When it comes to Indian wear, Shilpa Shetty doesn't play by the rules - she reinvents them. Her love for sarees is evident, but it's how she wears them that sets her apart. She's often seen in sarees with contemporary drapes, unconventional
blouses or even metallic textures, turning the traditional into something truly spectacular. For example, her metallic saree by designer Amit Aggarwal showcased how a classic silhouette can be fused with futuristic design elements. It's not just about the shimmer or the cut but the attitude with which she carries it.
Shilpa also knows how to inject fun into her ethnic choices. Her lehengas often come with unexpected details, such as oversized floral motifs or caped dupattas, giving a modern twist to traditional aesthetics. For weddings and festive occasions, her outfits are an inspiration for many. Her ability to make
ethnic wear look fresh and relevant is a testament to her creative eye and her trust in India's top designers like Manish Malhotra and Tarun Tahiliani.
What can we learn from her ethnic looks? Be bold. Experiment with textures, colours and silhouettes. Mix a traditional piece with a modern accessory, like a statement belt or quirky jewellery. And most importantly, wear it like you own the
world!
