Priyanka’s Saree Look Pays Tribute To Evolution Of Indian Fashion

MUMBAI- Priyanka Chopra turned heads by giving the traditional Indian saree a striking modern twist while paying tribute to the ‘globally growing influence of Indian fashion’.

The actress recently shared pictures of her look on social media, where she was seen all set for the premiere of her movie ‘The Bluff.’

She was dressed in a vibrant yellow draped ensemble that blended heritage with high fashion, giving the Indian saree a contemporary interpretation and making a statement about India’s evolving couture identity on an international stage.

The series of pictures highlighted the dramatic trail of Chopra’s bright yellow outfit flowing gracefully across the carpet. The soft drape wrapped around her hourglass figure like a contemporary saree and featured a thigh-high slit.

Priyanka wrote, “Wearing this is an ode to Ercell Bodden, my character in ‘The Bluff’. In the opening of the film, she appears with a dupatta over her head, a subtle but meaningful marker of identity and strength.”

She added, “I love a saree. And when I saw this piece walk down the couture runway last month, it felt like a saree with a modern twist. We immediately called Gaurav and asked him to hold it for me.”

“There’s a quiet power in its simplicity. The precision of the tailoring, the way it drapes and moves, felt both rooted and forward looking, and the bright yellow is so synonymous with the colorful palette of India. To me, this piece is a testament to the growing global scope of Indian fashion and how beautifully our heritage continues to evolve,” she concluded.

Backed by the Russo Brothers’ AGBO Studios in association with Amazon MGM Studios, ‘The Bluff’ also stars Temuera Morrison as Quartermaster Lee, Captain Connor’s gold-hungry consigliere, along with Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, Zach Morris, David Field, and Vedanten Naidoo in key roles.
