What did Jacqueline Fernandez wear? A rani pink Banarasi silk saree with diagonally falling silver and gold zari stripes and a matching antique gold blouse along with Kundan jhumkas and a heavy gajra in her hair.
Rani pink is not a shy color, and she did not hold back. She left it all out there and then tacked on gold, a touch of red, and lots of white flowers.
The Banarasi Drape
The saree is Banarasi silk in a bright rani pink. Silver and gold zari stripes cut across it on a diagonal, with fine woven metallic motifs in between. The diagonal lines draw the eye along the drape rather than letting it settle in one place, making the saree feel as if it is in motion even as she stands.
The zari work is delicate. It adds shine without covering the pink, and using both silver and gold gives the color a cool glint and a warm one. For anyone who thinks a saree look in this shade has to be loud, this one shows some restraint in the detailing.
Border and Pallu
The heavy border and pallu carry the real handwork. Hand embroidery, shimmering sequins and zari cutwork cover both, and the density stands out against the lighter striped body. When the pallu falls, you see all of it.
This part of the ethnic outfit does the talking. The body of the saree stays calmer, so the eye goes straight to the edges.
The Antique Gold Blouse
She wears a sleeveless blouse in antique gold with a classic scoop neckline. The fabric is covered in sequins and beads, all over, in an intricate pattern.
Gold sits easily beside Rani pink. It is warm, it matches the zari, and it does not fight the saree for attention. The neckline stays plain, which gives the beadwork room. Nothing about the blouse tries to outdo the pallu.
Kundan Jhumkas, Bangles and a Cocktail Ring
The Kundan jhumkas are the main piece of jewelry. Small pink and red drops hang from them and pick up the saree’s color. They give the whole outfit a traditional finish.
On her hands, she layers glass bangles with metallic bangles, and a bold cocktail ring completes her jewelry. The glass bangles have a soft look, and the metal ones reflect the same light as the zari. A cocktail ring is a trendy accessory to juxtapose Kundan, and it works well with the other pieces of jewelry as they are all in warm colors.
The Gajra and the Soft Glam Finish
Her hair is half-up and half-down, but a small amount of hair at the front is curled into a puffed knot. A thick strand of fresh white gajra falls down the plait, completely changing this otherwise mundane style into an exciting festive one. The white contrast stands out against all the pink, and the real flowers add just the right amount of softness that the metallics would never have been able to provide.
Her makeup looks tidy and well done. Her eyes are drawn in with winged eyeliner and well-defined brows while her lips are filled in with a muted mauve-pink shade. The color of her lips doesn’t clash with the saree but instead complements it while letting the glam of the outfit do the talking.
One Detail Worth Copying
If this celebrity saree look leaves you with one idea, take the gajra. A white flower can upgrade your heavy look with minimal cost. Jacqueline Fernandez had this beautiful strand of white flowers along with rani pink, antique gold and Kundan which truly made her stand out. Pair up something similar with your saree and see how different a few fresh flowers can make you look!
