The structured satin ensemble was paired with a dramatic matching stole that added movement to the look.

Styled by celebrity stylist Tanvi Ghavri, the actor completed the appearance with statement diamond-and-emerald jewellery, including the High Jewelry Turaco necklace featuring 53-carat diamonds and rare green Sannan Skarn stones, matching earrings, and a Concorde pear-shaped diamond ring in 18k white gold.

Her beauty look, created by hairstylist Aamir Naveed and makeup artist Meera Sakhrani, leaned into vintage glamour with a sleek pulled-back bun, softly sculpted makeup, winged eyeliner and a nude lip palette.

The Women In Cinema Gala is hosted annually by the Red Sea Film Foundation to celebrate female talent shaping the international film industry.

On the film front, Tara Sutaria will next be seen starring in the highly anticipated pan-India action film 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups.'

The first glimpse of the film was unveiled in January earlier this year. The two-minute, fifty-two-second clip offered a striking glimpse into Yash's intense and enigmatic character as Raya.

Set against the backdrop of a cemetery, the teaser opened with a blaze of action, with gunfire cutting through the silence, signaling the arrival of Yash as the composed, fearless, and unflinching Raya with a Tommy gun.

Tara Sutaria plays Rebecca, a character shown as charming yet hard to read.

The film also stars Huma Qureshi, Kiara Advani, and Nayanthara in key roles.

Kiara plays Nadia, a character shown as calm but carrying deep emotions. Huma Qureshi appears as Elizabeth, a sharp and dangerous presence.

Nayanthara is seen as Ganga, a role that changes the balance of power in the story. Rukmini Vasanth essays Mellisa, a figure with quiet control.

'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups' is written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas.

The makers of the movie recently announced that the release date of the movie has been postponed and it will not arrive in theatres on June 4, 2026.

Backed by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, the film was first slated for a March 19 release before being moved to June 4.

The new release date of the movie has not been announced yet.
