Sara Ali Khan embraced traditional elegance at Kalyan Jewellers’ Navratri celebrations, turning heads in a vibrant yellow silk saree with a pink embroidered border. Paired with an embellished blouse, gold jewellery and softly styled hair, the actor’s festive look offered inspiration for those seeking a classic ethnic outfit for the celebrations.
The yellow-and-pink combination brought colour to her ensemble, while traditional accessories and understated makeup kept the overall styling graceful.
Sara Ali Khan’s yellow silk saree features pink embroidery
Sara’s saree featured a bright yellow silk base accented by a contrasting pink brocade border. The combination gave the traditional drape a festive finish, with the pallu neatly pleated over her shoulder.
Designed by Manish Malhotra and The Royal Knot, the ensemble paired the rich fabric with a matching blouse featuring a scoop neckline and half-length sleeves. Gold embroidery around the neckline and sleeves added detail, while dori ties at the back and tassel accents along the hem completed the design.
Celebrity stylist Ami Patel curated the look, balancing the saree’s vivid colours with traditional styling details. The result was an outfit that combined classic Indian craftsmanship with a polished celebrity-fashion finish.
Gold jewellery adds a traditional touch
Sara completed her ensemble with an assortment of gold-toned accessories. Her jewellery included Polki jhumkis, gold bangles on both wrists, a statement ring, a necklace and an ornate kamar bandh.
The accessories complemented the yellow silk and pink border without taking attention away from the saree. The kamar bandh, in particular, added a traditional accent to the overall silhouette.
Her hairstyle followed the festive theme, with the hair styled half-up and soft waves left loose. Pink flowers provided an additional touch of colour that tied in with the saree’s border.
Soft makeup completes Sara’s festive look
Sara opted for soft, defined makeup to complement the richness of her outfit. Feathered brows, sleek eyeliner and mascara accentuated her eyes, while rouged cheeks and highlighter added a subtle glow. Glossy mauve lipstick provided a muted finish that balanced the bright colours of the saree.
The overall look brought together traditional clothing, statement jewellery and understated beauty styling—an approach that can inspire festive dressing for family gatherings, pujas and Navratri events.
Yellow is traditionally associated with Day 5 of Navratri in the colour sequence followed by some celebrations. Sara’s bright silk saree offers one way to incorporate the shade into a festive wardrobe, particularly for those who prefer a classic saree over a contemporary ethnic outfit.
