Upasana Kamineni wears a saree to the Oscars
On Monday (IST), Ram Charan walked the champagne carpet at the Oscars ceremony with his pregnant wife, Upasana Kamineni. Like Ram Charan in a three-piece Indian sherwani, his wife also showcased the traditions and culture of India with a gorgeous saree. A strong advocate of eco-conscious and sustainable fashion, Upasana's traditional yet elegant look for the 95th Academy Awards was testimony to her ethical choices. She exuded elegance in a sustainable customised ivory silk saree by Hyderabad-based designer Jayanti Reddy.
Upasana's silk saree is made using handwoven silk - created from recycled scraps - to promote ethical and responsible fashion. The elegant six yards is adorned with handmade borders featuring an intricate design. She wore it with a matching silk blouse embellished with scalloped lace on the half-length sleeves.

A messy low bun, glossy mauve lip shade, a dainty bindi and minimal makeup rounded off the glam picks.
Hyderabad-based designer Jayanti Reddy, who also happens to be a dear friend of the couple, explained the thought behind Upasana's red-carpet look. She said, "For her appearance at the Academy Awards, Upasana was eager to wear a handwoven and sustainable outfit. Keeping this in mind, we created a saree with spun silk made from recycled scraps of fabric and subtle embroidery. The eloquent saree was crafted by local Telangana artists and carried the essence of love and cultural heritage."
