As described by his designer, Sabyasachi, the actor wore a “floor-length elongated coat in Tasmanian superfine wool with monogrammed, Japanese horn buttons.” The look was elevated by a remarkable accessory — “The Bengal Tiger Head Cane crafted in 18k gold with tourmalines, sapphires, old mine cut and brilliant cut diamonds.” The ensemble paid homage to both Indian artistry and the global theme of sartorial excellence.
