In New Delhi, this past weekend saw a full schedule jam-packed with G20 events held from September 8 to 10, 2023. While politics took centre stage, fashion had more than a few noteworthy moments with so many dignitaries and their wives attending the summit from all over the world. Here are a few of the looks from their style books that caught our attention. Let's start with the ethnic looks that looked absolutely elegant and graceful. From British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's wife, Akshata Murty to Japanese PM Fumio Kishida's wife Yuko Kishida, many first ladies dared to go ethnic at the event.
For the G20 dinner hosted by President Droupadi Murmu at the Bharat Mandapam, Akshata picked a multi-coloured floral gown. It featured full sleeves, and a vibrant colour palette in shades of coral pink, sky blue and mint green with delicate floral print.
For the millet exhibition at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute the G20 Spouses Programme hosted by Kyoko, the wife of India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Akshata picked a lilac midi dress. The chic outfit featured soft prints with puff sleeves and a layered hemline.
Yuko Kishida, the wife of Japanese PM Fumio Kishida wore a traditional Kanjeevaram saree in a deep green hue with gold and pink patti borders with zari work to add contrast to her look. She also wore a contrasting pink blouse.
