The Vvaan – Force Of The Forrest, which is now screening in theatres, has put the spotlight firmly on Tamannaah Bhatia’s sari wardrobe.
The actor has a way of making six yards of fabric feel like a fashion fantasy, moving effortlessly between dreamy pastels, vibrant florals, retro polka dots and rich, regal drapes.
Her secret? Give the sari a modern corset blouse, throw in some statement jewellery and let those voluminous waves do the rest.

IMAGE: A yellow sari covered in colourful florals and paisley prints? Yes, please. Tamannaah gives the traditional drape a contemporary spin with an off-shoulder corset blouse. And we’re definitely adding white mehendi to our beauty moodboard this festive season.

IMAGE: Tamannaah turns up the heat in this fiery red. The sheer crepe drape, tonal florals and corset blouse covered in pearls and colourful threadwork make her look like she walked straight out of a romantic dream sequence.
