There’s a new pairing taking over wedding wardrobes, and it’s not just pastels and haath phools. The saree-and-jacket trend is officially having its moment. What began as a red-carpet experiment has now evolved into one of the most stylish (and practical) ways to update traditional wear. From cropped denim blazers to soft floral jackets, our favourite celebrities are giving the classic drape a twist, and we love it. Here’s how five leading ladies are showing us how to layer it right, and their style cues are totally worth stealing.

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja

No one layers quite like Sonam Kapoor Ahuja. She turned one of Ritu Kumar’s 2023 couture collection saree into a masterclass in proportion and texture. Her featherlight silk chinon sari featured a jamawar print so fine it could’ve been painted on, paired not with a blouse, but with a printed silk shirt complete with bishop sleeves and a high collar. Over this chic ensemble, she wore a velvet angarkha-style jacket called Imran, embroidered with twisted zari. Ever the stylistic innovator, Sonam draped her pallu around the waist, letting the jacket take centre stage.
