outings with friends.
In the first ensemble, Panday wore a blue and purple tank top from Urban Outfitters, paired with a white denim skirt with a frayed edge. She completed the look with what appeared to be Hermès Oran sandals in calfskin leather, ideal for comfortable strolls. Panday added a touch of luxury with her choice of accessories, including the 2019 blue and red Damier Monogram Denim Patchwork Multi Pochette bag from Louis Vuitton, featuring a gold chain strap. This hybrid crossbody bag was part of the Year of the Rat capsule collection. The classic blue and white combination exuded a youthful vibe, with splashes of red and purple from the bag and the top, preventing the look from being too bland.
Another outfit Panday showcased included a black puffer jacket, a white cropped tank top, and washed denim straight-fit jeans. This simple yet stylish combination perfectly represents Gen Z fashion and is ideal for streetwear. While both looks capture the essence of Y2K style, the first one is all about denim.
In 2023, noughties style continues to make a strong comeback, with denim playing a prominent role. It’s clear that Y2K fashion and denim are here to stay, as seen not only on Ananya Panday but also on celebrities like Dua Lipa and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Designers are also getting creative with denim, such as the Diesel Resort 2024 collection, which features fabric manipulation and washes to give denim a metallic effect. More recently, Dion Lee’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection at NYFW gave denim separates a twist with a bulky laminated look. Denim-on-denim outfits were part of his collection, including a denim bra paired with ombre jeans. LacQuan Smith also incorporated plenty of denim separates into his collection, highlighting the enduring popularity of denim in the world of fashion.
