Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s Statement Saree Look Is Desi Meets Drama

When it comes to experimental Indian fashion, no one does it quite like Shilpa Shetty Kundra - and her recent appearance in a Papa Don’t Preach by Shubhika statement saree proves just that.

Shilpa Shetty recently turned heads in a pastel pink embellished saree from Papa Don’t Preach, but what made the look go viral was her unconventional pairing - a floral embroidered bralette in place of a blouse. The saree, known for its vibrant appliqué work and modern silhouette, was elevated even more with this bold fusion twist.

The bralette itself was a riot of colours - teal, yellow, pink, and gold - adding texture and flair to the otherwise dainty saree. The entire vibe screamed 'fresh, fierce, and fashion-forward.' Styled by Mohit Rai, the look was completed with a matching potli bag and metallic heels. The addition of statement floral earrings tied the ensemble together, lending a dreamy, almost fairy-like touch.

But that wasn’t all. What really set this look apart was how she balanced maximalism with ease. Her makeup was kept minimal - think dewy skin, soft kohl eyes, and a nude lip - allowing the outfit to shine. Her hair, styled in a loose wavy ponytail, added just the right amount of playfulness.

This look is a perfect example of how Indianwear can be modernised without losing its charm. The bralette-as-blouse trend is already big on the runways, and Shilpa just gave us a masterclass on wearing it in real life. It’s perfect for bridesmaids, festive parties, or even your mehendi if you’re feeling bold.

So if you’re in the mood to ditch the usual and go the ‘hatke’ route, take a cue from Shilpa’s experimental glam. Saree with a twist? We’re here for it!
