There is a famous Coke Studio song ‘Sundori Komola’ and when we researched, Komola means Lady wearing orange and also stands for Lakshmi too. This song is befitting for the talk of the day on the gorgeous lady from the Indian Film Industry who is known for her prowess and fearlessness before the camera and even in real life. This was certainly not the first time she wore a saree, we have known her for wearing sarees quite often, yet this time was a fiery orange-hued banarasi saree. Thus, we befittingly titled this blog as Kangana stuns the internet in a fiery orange banarasi saree for the Delhi Ram Leela invite. If she does not define the spirit of fire in this ensemble, then who does!
Kanagana dons Banarasi sarees like a true Queen
She played Rani of Jhansi in Manikarnika and those that have seen the movie, know how she looked. Resplendent is the word maybe that suits her queenly appearance, but she is a queen who has strived and struggled her way to the success ladders. Hence, whem she wears a banarasi, the world notices. Like the one time when she wore a golden brocade banarasi to a family event, she looked alluring, especially as that big soft blue of the turquoise in her choker broke the golden continuity and yet just accentuated the brightness all the more. What is always noticeable is that whenever she wears a banarasi handloom saree, she usually opts for the gorgeous glamourous brocade, which is the real classic picture of what JDS Banaras has always said a Banarasi is all about.
JDS Banaras has been a house to banarasi sarees and their artisans for over a century now. The Rathyatra store has seen so many women come with a demand and leave with beaming smiles, and we wish we could captivate client sentiments from everyone. But the way Kanagana stuns in a Banarasi handloom saree, she looks perfect to become the brand ambassador of this endangered heritage. However, now, we would direct all our attention on just the Ram Leela appearance she made recently and not digress anywhere else. Today, we shall pay a befitting ode to the look for it deserves that.
Queen making Tangerine come alive Banarasi Saree
Tangerine is a wonderful bright color. It has the perfect blend of red and orange combined to give a very citrine look. This colour is really what the season needed. As we are heading into the gloomier winter season, we all love the pop of colours to brighten the sight. This was aptly done by Kangana through this look of hers. Regal and quite unapologetically royal, she is wearing a very bright brocade wonder. The saree features royal golden threadwork on the whole body of the saree. The floral motifs feature a big flower where smaller flowers on delicate leafy vines are moving in square-like geometrical arrangement without looking too rigid. If one looks at it closely, there are peacocks in the same golden thread, perched on the delicate vines and boating of the majestic heritage of India. It is quite suitable for the occasion as well given that Lord Ram, Goddess Sita and divine Lakshman were together for many years in the jungles of Bharat and had many more life changing encounters with the world of flora and fauna.
The border has such opulent floral vines all over the border in such intricate floral and vine motifs that it looks very delicately and meticulously designed for an empress wielding her prowess. The border seems to be quite ornate, yet the artisans ensured that it completes and compliments the saree without taking the limelight away from it.
Kangana aces the Banarasi look with Accessories
The accessories have the capability to make or break any look and this goes especially true with the heritage Indian handloom attires. It is a very delicate balance that one has to create and that delicate balance was well-struck by Kangana and her team. The same colour blouse is embroidered and has a sweetheart neckline with embroidered intricacy. This is adding to the royal look and yet woven and embroidered are blending very well. Her makeup has a golden glow with prominent eyes and nude lips, where the small orange bindi and the red roses in the gajra styled bun are adding that finesse. If you look at her jewelry, she is wearing stone and pearl embellished jhumkas and double necklaces, with a choker being highlighted by another sitting on her collarbones. This is so perfect that maybe, this enchantment is all that we needed for the Ram Leela occasion.
Final Address:
Enthralled. Kangana really enthralled her audience with her flawless look and stole the limelight. While making her humility shine through her Instagram post, her look was all regal and flawless, very charming and enamoring too. This is why JDS would love to pay her a small tribute by including this look in the style books and inspire the women reading this blog to adopt Banarasis and shine bright. If not a Tangerine dream like Kangana, then some beloved colours of their own.
