Tara Sutaria’s champagne Kanjeevaram sari gleams with zardozi and pearls

For Ganpati Chaturthi, Tara Sutaria chose a look that stayed close to the codes of traditional festive dressing in a tissue Kanjeevaram sari by Tarun Tahiliani, worn with diamond jewellery and jasmine flowers in her hair.

The champagne-toned sari featured a tissue silk base that gleamed with a subtle sheen, covered edge to edge in zardozi, aari, sequin, crystal and pearl work. Floral vines and geometric motifs were arranged in vertical panels across the pallu and borders, giving the look rhythm and structure. The fabric itself—owing to the stiff nature of Kanjeevaram saris—held form, while still flowing, making the drapes sit elegantly. The blouse featured fully embellished elbow-gracing sleeves and a sharply cut back framed with pearl edging. Styled by Tanvi Ghavri and assisted by Srika Badkar, the sari was framed with beaded tassels towards the hem of the pallu and the sleeves of the blouse.

The jewellery, taking a hard left from minimalistic jewellery trends, featured a wide diamond and emerald choker that sat high on the neck, paired with matching earrings and bangles. While the shape and design of the bijoux were rooted in tradition, the mixing of gems steeped it in contemporary styles.

Tara Sutaria’s hair was sleek, parted clean and pinned into a low bun, finished with a cluster of jasmine. Her makeup was luminous with bronzy cheeks, soft, smoky eyes framed with wispy lashes, and a glossy lip in a peachy tone.
