Tabu at 53 proves age is just a number in this gorgeous Heena Kochhar saree

Apart from delivering back-to-back acting hits in her career, Tabu’s wardrobe has also become a point of conversation in the industry and for all the right reasons. The 53-year-old diva continues to dazzle us with her sartorial choices, consistently showcasing aesthetically pleasing ethnic attire. This time, she made headlines in a stunning Heena Kocchar saree, a look that doubles up as perfect inspiration for your Diwali wardrobe.

For her Navratri appearance, she wore a light, fluid georgette drape crafted from handloom tissue silk with an unexpected underskirt. True to her style, she brought drama to the ensemble. These six yards resembled a half-saree, where the chanderi petticoat added a chic amount of volume, painted beautifully in white and gold hues.

Delicate zari and sitara ari embroidery lent texture without overpowering the fabric’s simplicity. But the real highlight was the blouse, a jewel-toned emerald green piece, densely embroidered and perfectly complementing the gold borders of the saree. The contrast played a starring role, elevating the white-and-gold palette and adding a burst of richness.


She accessorised with a pair of temple earrings encrusted with rubies and emeralds, while her hands sparkled with delicate gold bangles and a statement cocktail ring carrying an old-world charm. The emerald tones reflected against the jewellery and borders, creating a mesmerising finish.

For footwear, Tabu chose Aparajita Toor’s khussas in dull golden and maroon hues, adorned with silk detailing and Mughal-inspired embroidery. The cushioned lining balanced comfort with ornate design, proving that style doesn’t have to compromise on practicality.


Keeping her makeup subtle and natural, she lined her eyes with dark kohl and styled her hair into a sleek bun that framed her face beautifully. This unfussy approach paired with Mughal-inspired elegance made the look truly timeless, something worthy of a museum display, yet perfect for your Diwali parties. So what are you waiting for? Start hunting for the right palettes and pin this look to your festive inspiration boards.
