More about the appearance

Malaika Arora sported a stunning red saree look. She was dressed in a glossy satin saree in which the red sheen of the saree fabric channeled a desi muff that blends modern and traditional style in equal measure. She paired the saree with massive gold bangles and a choker. The combination of red and gold is a match made in heaven. It is the quintessential desi color and when incorporated into a saree look, evokes unconditional traditional charm.

Why this type of saree is unique

What sets this draping style of saree apart is how beautiful the saree looks in the traditional way of draping. As a general rule, modern saree styles lean towards streamlined mermaid styles to further accentuate the silhouette.

With so much emphasis on defining the proportions and contours of the body, there is a distance from the voluminous saree materials and draping styles of yesteryear that are flashy. With such an emphasis on body contouring, there is a sharp departure from anything flashy, be it a pallu or a saree. The sari pallu becomes thinner and even the pleats become less structured and more flowing.

This is why the look of Malaika’s saree is great as it shows that flared pallus should not stand in opposition. There is always a struggle to make the saree more sculpted and form fitting. But Malaika’s style is glamorous and gorgeous, simply by following the rule of “less is more”.

So, what stylish things can you get?

• A sequin and georgette saree can be your favorite as it gives you a sassy look. But like Malaika, try a silk or satin saree and embrace voluminous pallu and structured pleats.
• There is no need to adorn yourself with sequins, rhinestones or mirrors all the time. Even simple solid colors can be sophisticated. More often than not, solid colors depart from bejeweled pieces to pursue a mirror ball aesthetic.
• The combination of gold and red colors is perfect for any ethnic wear.
• Opt for chunky jewelery – heavy chokers and bangles if the material of the saree is lighter. Malaika’s satin saree is balanced with her heavy jewellery.
