From Mira To Sonam Here Is How Bollywood Has Sported Saree With A Twist

From being an insignia of tradition and simplicity, saree has graduated to become the most glamorous piece, experimented by leading stylists and preferred by Bollywood’s best. And they show their love for the 6 yards of wonder by experimenting with it to the T. Be it Masaba’s denim saree, Rimzim Dadu’s neo-ethnic take on metal-meets - fabric drape that Sonam wore at Cannes or an eclectic variety of versions flaunted by Shilpa Shetty and Madhuri Dixit, there is hardly a Bollywood star who has not been lured by saree’s charm.

Looking at Bollywood’s obsession with sarees, it has gone through several phases. From pre-stitched, one’s by Tarun Tahiliani to Shivan and Narresh’s belted one’s there is no dearth of inspiration. Lately, we can’t help but notice the omnipresent off-shoulder drapes showing up on the red carpet. Yes, if you appreciate sarees and want to infuse a bit of character while draping them, maybe off-shoulder pallu drape is the way to go.
