Bhumi Pednekkar’s ensemble captures Tarun Tahiliani’s craftsmanship at its most ornate. Styled by Manisha Melwani, the look features a hand-embroidered silk sari in a deep wine hue, its surface densely worked with zardozi, resham and metallic thread, creating an interplay of texture and light. The borders echo Bidri-inspired geometry, rendered in antique gold and rose-toned embroidery, while the pallu glimmers with sequinned latticework and jewel-toned accents. Paired with a matching, intricately beaded blouse, the ensemble carries Tahiliani’s signature of heritage craft filtered through a modern lens.

Originating from Bidar in Karnataka, Bidri is a centuries-old metal inlay craft traditionally practised in silver. Known for its intricate geometric and floral patterns, the technique leads to a striking interplay of matte and shine, an effect Tahiliani translates here through metallic threadwork and embroidery.
Bhumi Pednekkar’s accessories extend the look’s maximalist language through gemstone-led pieces. A ruby and pearl choker from Golecha Jewels anchors the neckline, its Baroque South Sea pearls and emerald carvings at the back lending it richness. The ruby paisley ear cuffs by Amaris Jewels introduced a sculptural edge, while rings from Golecha add hints of gold across her hands. The maroon Meera Mahadevia clutch mirrors the textural play of the sari’s embroidery.
The beauty look consisted of hair pulled back into a polished bun, contoured skin, a glossy mauve lip and eyes defined with pink shimmer and soft wings.
From Vogue’s fashion desk:
“Ease the tension by going minimal on the accessories. remove the ear cuff and choker, and add a pair of dainty jhumkas instead. Open up the hair and go dewy and fresh on the makeup by removing the burgundy eyeshadow. Lose the clutch and add a micro chrome bag with silver chain,” says Vogue India fashion associate Manglien Gangte.
