Just when we thought the traditional Banarasi silhouette had said everything it needed to, Bollywood actresses Sanya Malhotra walked in and gave us a completely fresh script. Banarasi fabric, which is known for its rich zari and timeless drapes, has long been associated with ethnic ensembles.
It is something which you preserve, and for years, Banarasi’s heritage look has been known for its grace and sophistication. However, Sanya didn’t get that memo, as she took the classic silhouette and turned the script into a modern look that felt more like runway than ritual. Where the ensemble looked refreshing and disruptive, it did not sit well with many fashiongoers.
Sanya wore the Arsema Woven Benarais Jacket set by Anita Dongre, drenched in rich gold weaves, and was inspired by Banarasi textiles. The structured jacket came with a deep neckline, cinched waist detailing, and intricate motif placement, which looked cultured yet playful. She teamed the jacket with a matching shirt, a mini skirt made from the same fabric, and a statement blue bow attached at the centre of her blazer.
Well, the viewers might be upset by the modish use of these traditional fabrics, but her styling surely remained on point. Instead of leaning into excess, she opted for the Kashaf necklace and Negar earrings, which looked absolutely magical. She styled her hair into a sleek, middle-parted bun and carried a glowing makeup base with smoky black eyes, brown lips, and subtle blush over the cheeks.
Completing the look with a pair of black high heels, Sanya’s look collided with the old-world craftsmanship, which surely called for a rebellious moment. It’s the kind of fashion that makes the purists pause and the trendsetters start taking notes. Well, some people were not happy about exploiting the charm of Banarasis.
She shared a series of images on her Instagram, where the comment section looked divided. One user wrote, ‘Why a Banarasi piece?’, but thousands of others appreciated the vision and how beautifully the diva carried it. So, did you love Sanya’s new Banarasi look? Let us know in the comments below.
The result? A look that’s equal parts disruptive and refreshing—where old-world craftsmanship collides with contemporary edge. It’s the kind of fashion moment that makes purists pause, and trendsetters take notes.
