Just when we thought that the wedding season was over, newly-weds Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain dropped their reception pictures and stole the limelight yet again. "There is no such cozy combination as man and wife," read Ankita Lokhande's Instagram caption, and we couldn't agree more. After wearing a stunning Manish Malhotra lehenga for her wedding on December 14, Ankita Lokhande opted for a classic Sabyasachi red Benarasi saree for her reception, with vermilion adding on to her look. From the gajra in her hair, statement gold jewellery to a beautiful smile, Ankita Lokhande was an elegant and beautiful bride. She completed her look with dewy makeup and a red bindi.

This surely takes us down memory lane as four years ago, we saw Anushka Sharma wearing a similar Benarasi saree for her wedding reception with Virat Kohli in Delhi. The styling looked similar as the actress too opted for a Sabyasachi look. While Ankita Lokhande was styled by Priyanka Castelino, Anushka Sharma's styling was done by her stylist Allia Al Rufai. Both the brides looked amazing in the oh-so-popular Sabyasachi statement sarees.
Another Bollywood celebrity who was a classic Sabyasachi bride was Patralekhaa. She looked picture perfect in a "red tulle embroidered buti sari paired with an embroidered veil, that is inscribed with a Bengali verse penned by Sabyasachi for the couple to mark their special day."
Coming back to Ankita-Vicky, the groom too looked happy and dashing in his outfit by Rachit Khanna. He wore a black kurta pyjama with gold detail on it. Red and black together surely makes a classic combination.
From her mehendi ceremony to reception look, Ankita Lokhande made sure to set fashion goals. Her outfits showcased various Indian traditional crafts - not just Benarasi silk but the traditional Maharashtrian-style saree too.
Time and again, saree has been the favourite outfit for most of our Bollywood fashion divas. Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, and the list goes on. Ankita Lokhande is a proud saree lover too and we can't wait to see more stunning looks from this star.
