So what’s intriguing about this look, is that Samantha chose to repurpose her wedding gown to envision this statement piece with Kresha Bajaj. Taking to Instagram, Samantha spoke about the importance of sustainability and how she enjoyed working with Kresha on this look. Samantha said, “We cannot ignore sustainability anymore. We’re past that stage when it was a choice. It’s now a necessity for the longevity of our planet that we call home. The dress I am wearing today is a beloved gown that has been repurposed for this occasion by the most talented @kreshabajajofficial.”

She further added, “While that might sound insignificant, entitled even to many I assure you that repurposing my old clothes is only one of many steps I am consciously taking to alter my habits and make my lifestyle more sustainable. And every little gesture, every little decisive action, is important. It all adds up, I urge myself and all of you that have goodwill for me in your hearts to make those little efforts. Thank you.”
