Kriti Sanon has a way of making the saree feel anything but conventional. At a recent UNFPA event, the actor stepped out in a look that blended boardroom sharpness with timeless elegance. She donned a collared pallu saree that turned the classic six yards into a powerful yet playful statement.
Decoding Kriti Sanon’s Look
This wasn’t just another six yards of fabric. The design reimagined the saree as a hybrid between a collared shirt and a drape, layered with lush ivy gardenia prints. The signature collared pallu added structure and authority, balancing out the fluid georgette satin base. A pre-stitched skirt ensured fuss-free wear, while an embellished belt neatly cinched the waist, lending shape to the otherwise flowy silhouette.
The saree stood out not only for its visual appeal but also for its functionality. No endless pleating, no adjusting the pallu, this was a saree designed for ease. Whether it’s a cocktail party, reception, or cultural evening, the piece spoke to women who want tradition without the hassle. The Studio Surbhi’s Ivy Gardenia Collar Pallu Saree retails for Rs 20,000.
Kriti Sanon’s styling choices kept the spotlight firmly on the saree. She paired it with delicate drop earrings from Aquamarine Jewellery and a couple of rings from Mozaati. Her sleek, fuss-free hair and neutral makeup elevated the modern edge of the collared pallu, letting the garment carry the story.
When Tradition Meets Confidence
What makes Kriti’s look resonate is its balance. The collar sharpness contrasted beautifully with the fluid print, while the belt and blouse tied everything together in a polished yet playful way. It’s a masterclass in showing how traditional silhouettes can be reimagined without losing their soul.
