Sari Style
17
Both Nandita and Lillete picked saris to wear to a recent movie screening. Of course, given it was Nandita’s film, the filmmaker’s choice of a dressier, more festive sari (and jewelry) was keeping in line with the occasion. Both ladies looked lovely!

Thank you for posting these amazing women and their classic styles . Love!
They got the drape and the pleats right. Sight for sore eyes for sure!!
Can someone ID Nandita’s saree? Is that a chanderi, banaras silk, or tissue something? I see it a lot in weddings and would love to acquire one.
Mostly tissue sarees. Linen tissue sarees are also available. Check Suta!
Thank you, laaldupattewaali! Beautiful collection.
They both look enchanting.
Wow Lilette looks like she did in the movie Zubeida!
haha nice observation… Karisma is featured in the post right below this one 🙂
yes, please feature and love the regular drapes too! we tend to focus excessively on the sarees (or lehengas) of young actors and to people who don’t live in india or experience sarees only on social media, it tends to indicate that everyone’s wearing the non-existent blouses and sequinned sarees. the likes of shanaya are the exception, i promise you! and while they must have their space too, they are in no way threatening or undermining the regular drape.
Lovely!!! Both have this timeless grace… They look like they have 20 years back!!!!
Lilette looks lovely!
lilette looks beautiful, love the saree color and fabric
How does Lilette look this amazing at 69 years old!!!
30 years back in my community blouses of this sort would have been “daring” and frowned upon. Times do change.
Personally I don’t like sleeveless blouses with sarees. Visually I like sleeved blouses or no blouse. But I think its great that the biggest change in urban India at least is that girls do not have to conform to modesty rules. Where I live young girls do wear spaghetti strap blouses and no one cares (though decolletage is rare).
PS: Lilette does look ageless!
makes me wonder where do you live?
Why the disbelief.
Mumbai. And not a Bollywood suburb.
Can I just say…Nandita looks HOT! That’s the word stuck in my head. Too goddamn hot. The glasses are a great touch.
