Saree style gowns are not a very recent innovation. We saw the first gown that was styled like a saree two decades back when Princess of Wales, Diana, wore it. The fuchsia coloured gown draped like a saree with a pallu became a rage in the 90s. But slowly, this trend of gowns inspired by the Indian saree style faded away.

However, when Paris Hilton arrived in India in 2012 to launch her handbag store, she wore a pink coloured saree style gown. This brought back the trend of saree style gowns in motion again. Another exquisite example of gowns that look like a saree was worn by Hollywood celebrity Haydon Panettiere at one of the events in 2012.

Saree style gowns basically mimic the fall and drape of a saree. The gowns styled in this way often come with a 'pallu' or a drape hanging loose from the shoulders. Even a normal one-shoulder gown can be given the look of a saree style outfit if the sleeve is loose like 'pallu'.

Here are some of the best gowns that have been inspired from the Indian saree.

This gown worn by Haydon Panettiere is a classic piece. Whether it is the azure colour of the drape or the shimmering garment, it is surely the best saree style gown we have seen in a while.
