Bridgerton's own Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, Jonathan Bailey, recently traded his Regency-era tailoring for an outfit that’s decidedly more contemporary—and Indian. The actor completely stole the show when he stepped out in a stunning 'desi' look while attending the picturesque wedding of his friends and fellow actors, Sacha Dhawan and Anjli Mohindra, in Italy. His fashion choice was an elegant surprise that instantly became a viral sensation, with fans universally praising his flawless embrace of South Asian attire.
The Dashing Desi Ensemble
Bailey's outfit for the wedding ceremony was a masterclass in understated elegance, perfectly blending traditional Indian silhouettes with a modern, fresh aesthetic. The base of the ensemble was a crisp, flowing white kurta paired with matching straight-cut trousers, often referred to as a kurta-pyjama. Layered over this, he wore a tailored, structured Nehru-style jacket in a subtle, sophisticated powder blue shade. This sleeveless vest, featuring a high-banded collar and metallic buttons, elevated the entire look, making it suitable for the joyous occasion. The ensemble was a perfect choice for the multicultural celebration, which Mohindra shared on Instagram included both a Hindu ceremony and a Western evening ceremony.
Hollywood Meets Bollywood in Italy
The sight of the beloved Bridgerton star in Indian traditional wear immediately sparked a massive reaction online, particularly on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Fans were quick to share their delight and surprise at the fashion choice. Comments poured in, with many users expressing just how much they "didn’t know they needed" this moment.
One viral comment perfectly captured the mood, exclaiming, “Jonathan Bailey wore a kurta and Nehru jacket and nobody told me? He went full desi I’m cryinggg!” The enthusiasm didn't stop there. Another fan, drawing a direct connection to his on-screen romance with Kate Sharma (played by Simone Ashley), quipped: “The Bridgerton crew put Jonathan Bailey in a sherwani and Kate in a saree right now!” This sentiment highlighted how much the outfit resonated with the ‘Kanthony’ fandom, making the traditional Indian look a reality for their on-screen hero. The entire British Desi community, as one fan noted, wholeheartedly accepted Bailey as one of their own following this style triumph.
A True Celebration of Friendship and Style
Bailey was attending the Italian nuptials of Sacha Dhawan and Anjli Mohindra as Sacha's Best Person. The friendship between the two actors dates back to a shared stage performance in 2007. His thoughtful choice of attire was a clear nod of respect and participation in the couple's heritage and celebration.
Known for his impeccable style, both on the red carpet and on screen, Bailey’s foray into Indian ethnic wear has set a new benchmark for celebrity wedding guest fashion. The effortless charisma he brought to the kurta and Nehru jacket proves that great style truly transcends cultural boundaries. As he prepares for his next major role in the film adaptation of Wicked, Jonathan Bailey has firmly established himself not just as a global acting talent, but also as a style icon who knows how to make a dazzling, meaningful statement.
