Vidya Balan's Kanjeevaram silk saree comes in an exquisite sheen green shade adorned with broad gold patti borders and a pink and gold embroidered pallu featuring tassels. She wore the six yards in traditional draping style, letting the pallu fall elegantly from her shoulder.
Vidya completed her traditional look with a matching pink and gold-coloured silk blouse featuring half-length sleeves, a wide U neckline, and a dori tie and cut-out on the back. For accessories, she wore multi-coloured bangles in one hand, a gold chain and necklace, and matching earrings.
Lastly, Vidya tied her tresses in a sleek centre-parted bun adorned with sindoor and white gajra, and for the glam picks, she went with a mauve lip shade, black eyeliner, kohl-lined eyes, a red bindi, blushed cheeks, glowing skin and darkened eyebrows.
If you plan on wearing a silk saree just like Vidya Balan for the Diwali festivities, you can glam things up by wearing a belt on the waist, leaving your tresses open and going for bold glam picks.
