Featuring a straight, pheran-style kurta, the actor’s look is composed of striking multi-coloured panels in shades of orange, aquamarine and yellow. It was rounded off with coordinated palazzo pants and an airy orange dupatta. The interplay of colour blocking and traditional craft lent the outfit a bohemian spirit, yet its tailored structure ensured it remained Reception-ready.
According to Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, the set belongs to their ‘Banjara’ repertoire, a line that celebrates nomadic craft traditions through contemporary silhouettes. “Sonali Bendre is a joyous vision in Banjara by Abu Sandeep,” the designer duo shared. “The freshest peach, blue and yellow pastel hues come alive to create the perfect sartorial welcome to spring. The patchwork kali kurta, crafted in silk, features multicolour resham embroidery punctuated with mirror work.” The designers also note that the piece draws inspiration from their vintage’ Rabadi’ collection, translating heritage techniques into a modern context. The result is what they describe as “bohemian grace reinvented for the 21st century woman, where craft, art and attitude converge in spirited harmony.” A memoni and organza dupatta adds a wispy contrast to the rich fabric and intricate embroidered surface of the kurta.
Bendre styled the look with a sculptural gold choker with matching drop earrings and stacked kadas. Metallic stilettos and a clutch served as the finishing touches. For glam, she went with a matte base and smoky eyes in shades of burnt orange that complemented the palette of the outfit, along with a nude pink lipstick.
