Mouni Roy stuns in a blazer-saree: Here’s how B-town is giving the traditional drape a contemporary twist

Bollywood celebrities are redefining saree styling by blending the traditional drape with contemporary elements. From Mouni Roy’s blazer and tie combo to Ananya Panday’s saree-dhoti fusion and Malaika Arora’s leather saree, these fashion choices showcase creativity, inspiring audiences to experiment with modern twists on classic ethnic wear.

Celebrities no longer seem inclined to stick strictly to either traditional or contemporary outfits. In fact, they are experimenting with different designs, colours, and styles, keeping audiences fascinated with their choices.

Mouni Roy’s latest post on Instagram is a perfect example. The Brahmastra actress shared a picture of herself in a black striped saree. Skipping the conventional blouse, she paired it with a white shirt, a golden tie, and a blazer with gold accents. With her hair styled in a bun and pink-toned makeup enhancing the glam, Mouni exuded boss-lady vibes.

Recently, Karisma Kapoor stepped out for an event in a black saree, giving it a modern twist with well-structured shimmery black jacket. The all-black ensemble blended tradition with contemporary flair and was elevated with a black Sabyasachi clutch. With a sleek bun and berry-toned lips, she wowed her fans.

Another fine example is Ananya Panday, who shared pictures from a recent shoot, where she redefined saree styling. She wore a one-shoulder saree as a blouse, pairing it with gold men’s dhoti. The unique combination caught audiences’ attention, offering an edgy yet old-world charm. A gajra in her loose tresses, a bindi, and natural makeup completed the look.

Malaika Arora, on the other hand, stunned in a pre-draped black leather saree that left fans awe-struck. The traditional drape was given a bold, modern edge with a crop top blouse. She stood tall and elegant, accessorising with both traditional and contemporary jewellery.

Finally, Sophie Choudhry epitomised grace in a metallic blue saree. While the six-yard drape was traditional, the light and fluid fabric gave it a modern and chic appeal. She paired the gorgeous creation with a halter-neck blouse and matching jewellery, adding a sophisticated touch.
