As we observe #WorldSareeDay today, we celebrate the timeless elegance and versatility of the saree. And who better to embody this celebration than the saree queen herself, #VidyaBalan? Vidya’s love for sarees is well-documented, and for good reason. Whether she’s walking the red carpet or attending an event, Vidya makes the saree look effortlessly chic.

Vidya always makes it a point to experiment with different handloom fabrics, such as Kanjeevaram and Benarasi, showcasing the beauty of Indian craftsmanship. Her passion for promoting sustainable fashion and supporting local artisans is truly commendable.

Her love for sarees is not just about fashion; it’s about preserving tradition, promoting cultural exchange, and empowering women. In addition to her sartorial elegance, Vidya Balan recently paid a heartfelt tribute to the legendary singer MS Subbulakshmi on her 108th birth anniversary. The project, titled “A Recreation of Iconic Styles,” was a heartfelt endeavor for Vidya Balan. She recreated the legendary singer MS Subbulakshmi’s iconic style in a photographic series, wearing sarees specially tailored to closely resemble those worn by MS Subbulakshmi, adding a unique touch to the tribute. This homage not only honored the singer’s immense contribution to music but also celebrated her elegant and understated sense of style. Vidya’s tribute reflects her deep admiration for MS Subbulakshmi and her dedication to preserving and celebrating Indian heritage.

Vidya Balan’s unwavering love for sarees transcends mere fashion; it is a profound celebration of Indian heritage, craftsmanship, and sustainability. So here’s to Vidya Balan, our saree icon, and to the saree itself, a symbol of Indian heritage, femininity, elegance, and sustainability.
