Our reticent Oscar nominee A R Rahman has finally packed his bags for the big night. When he left for LA on Friday, his bag had a variety of options that his stylist Vijayeta Kumar suggested him and his wife Saira to wear.

Options galore
According to TSG International’s CEO Charu Sachdev, Rahman has bought a Lanvin tux from their store in Bangalore. “Besides, he had also bought a gray pintuck shirt and a black shirt to go along with the tuxedo,” she says.

According to sources, fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee has also made a set of clothes for both Rahman and Saira. Apparently, the Kolkata-based designer has made a Kashmiri-kantha black tone-on-tone kurta and Aligarhi pyjamas for Rahman and a bodycon (body-contoured) kurta and an antique dupatta for Saira. Besides, sources confirm, Saira has also got a couple of outfits made by a tailor in Chennai.

Kumar, who has put together a few garments for Rahman and Saira, says that the couple will be attending other events besides the red carpet at the Oscars.”
