Rekha to Vidya Balan: 5 Bollywood-inspired ethereal golden sarees dipped in luxurious silk

The onset of Sawan brings a line of vibrant Hindu festivities, followed by the auspicious wedding season, where our traditional elegance takes centre stage. Where women are often seen decked in divine red and green ensembles, let’s add a hint of royalty with chic and ethereal golden sarees dipped in luxurious silk. Taking a page out of our Bollywood actresses’ wardrobes, let’s see who has aced the ultimate golden silk saree look.

Vidya Balan has proved yet again that there is no better attire than a beautiful golden silk saree, which looked absolutely angelic on her. The diva wore her wedding silk saree featuring a shining golden-white bodice with deep golden borders, picked from the shelves of designer Gaurang Shah. Completing the look with a matching elegant full-sleeved blouse, she neatly pulled her hair into a bun with a side-parted look and decorated it with fresh jasmine flowers that added a special touch to the entire traditional look.

Adding a dash of glamour with her stunning golden silk tissue saree, crafted by maestro Manish Malhotra, Sonam perfectly blended tradition and glamour and reflected it in her own impeccable way. The plain golden silk number had an opaque tissue fabric, which elevated her overall look and featured a shimmery border. Teaming it with a deep U-neckline blouse with puffy opaque full sleeves, her traditional look served as the perfect inspiration for this festive season.

Deepika’s Kanjeevaram silk saree from her wedding reception made a strong case for head-to-toe gold. A gift from her mother, she wore a pure zari Kanjeevaram silk saree from the private label of The House of Angadi, which is a heritage store in Bangalore with a history of 600 years of weaving. The plain golden Kanjeevaram was teamed with a high-neckline and full-sleeves blouse, designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. The sari took approximately 60 days to make and is a part of the label’s limited edition, making the piece royal, exclusive, and iconic.

Yesteryear actress Rekha, who simply refuses to age, looked stunning as ever at a popular award show in 2014, decked out in an all-golden Kanjeevaram silk saree. The saree did not feature any rich embroidery, sequins, or embellishments, but the natural glowing shine of the silk was enough to add glory and charm, making all the other designer evening gowns look meagre and subtle. Teaming it with an elegant matching blouse, she wore a heavy necklace with matching earrings and a stack of bangles.

Priyanka always manages to score a ten in the acting and style department and can carry both an evening gown and a Kanjeevaram silk saree with the same panache. For Virushka’s wedding reception, Priyanka kept it classy and traditional, draping a pure silk Kanjeevaram saree with a contrasting brocade green blouse. Her inherent swag and confidence made this subtle outing a treat to the eyes, proving her fashion prowess and aura.
