others, like Sreeleela’s latest lehenga, celebrate centuries of craftsmanship While some outfits follow the latest fashion trends. The ensemble showcases the beauty of traditional Indian textiles through Ajrakh prints and intricate Aari embroidery, with geometric and floral motifs bringing the Ajrakh patterns to life. So, if you’re looking for the perfect lehenga inspiration this Diwali, this piece from Sreeleela’s wardrobe deserves a spot on your Pinterest board.
Sreeleela donned a dual-tone lehenga designed by Geethika Kanumilli. This appearance is perfect for those searching for festive attire inspiration, and even though this lehenga has an ethnic look, it is kept modern owing to the colour palette. What caught our eye at the first glance has to be the wide skirt that had segments in blue and red, with each colour having two possible segments, featuring floral designs which were created in ajrakh embroidery with aari stitch, beads and sequins, while the rest of the segment had a chevron pattern made from sequins and beads. Worn by a blue blouse and a red sheer dupatta, the unique colour combination also carried a unique technique in itself, as both of the shades are highly used in the ancient block print method from Gujarat and Rajasthan.

It made use of the ‘paan’ neckline construction, which was adorned with embroidery on the sleeves and on the neckline. Matching the overall scheme of the outfit, the actress wore a flowing red dupatta, which too had the same embroidery along its borders.

The big overall effect came with the pink-hued makeup from the eyes to the lips, whereas a small bindi brought the final touch. (Image Credits: Instagram)
