Here are some of Sonam's 'saree reimagined' takes that offer the reinventive style cues!

Retro Glam Saree

Florals as a print or embroidery are common but forever! And it's a retro-favourite! Sonam added an unexpected spin to this feminine-favourite design by choosing an organza silk saree with a throwback flair. Her ivory white sheer saree with floral patchwork detailing was given an extra lift with a full-sleeved, bells-edged blouse that featured striking blooming patterns.

With statement danglers, a detailed clutch, smokey eyes makeup, and a puff-style half-tied hairdo; Sonam gave the style cue for how to ace the nostalgic avatar!

Crochet Border Saree

Plain is perfect! But, add a little something to it and it becomes eye-catching! Sonam's brick-brown plain saree was given a hint of classic flair with a lovely crochet border. The handcrafted crochet blouse further elevated her timeless fashion that mirrored Sonam's preference for 'classic is timeless' for all fab reasons.

Can you go overboard with threadwork? Absolutely yes! Her choice of handcrafted thread-detailed earrings, clutch bag, and hair scrunchie echoed this style philosophy for sure!

Quirky Drape Saree

Yes, the nivi style drape is easy to carry but you can add an unexpected twist to it like the 'Neerja' movie actor! The Bollywood fashionista chose a lovely mustard yellow chanderi silk saree and secured the pallu at the waist and not at the usual shoulder point.

Her balloon-sleeved top-style blouse needed its moment of glory and Sonam aced this uncommon look like a true fashionista! The jadau choker, kada bangles, matte makeup, and updo bun; everything screamed beauteous!

Bold Print Saree

Prints, the more prominent they are, you define the eclectic style better! Sarees with vibrant prints showcase this simple fact - Indian weaves are way beyond the usual paisley or embroidery. They can be bold and beautiful.

'Khoobsurat' movie star's mask-print, checkered saree in off-white is proof of that. With a saree that's funky and fab; Sonam glamorized it further with gold-toned temple jewellery and red lips!

Scripts Saree

Words on a saree? It will never go unmissable! Whether the words are printed or embroidered with painstaking efforts by artisans; a saree with such noted detailing makes everything better.

Sonam radiated elegance in a white saree that was perfected with Tamil scripts and golden threads haath chaap work. The backless style, full-sleeved blouse perfectly complemented her high-impact dressing. Bold earrings, black bindi, and bun are all perfected Sonam's 'words-everywhere' saree!

Banjara Saree

A saree defined with nomadic design detailing? It mirrors the globally inspired attitude! The fashion maven reflected this fashion blueprint in a plain white saree glamourized with a broad boho thread and mirrorwork border. The matching bohemian, multicolour threadwork jacket with pom-pom edging added the whimsical flair to the traditional ensemble.

'Veere Di Wedding' movie star accentuated the striking ethnic drape with all things boho, including the choker, danglers, kadas, and of course juttis!

Maximalist Saree

Print on print is one of the noted rules of maximalist fashion. The long-haired Bollywood beauty shared the 'extravagant dressing' cue in a jungle-inspired green saree featuring nature print and wildlife-inspired patchwork additions.

Sonam added the excessive-glam touch to the printed saree by layering it with the 'big cat' print long stole. The green-stoned jewellery, smokey eyes, and sleek bun rightly complemented her 'more is more' aesthetic!
