Sari Style

November 8th, 2009 at 12:40 pm . by Priyanka

Spotted Lara Dutta at a recent Award ceremony wearing a sari.

The sari itself isn’t our thing (nor the clutch) and this ‘look’ just seemed so over-crowded on Lara with way too much happening… the hair, the jewelry, the sari… and yet, despite it, Ms. Dutta comes off looking elegant. How does she do it?

    She looks gorgeous. I love the sari and the hair. This isn’t a western look where you either go with either gold earrings or bracelets or gold clutch. It is an Indian look where bling done in a tasteful way is never OTT and she does it well. Love it.

    • kismett says:

      completely agree with you, when doing the indian look slightly OTT in a tasteful way works, as Lara is showing us, love the saree, the whole look.

      I really am confused as to what type of saree’s PnP like?? they dislike all saree’s celebs wear, unless its practically plain and boring except that one saby saree also worn by naomi cambell (liked the grey version not red).
      Would love to know.

    • DC says:

      Couldnt agree more…

    • HK says:

      I agree – I think with Indian outfits which already have sequins and all manner of sparkly stuff, you can’t dress with the western mindset of “oh, i’ll just put on earrings, else it would look too much” – there is no such thing! I think the look should be complete with the bangles, earrings, bindi etc. otherwise it looks UNDERdressed.

    Super Gorgeous! i love the sari and the draping. Her hair looks nice too.

  3. Adit says:

    She looks fab, like a million bucks. On any one else it would have been information overload, but she aces the look

  4. MojitoLover says:

    None of the individual items of her outfit stand out, but put together on Lara they look fab. She’s supremely confident, so at-ease with herself that it doesn’t seem in-your-face, and that shows. Wow. Gorgeous woman.

  5. Ravali says:

    How does she (lara) do it?

    I think it has something to do with her confidence, and that quintessential smile. I saw her pull off a lot of ghastly looks with her quiet poise.

  6. shreya says:

    if she could bottle her poise and sell it she’d make a fortune. a small minus point here is that she looks like she’s wearing extensions.

  7. Preeti says:

    Well maybe because she wore the sari the way it’s suppose to be worn :).

    Anyways Lara always looks well put together and classy! Love this looks..actually I really love the sari.

  8. Rock~n~Rose says:

    Bulls eye! love every bit of this outfit. the sari, hair makeup and accessories.. any clue who the sari is by?

  9. ariel001 says:

    I think her sari is by Ritu Kumar.
    Lara’s blouse is similar to Neha’s Ritu Kumar blouse which wasnt long ago.

    But she looks lovely. & I agree the clutch isnt my thing either.

  10. pashmeena says:

    she looks awesome. it’s all in the way she holds herself.

  11. Blinky says:

    Lara looks stunning. This lady oozes loads of confidence and oomph! IMO, Lara out-shines any other actress in Sari. Dress this gal in anything she can make it look fab!

  12. KS says:

    Gorgeous. She is class apart!

  13. pdaervo says:

    LOVE the saree, and how the border on it looks so pretty on the draping
    very nice
    what I DON’T like is the blingy bouse, and the weird mismatched and the obvious extensions
    the clutch is odd too
    not a 10/10, but she still manages to look good

  14. pritha says:

    i love the way the sari has been worn…the pleats has been done in a very different way…from the sides…the effect is really nice

  15. diptiN says:

    she looks fabulous, even her hair extension looks great. Maybe Priyanka Chopra and Bipasha should use her hair stylist to update their hair extensions. The sari is draped so beautifully,

  16. deepali says:

    great look

  17. Dits says:

    She looks lovely. Love the way she has draped the saree. Am not a big fan of the saree by itself or the blouse, but she pulls it off!

  18. gaga says:

    for me lara can do no wrong.
    ok…well… maybe sometimes but i’m biased :))
    her poise and confidence is unmatched AND she has class.
    loving the look.

  19. NotASheep says:

    This is one of my favorite looks of the year! She looks amazing! I love the draping of the sari the best. I think everything about it is just right without being overpowering…one more thing and it could have been too much. Damn, I love it. I wish people like Priyanka Chopra would dress like this…it’s traditional without being overly so…still youthful and fresh.

  20. Saun says:

    She looks LOVELY!! Beautiful saree…draped well..she carries it all of great!

  21. lurverlurver says:

    very elegant and very poised….you can’t buy that with money..she has it naturally….

  22. beans says:

    lara is a gorgeous woman but there is nothing about this look that i like except may be the combination of black and gold. her hair is a mess; i love the jewellery but it is just too much with this sari/blouse.

  23. _*Dia*_ says:

    she is blessed that she can never look bad…and in this case, the saree is not that bad. its definetly not ther best, even though, it is good!

  24. rudra says:

    d saree is by ritu kumar……lara rocks d look..even her one boob showing is not slutty..

  25. Maze says:

    Lara Dutta can wear a sack and look fabulous, I envy her!

  26. gauri says:

    Lovely!! I like the purse and bangles too.

  27. Doss says:

    She looks gorgeous. Love the sari and her overall look. I think I’ve seen a ditto, ot at least an almost ditto on Diya Mirza at a Miss India event back in 2008 though.

  28. maya says:

    ooh, she looks gorgeous. and she wears her pallu in that feminine way too – that of a dignified lady :)

  29. Chiklet says:

    I remember Lara saying in an interview – “put me in a jeans n t shirt and I will make it look gorgeous!” ……. she lives upto her promise every which way :)
    Love the look, but I would go either with the clutch or the bagles.

  30. Megha says:

    love the sari, the blouse, the jewelery, the hair

    love Lara
    she is a goddess

  31. SS says:

    Her saree is so well draped..and so I had a question now….for a sari to give the body this kind of a shape ( narrow as it nears the feet as opposed to usual sarees where waist down it width is uniform – how is this look acheived? by not wearing a pettitcoat underneath instead replacing it with maybe tights or something?

  32. Priyanka C, says:

    The Sari is definitely a Ritu Kumar, its available at most stores!

  33. shopaholicNY says:

    ahh finally the sari is worn like it should be, and Ms Dutta proves why she won miss india and miss universe while a certain other lady cough *PC* cough won first runner up at miss india…
    at least lara doesnt look like a wannabe trying to act as if she is the coolest person on earth
