Suhana, Shanaya, Rashmika Make Tissue Saris Cool Again

Last updated on: October 29, 2025 08:25 IST

Move over sequins and silk, this season it’s all about the soft shimmer of tissue saris.

Once reserved for moms' closets and grandmas' trousseaus, the glimmering fabric is now getting the ultimate Gen-Z reboot. Young celebs are proving that tissue isn't old-school, it's the 'in thing' for weddings and celebrations.

Light, shiny and camera-approved, the tissue sari is officially the trend to drape yourself in.
