In Sabyasachi
Simple, elegant and beautiful. Love this appearance of Rani’s.
P.S: If you happen to live in N.America and have to have this Sabyasachi sari, you may want to check out PKG.

that is a major plug for piakaghar. hope you got a sabya in return:)
Good one 😉
Wow!!! she needs to stick with this lip color 🙂
Love Love seeing Rani in saris!
See, simplicity rocks sometimes!!
My thoughts exactly. She looks best in sarees. And she is rocking this bengali look with the big bindi and all. Wow !
Nothing desingerish about the saree, but it looks awesome !
I agree I’m sure you can get the same thing for 1/10th the price in one of the markets but Rani looks great. I have a feeling a bun would have taken this look to yet another level. But still no complaints.
She looks absolutely stunning. The saree is lovely, and her makeup is perfect. On a different note, I’d love to be in Kolkata during Durga Puja sometime’ the colors, the joyousness, the festivities – it must be amazing! 🙂
whoops – “sometime;” not “sometime”‘
Wow!! She’s so graceful, and exquisit! I love the simplicity of the sari 🙂
she does look lovely…but I have always thought that red bindis was just for married women.
Rani looks absolutely gorgeous! She is in her element here! Stunning!
Hi P&P,
Rani looks stunning! And so happy to hear you complimenting her style for once ;).
I was wondering… could you do an educational post about what goes behind the styling of actresses? I’ve always wondered… do they hire stylists that work for them full time? Or is the stylist hired for the event and then dresses multiple actresses? Similarly- do they have full-time hair and makeup artists that coordinate with the stylists for each event or movie?
I think a lot of your readers would love to get a behind-the-scenes idea of what’s going on, and I just don’t know who to ask other than you two pros!
Shilpa
ditto !! i’d like to know too 🙂
Agree! That would be a fun post.
ditto.
samezie….
Rani looks so beautiful. Love the glow on her skin.
What about the Sabya admirers in UK?
I know, wish I knew someplace in the U.k they sell Sabyasachis. He should have an online shopping website for those that don’t live in India – I know there would be a LOT of interest in that.
OMG … how stunningly graceful does she look here. Clearly, her best appearance in recent times :). Superlike <3
Beautiful, she looks her best in sarees.
gorg! thanks for the link 🙂
though i dont understand what is so designer about it, i like it…
Shes exquisite no doubt…But whats so designer about it?
i love to see what rani wears every year to durga puja…she always look so elegant and bengali, and not like she’s trying to hard. bong power!!
exactly….she remains true to her roots
I agree. great colors, well fitted, this suits her fine. Classy yet young and fresh..Her hair is slightly curled, showing an effort on that side. Simple makeup which looks fine…I would have advised a matching orange or cream color tee shirt below instead of the black one, thats all
you mean blouse :p
You are right…blouse 🙂 Thanks.
its a gorgeous simple and sexy saree…i would love to wear it, Rani is looking so fresh and young.i love the bindi and the lip color on her.
Absolutely stunning. Also I wish the website was a little more transparent. I emailed them to know about the pricing of a certain saree and was asked to call back, it just seems like a hassle and a little shady (imo, for all I know they are an absolutely upstanding business). I wish they wouldn’t hesitate in putting the prices online or atleast letting people know via email!
TRue that!
I checked out and it was quite irritating, the procedure to get to know the price of an item, .. all my excitement just fizzed out .
i agree. i think they dont put the prices to prevent a heart attack:)
but yes they should email the prices. my sister bought a few from pia ganguly. the prices start at 700-800 for the most basic ones and go up to $25K!
Aza in Bombay has beautiful cotton Sabya’s with gorgeous borders starting at Rs. 21,000. (About $445)
But you get cotton Sabyas from 14-15K… mine was one.
The Sabyasachi store in Mumbai has a better collection.. & better service too..
Oh, thanks for the tip – didn’t even register the store on my Bombay trip!
warmest puja greetings to PnP and all the readers from bengal! 🙂
p.s. rani looks great at this puja event. bong power, indeed.
honestly, that color red in the border hurts my eyes.. n it`s juss same as red carpet/floor.. so the color doesnt work for me
though i love the bindi on her..
For the first time this year Rani looks simply stunning!
Woohoo, I as a matter of fact have the EXACT SAME saree, but with a hot pink border instead of the red! Sigh! Just thinking of it makes me want to wear it..
It drapes superbly, btw, & comes with a simple, but exquisite blouse 🙂
would you mind sharing how much you paid for it? i agree his sarees are something when you actually wear them.
Suchi, I paid Rs. 14500 – that’s about US$300-325, I suppose.
Bought it from the Bombay store; they can stitch your blouses at extra cost (which I totally recommend – they did a fab job!).
And it took me about 20 seconds to decide to buy this one. Instant love if there ever was one (vague memory of snatching it out of someone’s hands ;-))
She always looks stunning in Indian wear!
Although its a different story in western wear….I cringed at her jeans and tee look on ‘Being Human’ ramp walk….agreed she is young and can wear anything, but her body type is best suited for Indian wear!
and this post should read “whats not to love” def nt tht other one …more power to rani she does look like a queen here
Agree with Shilpa, would love to know wat goes behind the styling of actresses. 🙂 Rani looks fab! So fresh!
Rani looks stunning!
Are there any pictures of Vidya Balan at ballygunge durgotsav which she attended recently. Sure to see another Sabya! Will be interesting to see both these ladies side by side dressed for a Durga puja.
Very beautiful…the Rani we admire.
Rani,Vidya….Lucky girls to have all these beautiful Sabya creations…Inshaallah oneday I will buy…
Thats one hell of a gorgeous saree!
