Dia Mirza’s rani pink kurta set is an ode to handwoven textiles

A staunch advocate of conscious living, Dia Mirza has long used her voice and wardrobe to spotlight indigenous artisanal work and handwoven fabrics. So it comes as no surprise that, for a recent outing, the actor and environmentalist turned to a label deeply rooted in slow fashion and textile revival. Mirza chose a rani pink kurta set from Tilla by Aratrik Dev Varman, which reflects her deep-rooted commitment to slow fashion.

“Her kurta set is crafted using handwoven silk organza, which is block-printed with vertical stripes,” shares Dev Varman. The result is a luminous top that creates texture and depth without overwhelming the fabric’s simplicity. “The yoke is inspired by Islamic architectural influences and features pitta work,” he adds. The same ornamentation is mirrored on the sleeve cuffs. Her kurta is rounded off with solid flared pants and an organza dupatta with small buttis and a delicate border. Thanks to its vibrant colour juxtaposed with intricate work, her well-balanced look is a study in mindful luxury and a deep connection to India’s textile legacy.

Dia Mirza accessorised her look with a pair of statement chandbali earrings from Maya Sanghavi Jewels, “crafted with 18-carat gold and adorned with 4.87 carats of polkis and 1.79 carats of full-cut diamonds along with natural pearls. Handcrafted using the open-setting technique, this piece blends regal heritage with modern refinement,” shares Darshan Sanghavi of Maya Sanghavi Jewels. Her styling was purposefully minimal, letting the outfit speak for itself. With natural makeup and a hairdo showcasing soft curls, the focus stayed on her kurta set and its understated intricacy.

This handwoven kurta is the kind of versatile piece that transitions effortlessly from AM to PM and across special events. You can dial it up with a choker for a wedding or keep it pared-down, like Mirza, with minimal styling for festive occasions. It’s the kind of look that doesn’t rely on trends or embellishments to make an impact, but instead offers a deeper connection to the idea of dressing with intention.
