Rashmika Mandanna’s saree from Raw Mango said it all in her latest meeting with the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thalapathy Vijay. Is it a necessity to wear power suits? Rather than donning an ordinary formal dress, the actress chose to wear a traditional ensemble, thereby lending the occasion an element of cultural significance. She chose the label Raw Mango, which is known for showcasing Indian handicrafts. It is not surprising that Rashmika’s saree choice is such that it needs no elaborate decoration to grab eyeballs. This served as a reminder that sometimes it is the attire that puts forth the real statement rather than the designer itself.
Both Rashmika and Vijay Deverakonda were seen visiting the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple after their meeting with the chief minister. For her trip, Rashmika wore an elegant mustard yellow silk saree with a matching pink blouse. Vijay, on the other hand, opted for a white short kurta with a matching lungi. Time and again, Rashmika has displayed her love for Indian handloom weaves, and this Raw Mango saree was just another take on a modest yet ethnic ensemble that showcased traditional artistry while proving that handloom can be an effective contemporary fashion statement.
