It is safe to say that Sonali Bendre is in her own lane when it comes to fashion and has been doing so for the past three decades in the Bollywood world. From her girl-next-door era to fighting cancer like a pro, her latest looks are proof that she is not just following the evolving fashion trends, but she is indeed setting them.

We deeply admire her taste for carrying elegance and chic most naturally, and this case of maximalist fashion deserves recognition. She draped a stunning saree that could only be described as galaxy couture, with a rich taste that looked almost dreamy and magnificent.


She wore a saturated red drape with a visual feast of floral motifs rendered in jewel tones of coral, blush, midnight blue, and emerald. When we called this base dramatic, we indeed meant it. Each flower had a striking, shimmering detail with sequins and glitter that caught the light from every angle, making the couture come to life.

The exceptional craftsmanship was visible with every petal, where the embroidery boasted about the richness of the drape, making the ensemble feel almost like art. From the texture, depth, and detailing, the six yards of drape indeed looked like a celebration of craft, colour, and glam.

She broke the traditional mould and teamed it with a high-neckline, sleeveless blouse in a striking green shade and added a clean contemporary edge to the traditional attire. The sharp contrast with an unexpected ray of modernity defines her unafraid personality and tells a tale of her brave and empowering journey.

On the accessory front, Sonali Bendre kept things minimal and added a pair of chandelier-style earrings, which offered just enough sparkle. Allowing her saree to take centre stage, she kept her hair and makeup on point, which was far from basic but did not overwhelm her couture at the same time.


For the glam, she wore a luminous, glowing base and kept a clean balance with her rosy lips, whereas for her hair, she opted for gentle cascading soft curls and effortlessly flaunted the whole contemporary look in front of the camera.

Her look is not just anything else but a reminder of how deep-rooted traditional attire can be worn with a modish touch and look so ethereal and captivating, making it an ideal choice for the festive season.
