Is Swara Bhasker taking saree cues from best bud Sonam Kapoor?

Trolls gave hilarious names to Swara Bhasker’s saree like ‘nurse wali outfit’, ‘jail ki kaidi’ and ‘municipal hospital ki aaya’. We don’t particularly buy those statements (although we’re tempted to), but one thing is for sure! The actress seems to have taken some serious lessons from her bestie Sonam Kapoor, who is undoubtedly the queen of experimental sarees.

Swara recently wore a black and white Label De Belle saree fresh off the LFW runway for the launch of a local channel’s digital platform. Aha, we love this concept saree that has beautiful swadeshi vibes. It looks likes she’s on a mission to promote the ‘Mera Joota Hai Japani’ sentiment and reminds us of Sonam Kapoor’s myriad eccentric looks, especially the unforgettable Anavila Misra saree she had worn a while ago. Even she had opted for shiny black shoes just like Swara’s footwear from Stella.

Ms Bhasker opted for a folded pallu under the white cropped jacket. The highlight of this number was the pallu that had embroidered birds and we just can’t get enough of it. Stylist Divya Saini kept the look understated with just basic black stud earrings. Makeup artist Sara Capela went chic with nude lips, well-defined eyebrows and smokey eyes. We just wish the pout was brighter in hues of orange or toned-down red. Who else feels the same?

We think there’s something about the broad black border and graphic, floor-grazing pallu that’s just so refreshing. And if you notice carefully, even the sleeves are totally anti-fit, which adds to the hatke vibe of the nine-yard garment.

We love all things unusual and it would be interesting to see what Swara has in store for us in the days to come! Even if it is at the cost of taking cues from her best bud Sonam.
