5 times the saree made a statement this year
Seen on the runways as well as on the TV, the elegant drape is getting just the right treatment after a long time
The saree has long been a staple in the South Asian fashion scene, and whether you want to dress up and dress down, it can be a saviour. Thankfully, one trend that has made huge comeback this season in all the right ways is the timeless saree, and we’re fully on board with it!
Seen on the runways as well as on the TV (yes, we follow Meray Paas Tum Ho pretty closely), the elegant drape is getting just the right treatment after a long period of being relatively ignored. Styling it up traditionally, complete with a trailing pallu and an eye-catching blouse, or making it chic by swapping the petticoat with pants, there are tons of ways to play around with this trend and our celebs are well on-board.
Here are 5 times the saree made a statement this season.
1) Mahira Khan rocked the saree multiple times this year, and every time she stepped out in one, she made sure to make heads turn with her minimally chic styling. Effortlessly beautiful, Mahira can look gorgeous in just about anything, however the saree definitely takes it up a notch.
2) A versatile actor, Sonya Hussyn has one other trick up her sleeve; being super fashionable. The traditionally beautiful Sonya has taken up the mantle of looking uber stylish where ever she goes, and manages a striking look with the simplest of styling; of course she owned the saree in a more contemporary way with a skinny belt cinching the waist.
3) Fashion maven HSY made several statements at his fashion week stints this year, however he put one thing on the run way that quickly became a must-have for the fashion elite. He combined the traditional drape with a modern jacket and voila! This gorgeous ensemble was born.
4) It wouldn't be wrong to say that Hira Mani has made the saree a fixture on our TV screens, making it more palatable for the masses. However, for other appearances, Hira took some risks with the styling as well, and looked gorgeous in every one of them.
5) Pakistan's resident fashionista Ayesha Omar also embraced the saree trend, and boy did she make it work! It's not a secret that Ayesha can lift up any outfit, but with her saree looks, that included a state of art laser cut number by Elan, have taken her fashion prowess to new heights.
