Netflix’s The Royals has become the talk of the town since the trailer was dropped. Be it the amalgamation of modernity with royal charms, production design, music, and the performance of the cast, every aspect had its fair share of analysis and talk, for that matter. One of the other most talked about factors in The Royals was the rich costumes donned by the star cast in the show. Well, the final runway show in the series was created by none other than, Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, the duo who was behind the costumes of the iconic film, Devdas and more.
Inside The Royals‘ fashion: Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla brought a regal touch to the costumes with their archival collection
In an interview with Vogue, Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla shared that most of the pieces that are used in The Royals finale episode are archival. While this was not the first time for the designer duo to work on the costumes, it was something really different. For example, the lehenga that Bhumi Pednekar wore in the final episode of the runway was 35 years old. The gorgeous piece that Bhumi wore had uncountable mirrorwork atop it. The piece was a recreation of a 35-year-old lehenga. Talking about the same, AJSK said:
“Bhumi’s lehenga is a mirror-work masterpiece, recreated from an archival garment from 35 years ago. The number of mirrors used is impossible to count; it’s safe to say there are hundreds of thousands.”
