This Raw Mango Sari on Aditi Might Be the Prettiest Thing You’ll See All Day

If elegance with an edge had a face, it would be Aditi Rao Hydari in this purple power moment. The actor—who pretty much has royalty in her blood and her wardrobe—just stepped out for an awards night in Mumbai wearing a sari so dreamy, it deserves its own slow-mo reel.

She picked the Gulkhera sari from Raw Mango’s latest ‘Garland’ Festive 2024 collection—a lush jamuni (deep purple, but make it poetic) satin silk number that legit looks like it belongs in a Mughal mini painting. The sari came alive with intricate hand-embroidered zardozi, done in naqshi and metal sequins, lined up in delicate patterns that gave three-string garland at the palla realness. Traditional, but make it fabulous.

But the real cherry on this gulab jamun look? The ‘Kadambai’ blouse. Crafted in rich Varanasi silk brocade, it wasn’t just a matchy top—it was a whole moment. The design channelled the jhol of mogra gajras—yes, the kind your nani probably wore in her braid—reimagined as a scalloped jaal pattern that danced across the fabric. A total “if you know, you know” nod to heritage styling.

To round it all off, Aditi paired the look with chunky temple-style jhumkas from Indriya Jewels (go big or go home, right?), a dewy skin beat that screamed soft glam, and a breezy loose braid that kept things unfussy but polished.

She’s not just wearing tradition—she’s romanticising it. Aditi has always had a soft spot for classic six-yards, but she brings her own quiet luxury with a touch of nostalgia twist to every drape. Whether it’s Banarasi, organza, or a zardozi moment like this, she knows exactly how to keep it classy, culture-rich, and totally crush-worthy.
