She is self-confessed minimalist lover. For Diana Penty, it is with minimal chicness and signature understated elegance that she stirs up a sartorial storm with every appearance. Her co-conspirator is her fashion stylist of many years, Namita Alexander. Even within the realm of this sophisticated minimalism, she never flinches from experimenting amply. For minimalism, a timeless trend is all about fine-tuning your own personal style. It is underlined by the idea that less is more. As a visual sense of calm, cool, and collected in couture, Diana Penty raised the bar on simplicity yet again with her second stint at the Cannes De Festival 2023. 

Diana Penty goes on to exude a rare confidence and affability, both on-screen and off-screen. As a former model, she has exemplified an innate understanding of silhouettes, cuts, and hues that flatter her lithe frame. Right from going glittery to owning tassels and romanticizing an avant-garde mutton-sleeved dress with a warm-toned camouflage dress thrown in for good measure. Her glam was helmed by Shraddha Mishra. Ahead, we consolidated a brief fashion capsule of Diana’s pretty looks, all the way from the French Riviera.
