The blouse is sleeveless, cut low in the back and features scalloped edges trimmed with tiny pearls, to add just a hint of detail without drawing focus away from the sari.
The makeup stays soft: lightly defined eyes, Kajol’s usual kohl, and a berry lip that keeps things grounded. Her hair, in a loosely pinned low bun, looks simple and neat.
When it comes to accessorising, the actor lets her polki earrings take centre stage. Shaped like blooming rosettes, they add structure to her face. Along with the studs is an emerald-cut gemstone ring that sits on her pinkie—a personal talisman slipped on without occasion, the kind of element you’d miss in motion.
It’s not about standout pieces or bold choices. It’s about how everything sits together: quiet, considered and completely lived-in.
From Vogue’s fashion desk:
“This National Handloom Day, take a cue from Kajol—the black sari is our very own LBD. Her floral drape strikes the perfect balance between heritage and effortlessly classic. The motif or print really helps you define the look you are going for: bigger florals lean towards a retro ’50s look, while a smaller floral motif in certain colours can be a fresh take on it. A sleeveless blouse is lovely but why not swap this for a balloon-sleeved black georgette or organza blouse? Keep accessories refined: sculptural earrings, a touch of pearls and a classic bag. Finish up with dewy skin and a cat eye to lean into retro sophistication,” says Vogue India fashion editor, Divya Balakrishnan.
