Bollywood actor Sonali Bendre recently made waves in a breathtaking Banarasi saree that blended nostalgia with sophistication. Wearing a handwoven creation from Ekaya Banaras, she turned the spotlight back on the timeless grandeur of Indian craftsmanship.
Her look became a statement — that true luxury lies not in fleeting trends, but in heirloom weaves that tell a story.
A Saree Steeped in Tradition
The navy-blue Kadhwa Banarasi saree Sonali wore is a masterpiece of handloom artistry. Kadhwa weaving, one of the oldest techniques from Varanasi, involves painstakingly hand-weaving motifs using fine zari threads without cutting the warp. This makes every motif unique, intricate, and incredibly durable.
Her saree featured delicate silver zari patterns inspired by traditional Mughal motifs, giving it a rich yet understated sheen. The border was adorned with subtle floral designs, while the pallu carried dense detailing — a testament to the patience and precision of Banarasi artisans.
Sonali paired the saree with a deep blue blouse featuring elbow-length sleeves and a modest round neckline — staying true to the aesthetic of classic Indian dressing.
Styled With Modern Simplicity
To complement the rich weave, Sonali kept her accessories minimal yet impactful. She wore a pair of antique gold jhumkas and skipped heavy layering. Overall her look rounded off with sleek open hair style with a soft inward curl. Along with understated makeup, and a touch of coral lipstick.
This choice struck the perfect balance between vintage charm and modern restraint.
