The evergreen beauty of silk sarees and Rekha's timeless looks are synonymous. The actor is known for wearing gorgeous drapes during outings or at red carpet events. For the Dabba Cartel screening, the 70-year-old star wore a beige and golden silk saree. The nine yards feature a broad embroidered gold border and delicate brocade work. She wore the saree in traditional style, with a neatly pleated front and the pallu falling from the shoulder in a floor-grazing length.

Rekha accessorised the ensemble with her signature embroidered gold potli bag, gold kadhas, rings, statement jhumkis, tinted sunglasses, and gold block heels. With her hair tied in a centre-parted bun and adorned with white flower gajra, the veteran star chose bright red lip shade, sindoor, flushed cheeks, darkened brows, winged eyeliner, and mascara-adorned lashes for the glam.
