Neha Dhupia’s Urvashi Kaur ensemble recuts archival Indian textiles into modern silhouettes

Neha Dhupia’s Urvashi Kaur ensemble brings two different ideas of dressing into the same frame. The upper half leans toward tailoring: a striped tissue silk jacket, worn over a white shirt with sleeves left deliberately long and pushed back at the cuff. It reads almost like workwear with a festive flair.

Cut wide and pieced together from upcycled brocade, the skirt moves in the opposite direction, introducing volume and variation that contrast with the jacket’s structure. Carrying multiple textures and surfaces at once, the panels don’t resolve into a single pattern. Fullness, movement and volume begins at the waist and continues downward.

Jewellery is down to a single note: a neckpiece by Amrapali Jewels worn close to the neck. Younten Tsomo pulls hair into a Dutch braid bun, while kohl-lined eyes and a nude lip round off the minimal beauty look.

Kaur frequently works with reclaimed textiles, allowing variation and irregularity to remain, which is where Dhupia’s look finds its strength.

“Add an accent here to give the look an editorial edge. A metallic watch should go a long way and do the heavy-lifting. open up the shirt a button or two more, and leave the blazer unbuttoned. Add an obi belt to the waistline to break up the silhouette,” says Vogue India fashion associate Manglien Gangte.
