In Manish Malhotra
25
Kriti received her Best Actress awards at the 69th National Film Awards in Delhi wearing a cream and gold benarasi sari from Manish Malhotra. Kriti looked lovely.
Let’s talk about the sari though. The cassatta pastel color scheme with the cream and gold seemed so out of place to me. But, I can imagine it like being caught between a rock and hard place for the designer. A designer has to add something of unique of his own and if you remove the pastel detail and the sari would be like a Sabya signature design( a Benarasi sari with embellished borders.)

A different blouse style and color would have made this look youthful. As such it doesn’t look great.
There’s no need to criticize this saree when you guys gave a free pass to a ganji and lungi combo that Shanaya wore. This is 1000 times better than that yet you have to nitpick.
Gold!!!
Spot-on critique. This is a saree that doesn’t make any sense at all.
I would have added a polki necklace along the line of the blouse neck to cut off the rounded edge.
I have no issues with the saree or the dual pattern. I’m sure if some other bollywood lady would have worn it, would have recieved lesser criticism than Kriti.
Looks good and different….
Don’t like the saree or the blouse, everything just so run-of-the-mill. But I really like the bangles and ring she is wearing!
Kriti looks lovely. That said though, the sequin strip/border has no business being on top of the lovely zari border. what is it even adding?
She looks lovely! Simple and elegant. Styling is perfect and I love that she kept the eye make up minimal. The cassatta pastel color scheme adds a really nice visual interest which otherwise would’ve been a run of the mill saree.
It looks exactly like a sabya with sabya styling as well. The hair tied tight in a bun, flowers, high neck blouse, et al
So meh ! If you remove the sleeve cuff border , the blouse looks like a r-shirt .
* t- shirt
I think that the sari looks lovely, however the blouse isn’t working for me.
Love the pastel shades. Nice touch but there is no denying that a more impactful look was expected out of Kriti… that’s what happens when you are Ms. Sanon.
She looks gorgeous!!
100% Better than bra blouse wearing A-listers at Ambani Ganpati
Nice saree. Good colors. How is it that she’s winning the same award with Alia Bhatt and her movie came out in 2021 and Alia’s last year. How does this add up?
Because of Covid, the awards were not collected. the ceremony is happening now.
The pastel part was good in fact .. n blouse should have been like that. Would have brought it together… This stark white Sabya style blouse was the let down for me …
Dont nitpick this, come on! This is simple and sweet and perfect for the ocassion in question.
Kriti looks pretty but I agree with the comments about the blouse. It is too severe for the less traditional saree in the light fabric.
Beautiful n serene
She looks beautiful. Love the saree and the pattern; makes the saree not look like usual Sabya design. But something on her neck would have made an impact.
Sorry it’s an ugly saree
This severe hair and blouse style don’t suit Kriti. They age her. And the sari is nothing to write home about.
She must be another “manish malhotra bride” in the waiting 🙂 🙂 the color does not suit her at all especially because of the blouse. It looks like a sabya copy.
