Aditi Rao Hydari’s jamun Raw Mango sari was replete with hand-embroidered zardozi

Aditi Rao Hydari’s royal lineage is often mirrored through her occasion wear. She returns to heritage artistry and rich handlooms time and again. Then, there’s her soft spot for a classic six-yard, that’s become her staple for formal and festive occasions. Her collection is replete with saris of various styles, from classic Banarasi silks to wispy organza drapes. Most recently, when attending an award ceremony in Mumbai, she turned to a Raw Mango drape.

The jamuni purple satin silk sari is from Raw Mango’s ‘Garland’ Festive 2024 collection. Called the Gulkhera sari, it features a linear pattern of hand-embroidered zardozi in naqshi and metal sequins, reminiscent of the three-string garlands at the palla.

Her look was paired with the ‘Kadambai’ blouse in a complementing jamuni purple shade. The blouse, made using Varanasi silk brocade, imagined the jhol of mogra gajras as a scalloped jaal across the textile. She went all in with the timeless look by picking temple-style jhumkas from Indriya Jewels to accessorise along with soft dewy makeup and a loose braid for her beauty choices.
