Vidya's silk saree comes in a purple hue adorned with tassel work on the borders and intricate brocade motif embroidery done in silver on the pleats and pallu. The star wore the drape in traditional style, letting the pallu fall from her shoulder. She matched the six yards with a matching backless blouse piece featuring a round neckline, body-hugging fit, and quarter-length sleeves.

Vidya styled the traditional look with ethnic gold-toned jewellery, featuring a heavy Kundan-embellished necklace, matching jhumkis and a statement stone-adorned ring. Lastly, she chose a centre-parted sleek bun adorned with a white gajra, a dainty bindi, black eyeliner, mauve lip shade, subtle eye shadow, mascara on the lashes, glowing skin, blushed cheeks, and well-defined brows for the glam picks.

Vidya's saree is a perfect choice for Pandal hopping during the last two days of Durga Pujo. You can style the saree with heavy jewels and statement accessories like Vidya or choose heavily oxidised silver jhumkis and bold makeup picks with open tresses to take things up a notch.
