Samantha Ruth Prabhu never fails to impress with her impeccable sense of style, and her recent appearance in Abu Dhabi was no exception. The actor attended a luxury watch launch event and instantly became the center of attention — not just for her stunning gown, but for her unique, timepiece-inspired accessory that fans couldn’t stop talking about.
The 38-year-old star turned heads in a one-shoulder deep purple gown by designer Krèsha Bajaj. The floor-length creation featured an asymmetrical neckline and a dramatic, flowy sleeve with delicate fringe detailing that cascaded all the way down — blending glamour with whimsy in true Samantha fashion.
The Show-Stopping Watch Necklace
While her outfit was undoubtedly striking, it was Samantha’s gold layered chain necklace that stole the show. The statement piece featured a tiny, fully functional watch pendant designed by luxury brand Piaget. The unique accessory immediately reminded fans of the Time Turner necklace worn by Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban — both magical and elegant.
Paired with a chunky gold bracelet, the necklace added an unexpected twist to her look, seamlessly marrying sophistication with fantasy-inspired charm. The accessory not only elevated her ensemble but also showcased her love for bold, experimental jewellery.
Glamorous Beauty Look
To complete the look, Samantha styled her hair in voluminous curls that framed her face and cascaded gracefully over her shoulders. Her makeup exuded a bronze goddess vibe — with sculpted cheekbones, a soft blush, smokey brown eyes, and her signature nude lipstick. The result? A look that was both regal and radiant, perfect for the red carpet.
Samantha on Balancing Love and Ambition
Beyond her style statement, Samantha has also been in the spotlight for her candid thoughts on relationships and personal growth. During a recent interview, the Citadel: Honey Bunny star opened up about how she approaches love and career.
When asked what advice she’d give her younger fans about choosing between the two, Samantha responded thoughtfully:
“I think it’s unfair to choose between career and relationship. You should not be required to choose. Find a relationship that understands your goals, your ambition, and supports them.”
The actress, who was previously married to actor Naga Chaitanya, is now rumored to be dating Raj Nidimoru, with whom she is also collaborating on an upcoming project.
The Star Continues to Shine
From her acting choices to her fashion moments, Samantha Ruth Prabhu continues to evolve as one of India’s most admired and fearless style icons. Whether she’s channeling classic elegance or experimenting with futuristic designs — like her stunning watch necklace — Samantha knows how to make time stand still, quite literally.
