Wearing Her Own
12
Masaba attended Sonam’s baby shower wearing a kurta and an embroidered veshti set from her own line paired with an LV bag. The vesthi and the gold embroidery on the white looked nice but wasn’t loving the Rupi Kaur poems embroidered in sanskrit on the shoulder much.
You like the set?

Masaba cant seem to pull off her own clothes.. very poor draping /styling!
never liked her clothes.
Oh this is tragic in every sense. On an artsy conceptual level it made sense but this is not something any human should wear.
It’s a strictly okay outfit. In theory it should look nice but it looks rather mediocre
She is not able to pull it off.
What in gods name is that outfit
I dont know why Masaba thinks its okay to appropriate Tamil culture repeatedly. First it was the Tamil alphabet print on a saree, now its a veshti.
Is there some connection between her and Tamil culture that I am missing?
Surely a fellow Indian can pay homage to Tamil culture without being accused of appropriation?! Are we doing state wise appropriations now? What next? Religion? Gender? Please! this is way too unfriendly and regressive. I’m sure Indians , south Asians can enjoy all aspects of their shared heritage.
I understand where you are coming from Sara…but I still want to know how/why she zeroed in on Tamil!!
Fair. It’s just that everyone sounds so polarised and divided these days, feeding into us and them narratives that it did bother you. Really appreciate your taking the time to respond. Thanks. X
Also Masaba makes it look like a caricature/cartoonish. Thats another problem all together.
Outfit aside, considering the vast and incredibly rich body of literature by Indian authors, it’s interesting that the choice landed on Rupi Kaur’s poems. I will admit that I am not personally a fan of her work, but beyond that, incorporating these particular lines onto a garment feels more performative than thoughtful. It doesn’t quite read as especially original, provocative, or meaningfully reflective – more like a surface-level literary reference than a creative or socially resonant statement.
