Birthday Special: Check Out Madhuri’s Saree Choices That Will Still Make Your Heart Go ‘Dhak Dhak’

Its Madhuri Dixit’s 53rd birthday and the actress is turning more graceful with every passing day. She has registered her presence not just as a legendary star but also as a versatile artist who has wonderfully adapted to the change Bollywood over the years. Be it big screens or small, what remained constant is Madhuri's classic take on Indian fashion punctuated with sarees. She has given a tough one to Bollywood’s fashion metamorphosis from homegrown to Parisian couture with her unapologetic embrace of the six yards of wonder. From the classic Banarasis, to custom designer sarees, the ‘dhak dhak’ girl has time and again given us some memorable saree moments.

Here are a few times when she completely smashed our fashion charts, while draped in a saree. This is effortlessness redefined.

Black Is Blissful

Mrs. Nene has a decadent taste and one look at her saree scape will cement the fact. She was recently spotted posing her confidence in a black and gold, classic Anita Dongre saree. She complimented her look with a traditional jadau necklace. With the wedding season approching, we only have her stylist Ami Patel to thank for curating this festive look and giving cues on how one canhave fun with black and gold. Red, you are out!

White Is Pure Perfection

One might not be very welcoming of the idea of picking up a white saree, but when it is a heavily embroidered piece paired with a sexy bra-top inspired blouse, who can go wrong? At another promotional event for her upcoming flick ‘Bucket List’, Madhuri took a detour from dark hues and picked up a breezy white saree by Anjul Bhandari. For all those who struggle with the choice of white as a hue, we say, go ahead and experiment. You can pair a blouse of any colour with the saree and you are set. Indian couturiers have already infused white, even as a part of their bridal collections. Abu Sandeep's’ rich white chikenkari sarees, Tarun Taniliani’s Swarovski studded drapes and Anita Dongre’s light and floral chiffon sarees, white has become a hot favourite of B-town designers.

Handloom Sarees Are In

If you are a saree connoisseur you will know the charm of owning an evergreen handloom saree. Madhuri is certainly one of those true-blue Bollywood stars who does not shy from giving up on bling and resorting to something understated yet graceful. This drape by Madhurya Creations registering a strong presence in a clutter of cocktail sarees, covered in almost blinding sheen and shine. So just in case if you are a believer in investing heirloom pieces then maybe a similar saree needs to be a part your wardrobe as well. Among all those edgy denim pieces and thigh high boots, a humble handloom saree can certainly have an almost cleansing appeal.

Gold Is Not Just Limited To Jewellry

When it comes to making statements, you can always count on Madhuri. And yes, she is a proven fashion icon who can spin any look, making it appear nothing less than couture. Madhuri at an award function opted for a gold satin saree, without a freckle of embroidery or embellishment, almost giving an appearance of molten gold. And who could have carried this dramatic look other than Madhuri? To add a punch of fun, she paired it with risque translucent blouse. Also after this look, it seemed as if Manish Malhotra creates outstanding pieces just for Madhuri.

If Decadence Had A Definition!
