To usher in the wedding season, Aditi Rao Hydari embraced a bold hybrid. The actor opted for a sumptuous sharara sari from New Delhi-based label, Sureena Chowdhri. The look fuses couture detailing with comfort-led design. With its fluid drape, sculpted corset and jewel-toned depth, this look reimagines festive dressing through a modern lens.
“Aditi is wearing the Rukhsar Corset Sharara Saree from our collection, ‘Daur’. For us, the collection was crafted as an ode to timelessness. With velvets as our canvas, we wanted to create pieces that feel like keepsakes, gathering meaning and memory over time. Her outfit captures that sentiment and is designed to be worn and re-worn, to move with ease while still feeling special,” shares Chowdhri about the inspiration.

The silhouette itself is a hybrid that marries the elegance of a sari with the effortlessness of a sharara. “The sharara sari is one of our most recognisable silhouettes. And Aditi’s look is crafted in rich yet diaphanous silk velvet. The look comes together with a corset-style blouse, flared sharara pants, detailed zardozi embroidery and a soft scalloped drape. It’s the interplay of structure and softness that makes this look special, where a corset paired with the fluidity of the sharara sari and brought to life in rich two-tone velvet,” adds the designer.
The two-tone silk velvet, rendered in a blend of plum and peacock blue palette, forms its canvas. “We wanted to play with the inherent quality of silk velvet and explore how light interacts with the fabric as it moves and reveals its different shades. The plum and peacock blue together create depth and dimension, adding richness without overpowering the silhouette.” Craftsmanship is at the heart of Rao Hydari’s sharara sari, featuring a combination of zardozi, aari and resham embroidery, all meticulously done by hand. “The zardozi adds subtle metallic highlights, the aari work lends continuous fine patterns and the resham threads bring softness and tonal depth,” she explains. Few realise that zardozi was once the domain of royalty, originally crafted with pure gold and silver threads. At the same time, aari embroidery, done with a tiny hooked needle, has been passed down through generations unchanged. “Both require immense precision and patience. That’s what makes them special even today,” Chowdhri adds.
