If there’s one thing we love more than a celebrity wedding, it’s their first post-wedding appearance and Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee are making sure we don’t recover anytime soon. After tying the knot in a gorgeous ceremony on May 6, 2025, the stylish couple turned heads again at their wedding reception in Hyderabad on May 8, and honestly? We’re still not over the looks.
Let’s start with the bride. Zainab Ravdjee looked like a pastel dream in a peach-hued floor-length gown that had delicate lace detailing sprinkled all over. Think vintage elegance meets modern-day fairytale. The fitted bodice, the flowing skirt, and those dainty accessories, yes please! She completed her look with dangling statement earrings and a bold neckpiece, keeping her bridal glow intact but switching up the vibe from traditional to glam.
As for Akhil? The man knows how to keep it classic with a twist. He stepped out in a crisp white blazer, styled with sharp black trousers and a black bow tie, giving major old-school gentleman energy. Together, they looked like a Vogue cover waiting to happen.
But wait, it gets better. The reception guest list was practically a who’s who of the film world. Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar made an appearance looking sharp, and Suriya added that cool South star swag. The moment that melted the internet, though? Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala (yes, that couple) showed up and posed with the newlyweds for what might just be the most stylish family photo of 2025.
And if you’re still wondering what their wedding looked like, let us paint the picture. The May 6 ceremony was all about understated elegance. Zainab went full vintage goddess in an ivory sari paired with a golden blouse, the kind of look you bookmark for your own shaadi Pinterest board. Akhil kept things minimal and traditional in a white kurta-dhoti combo, letting his bride shine like the star she is.
Akhil and Zainab’s love story, which went public with their engagement on November 26, 2024, has kept fans swooning. And with each appearance, they’re proving they’re not just a power couple in lov, but total fashion icons too.
So here’s to just married style done right. Can we start a petition for more looks from these two, please?
