Bollywood actor Genelia Deshmukh recently turned heads with a graceful ethnic look: an olive Benarasi lehenga designed by Manish Malhotra, featuring intricate zardozi work, gota patti, and floral appliqués.
Here’s a full breakdown of the outfit, styling notes, and aesthetic significance.
The Look: Olive Elegance
Deshmukh opted for a Benarasi lehenga in a rich olive-green shade, diverging from the typical gem-tones or vibrant reds common at glamorous events.
Embroidery & Detailing
What makes the ensemble stand out is its artisan craftsmanship:
-
Zardozi work: The skirt and blouse are edged with heavy zardozi embroidery, adding metallic sheen and texture.
-
Gota patti borders: Complementary gota accents frame the hem, giving the outfit a dimensional border.
-
Floral appliqués: Petal motifs are subtly placed — not overwhelming, but thoughtfully integrated.
These elements together fuse traditional techniques with a refined, modern silhouette.
Blouse, Dupatta & Accessories
The blouse mirrored the lehenga’s detailing. It carried pearl embellishments and tasselled latkans to add movement and delicacy to the ensemble.
To accessorize, she wore traditional yellow-gold jewellery — a statement choker, studs, and stacked kadas — that harmonised with the metallic tones in the embroidery.
Style Philosophy & Significance
Deshmukh has articulated a clear fashion ethos: timeless over trendy, quality over quantity. Her choice of this lehenga reflects that — she avoided overt sparkle in favor of structured elegance.
By choosing olive — a somewhat unconventional palette in Indian bridal or festive wear — she makes the outfit feel fresh yet rooted in tradition. The embellishments remain rooted in Indian artisan techniques, not overdone showmanship.
