If you’re dressing for an intimate Onam celebration or a puja, this is a look worth bookmarking. Pick a lightweight silk-linen or Chanderi saree in ivory or a soft neutral shade and pair it with a high-neck blouse.
Keep the jewellery traditional and let fresh jasmine flowers do some of the styling work. A little kajal, nude lipstick and a red bindi are enough to finish the look.
For an evening function, you can make the same outfit feel a little sharper. Keep the saree pleats neat, switch the gajra for a sleek low bun and add a gold watch or simple cuffs.
The takeaway from Nayanthara’s look is pretty simple: you don’t always need more to make an outfit memorable. Sometimes, the saree can do all the work.
