Sreeleela never misses a chance to wear a sari. Not long ago, the actor wore an emerald-green sari from Papa Don’t Preach with embroidered coins and paisley motifs. This time around for an award show, the actor turned to a green traditional gold zari sari.
The georgette sari featured exaggerated buttis woven with peacock motifs in gold zari across the body. A double gold zari border brought together peacock, floral and paisley motifs, while the pallu was adorned with intricate gold zari weave akin to broad sari borders of traditional sari designs. Sreeleela draped the sari in the classic nivi style and paired it with a matching sleeveless blouse. For accessories, stylist Kavya Sriram chose a statement necklace that combined green gemstones, diamonds and pearls in a clover-leaf motif. A green lotus-motif anklet added another layer of detail, while matching chandelier earrings, a ring and a stack of green gemstone and diamond bangles, all from Hyderabad-based jewellery house The Amethyst Store completed the look. For the beauty look, she went for a luminous base with winged eyeliner, defined lashes, nude lips and a matching bindi, while her hair was styled loose in soft curls.
The Gen-Z actor often reaches for saris and brings her own slant to them. Previously, the actor made a case for monochromatic dressing in a green fluid-georgette sari by Sawan Gandhi in November of 2025. In April this year she wore Torani’s georgette sari featuring floral chintz-inspired prints in muted reds, dusty blues and earthy tones. For another recent appearance, she chose a ruby-red georgette sari by Vvani by Vani Vats, which featured narrow lines of hand-cut mirror embroidery running across the length of the drape.
From Vogue‘s fashion desk:
“Even the most traditional-looking saris—like Sreeleela’s silk number—can look modern by changing the blouse style. A sleeveless blouse is one of the easiest ways to zhuzh your look. Sometimes, the simplest designs can uplift the look,” says Ashwini Arun Kumar, Vogue India fashion features editor.
