How did Swara Bhasker drape her saree?

At the Cairo Film Festival, Swara wore the six yards differently. Instead of draping the saree traditionally, the actor pleated it around her waist. Then, Swara placed the pallu on her shoulders like a dupatta, covering her torso and displaying the back of the ensemble.

Coming to the design elements, the vermilion red chiffon saree features ‘gold embroidery inspired by Lucknow’s Kamdhani metalwork reinterpreted as custom-cut gold sequins in intricate Egyptian motifs’. According to Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, Kamdhani’s metalwork originates in Egypt, where it was called Muquaish.

Swara wore the six yards with a matching red blouse featuring full-length sleeves, a cut-out on the back, and embellished dori ties. Lastly, a pearl-adorned headband, ornate bracelets, a centre-parted sleek bun, nude lip shade, winged eyeliner, glowing skin and blushed cheeks gave the finishing touches.
