What makes Sreeleela’s fuchsia-orange lehenga set shine is the fabric choice beneath the embroidery. Crafted in tissue, the reflective fabric prevents the dense detailing from collapsing into visual noise.
The ensemble separates into parts of a plunging neck blouse, a lehenga skirt and a dupatta draped on one shoulder. However, visually, the pieces unite with the intricate floral motifs in zari woven across the silhouette, starting from the blouse, trailing down the skirt and finally edging the dupatta.
Rishika Devnani styles the ensemble with jewellery curated from Raj Jewellery, featuring a kundan choker necklace, a pair of kundan earrings, along with bracelets and a ring. The high ponytail clears the shoulders and neckline. The makeup stays tonal and warm, with softly defined eyes and a neutral lip.
It’s a look that understands density. By keeping decisions tight around the styling, the lehenga holds its shape visually, even in rich colour and motion.

“Replace the dupatta with a sheer, barely-there cape in a soft blush or antique rose, worn loose from the shoulders. Switch the hair to a more textured and undone feel, something softer and lived-in, maybe parted and tucked behind the ears,” says Vogue India fashion associate Manglien Gangte.
