Who said that sarees need to be serious? Clearly, actress Pooja Hegde is unaware of this rule, as she walked out in a vintage floral saree that gave a peek into dopamine dressing. The saree consisted of nostalgic floral patterns complemented by effortless draping and just the right amount of energy to make this six-yard piece appear very new. Amid the usual Onam trends, Pooja’s chosen outfit is proof that a saree can also be fun. For celebrating Onam, Pooja Hegde went against tradition, opting for a colourful saree instead of the typical kasavu drape. The saree that the actress chose for this occasion was from the Irrau by Samir Mantri brand.

It is made using gossamer organza and features a creative play of yellow, green, purple, and orange hues, as well as a large floral print that envelops the ensemble. The saree is complemented by an antique gold border and sequins as well as pearls and is matched with a peach-orange blouse featuring a sweetheart neckline with sleeveless charm and floral prints. The saree was indeed the main charm of the hour, but the accessories chosen by Pooja contributed significantly to the entire look. The accessories she carefully selected included handcrafted mixed metal jhumkas from the Jaipur-based label, Abhilasha, adorned with ghungroos that accentuated the antiquity of the saree.

On the makeup front, she kept things equally simple, using nude lipstick, mascara, and a tiny black bindi. For her hair, she completed the look with soft curls placed in her short bob haircut.
The simple style can be worn at any function or taken to the next level for a daytime wedding with the help of a sculptural choker, bold earrings, and a striking, metallic handbag. This drape goes perfectly from simple festival chic to a high-impact ensemble and definitely will be a choice for this coming season. Looking for trusted parenting advice?
