Sari Style
At the Paani Foundation Awards, Sona sure surprised us in this kotpad sari from Orissa. Being from the state like Ms. Mohapatra, I’ll admit I am a bit biased here, as I loved the choice instantly.
What I didn’t love though, was the corn-row hairstyle. She wore the sari so well and I love the eye-makeup but the hairdo felt so jarringly out of place.
Was it a deal breaker for you?

Though the corn rows gives the impression of bald patches, she looks neat and nice for a change. So much better than her usual try hard “fierce” looks and silly stances.
what a beautiful saree. and she looks comfortable in it. I have no issues with the hair do. she looks great

Refreshing
she looks just right !! striking and sweet !
I dislike the eye makeup. But I think the hair looks fine, if a bit too tight.
she looks pretty, but what is with the cornrows ? It is cultural appropriation, pure and simple, especially if what you are doing doesnt really honour the culture that you have misappropriated !
This is NOT a kotpad saree. It is a Donguria, a traditional hand-woven textile by the tribals of Niyamgiris.
It’s a textile indigenous to the Dongria Kondh of Kalahandi. Kotpad is different and is from Koraput.
Just another minor nitpick…Odisha..not Orissa 😛
