Going Traditional

Comment image 30


Before you go WTHeyyy on Jacqueline’s choice of outfit, keep in mind that she is wearing a traditional Kandyan Sri Lankan sari. (Pardon me, if I got it wrong.)

I may not be a fan of the bust but I applaud her for taking the risk on the red carpet.

  2. That’s a modern take on the Sri Lankan sari. According to my Sri Lankan friend, a traditional Kandyan would have less tummy showing and a bigger frill on the stomach.The Batik is appropriate.

  3. Yes you got it right. Its the Kandyan saree but worn a little bit urm, different. (Like how Amisha Patel gets the Pallu wrong 😛 )

    But still Kudos to Jaqueline for pulling it off on a red carpet!!!! She sure does look lovely!

  4. Except in a traditional Kandyan saree that sash across the front would be wider (just like in a regular saree) and end in a regular saree pallu. I’d say this is a modern take on the traditional Kandyan.

  6. Kudos to her for going the Sri lankan route and i do think she looks fab. That aside, i do not think this is the real traditional form of the saree. It is definitely stiched and not draped. It looks like it has gone through Tarun Tahiliani before it came to Jacq.
