While there is no disputing the statement-making power of a classic lehenga, there is something about a sari moment that makes any occasion truly timeless. But the new-age saris are nothing like the classic drapes you have always known—from innovative layering to OTT accessories, here are all the non-boring ways to wear a sari this festive season:
Shilpa Shetty Kundra
Manish Malhotra’s signature sequin saris have now become industry legend, but Shetty Kundra took hers a step further by rounding out the slinky silhouette with wing-like cape sleeves that will allow your imagination to take flight.
Deepika Padukone
If you are looking to get experimental with your look, your choices aren’t restricted to just draping styles and blouse silhouettes. Instead, follow Padukone’s lead and level up a classic sari by opting for a statement accessory, like the maximalist pearl neckpiece that she layered over her ruffled Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla number.
