Rekha has long been a muse for Manish Malhotra. Whenever she attends a glamorous evening, her outfits are almost always designed by him. This year, the two have collaborated on some of the most spectacular looks, the latest being an ivory Banarasi saree.

The legendary star recently stepped out to attend the screening of Parineeta in an elegant six-yard drape that boasted exquisite details. The richly textured silk-linen saree looked lustrous, paired with a matching full-sleeve blouse.

Describing the ensemble, Manish wrote, “Our obsessed emotion with sarees… shimmer to texture… chiffon to handloom — it’s pure love. The iconic #REKHAJI stunningly graces our ivory Banarasi saree, a masterpiece in handwoven silk linen that celebrates timeless elegance and artisanal heritage. The textured white and the song from one of her films are a metaphor to the pouring rains here in Mumbai. #mymmsaree @manishmalhotraworld.”

The actress elevated her look with glittering statement gold jewellery. Her ear cuffs and jhumkas stood out, while a stack of golden bangles added to the dazzle. Rekha carried a metallic potli bag that perfectly complemented her ensemble.

Her beauty was enhanced with flawless foundation, a touch of gold highlighter, her signature maroon lipstick, and sindoor. Meanwhile, her hair was tied into a sleek bun. Overall, the actress looked radiant in the traditional ensemble she so dearly loves.

Fans too praised her look, taking to the comments to share their admiration. One wrote, “That saree is giving elegant vibes and Rekha ji is stealing the show, she looks so beautiful and graceful.” Another said, “Every time I look at her, I fall short of words to describe her beauty. She is a legend, an inspiration.” A third added, “Rekhaji continues to amaze us in whatever look she appears in…beyond beauty, magical, and drop-dead gorgeous.”

Talking about the screening of Parineeta, it wasn’t just Rekha who stole the show, but also Vidya Balan, who turned up wearing the most ravishing red saree by Gopi Vaid Designs. True to her character in the film, Vidya looked quite the Indian beauty.
