1/5

One saree and zero competition

When Rashmika Mandanna steps out in a statement look, it rarely becomes a fashion moment but soon turns into a full-blown takeover. Her latest saree look carried notes of excess with elegance and an effortless attitude. In a stunning Mrunalini Rao creation, she blended intricate craftsmanship with modish beats, quietly making luxury feel like her second skin. Let’s decode this fascinating look.

2/5

This look will complete your mood board hunt

Rashmika chose a statement ivory silk saree from Mrunalini Rao’s collection, which came at a hefty price tag of Rs 1.68 lakh. Featuring an intricate floral zardozi border, she teamed this stunning drape with a striking red, hand-embroidered blouse, which came with cap sleeves and added just the right amount of traditional drama.

Elevating, but not overpowering

Rashmika chose her accessories quite thoughtfully, starting with emerald-centred statement earrings with a reddish touch, which complemented her red blouse. Ditching a heavy necklace, she went with her traditional wedding mangalsutra and added a stacked range of bangles with a statement wristwatch.

4/5

Fresh wedding glow

She kept her makeup refined and opted for a matteshiny base with contoured cheeks and a hint of highlighter on the go. Decorating her eyes with smoky brown shadow, she added a muted red lip touch to bring an overall balance and played safe with a centre-parted ponytail. Adding a traditional touch, she wore her red sindoor and gave a polished, clean-girl aesthetic.

Rocking the saree era like a pro

This look is an ideal choice for how one can keep things traditional with a modish edge, making it a perfect pick for millennial and Gen Z girls. So, whether you’re a newlywed woman or going out with your family in a traditional ensemble, this pick from Rashmika’s wardrobe is the only inspiration you need this summer.
