Madhuri Dixit Nene’s Banarasi khadi silk set places the weave front and centre

Styled by Sukriti Grover and Vani Gupta, Madhuri Dixit Nene’s Reeti Arneja ensemble is cut from Banarasi khadi silk. The textile is the real draw here: a handwoven fabric built from multiple shades of silk thread, creating a surface that shifts beautifully with movement and light. The designers kept the silhouette pared back and embroidery-free, letting the complexity of the weave speak for itself.

Paired with a jewellery set of emerald green, she keeps it light on the accessories by opting for a pair of studs, a polki necklace set and some noor cuff bangles, while letting her hair down in soft curls, giving it a good amount of fusion and all the while looking regal. The silhouette flows in freely with the floral prints, only adding to the weave’s magnificence.

Bringing a fresh rendition to Indian wear, this look by Madhuri Dixit shows how an age-old silhouette can be styled with a modern flair.

From Vogue’s fashion desk:

“Lean into the vintage charm of the multi-panel lehenga skirt with oxidised chandbali in place of the polki set. Add a diaphanous dupatta, that cling to the skin, to drape over the neck to give company to the bare neck and add a touch of evening glamour,” says Vogue India fashion associate Manglien Gangte.
