New mom Deepika Padukone's green Banarasi sari was a gift from this friend

Indian film actress Deepika Padukone must be over the moon as she cradles her lovely baby girl to comfort. Deepika, who gave birth on September 8, 2024, true to her icon status in fashion, pulled off each look with grace and comfort during the beautiful nine months of her pregnancy and set new maternity wear goals. Specifically, at the recent visit to the Siddhivinayak temple, the lady left everyone surprised in an emerald green Banarasi sari that looked great.

The sari was a pretty thoughtful gift from ace celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania, befitting the very elegant Deepika's sophistication. Done with intricate gold embroidery and tinkling delicate tassels, the sari radiated an effortlessness with an edge in timeslessness. This creation by Banarasi Baithak had imaginatively combined the best of the traditional Banarasi weaves with a delightful modernist twist.


What makes it all the more special is its vintage inspiration-a design based on a century-old piece in the same dynamic green. Skilled weavers in Varanasi have rehearsed it with dignity, keeping its classic boota patterns intact, making superficial changes like eschewing certain traditional details that would make for added comfort. This piece of thoughtfulness made Deepika enjoy wearing the sari as an ode to its rich history.



The choice of emerald green is highly significant, symbolizing fertility and the beginning of life that somehow fits well with the current life stage of Deepika. The vintage revival pattern of the sari brought into prominence not just the glow of pregnancy but her natural grace and beauty as well.

Deepika Padukone has indeed made maternity fashion quite differently elegant, effortlessly mixing classic elegance with the modern trend. The green Banarasi sari that she donned for her final public appearance before giving birth was a mirror to her fashion-forward sensibility and an appreciation for the country's cultural heritage.
