Samantha Ruth Prabhu has caught widespread attention since her recent appearance in black attire. The actress recently wore a beautiful cocktail dress to an award show. However, what intrigued everyone was the back story of the dress, as it was none other than her repurposed wedding gown.
It has been years since Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya got divorced. After a whirlwind romance, they tied the knot in two ceremonies—a white wedding and a Hindu ceremony—in 2017. Almost four years later, the couple officially announced their divorce. Although they never disclosed the reason, their interviews implied some bitterness between them. Now, Samantha’s refashioned wedding gown has created much buzz.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently attended the ELLE Sustainability Award 2024 and won in the leaders of change, female, category. Expressing her gratitude for the award, the Family Man 2 star dropped her pictures on social media, wearing the black dress.
In the caption, she revealed how she got her wedding gown repurposed. She wrote, “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.”
The Citadel: Honey Bunny star continued, “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.”
Samantha Ruth Prabhu further shared a video of making a new dress from the old one.
Although the story behind the dress stems from her personal life, fans are hailing Samantha for her step towards sustainable fashion.
