Genelia Deshmukh wears a customised sari by Picchika, styled by Priyanka Castelino. The sari sits on a muted ivory base, with blue and green orchid motifs painted across the body in an evenly distributed arrangement.
The florals vary in scale across the surface. A larger motif appears along the pallu, while smaller painted orchids repeat across the length of the sari. Gold gota embroidery traces the stems of the flowers, introducing a tactile element alongside the painted work. The blouse is kept plain, with a white neckline and elbow-length sleeves that sit quietly alongside the detailing of the sari.
Accessories stay within a limited palette. Deshmukh wears jewellery from Kalyan Jewellers, including pearl earrings and coordinated hand accessories. A potli bag and mojris from Fizzy Goblet are added without introducing additional textures.
Her hair is styled in a neat mid-rise bun, finished with fresh flowers tucked at the back. Makeup stays natural in tone, with an even satin finish on the skin, softly defined brown eyes and rosy pink lips. A small blue bindi mirrors the painted hues of the sari.
From Vogue’s fashion desk
“Elevate the sari’s hand-painted elegance by draping the pallu over one shoulder and letting it fall along the opposite arm. Keep the hairstyle largely the same, but allow a few loose strands to frame the face for a gentler, more effortless finish. Swap the elbow-length blouse for a full-sleeved one to make it more refined. Soften the eyes with a more muted shade of palette. Drop the dangling earrings for a pair of medium-sized pearl studs to match the necklace and complete the look with open-toe white sandals for a light, contemporary touch.”
