Vidya Balan, a powerhouse of talent, the poster girl for the curvaceous Indian woman and the diva with an unflinching attitude has carved a niche with her innately traditional style sense and fashioning her presence with élan. Not the one to follow trends blindly, VIdua asserts her stark demeanor with aplomb and blends ethnicity with contemporary sensibilities. With her on-screen exuberance firmly in place, Vidya’s style game has undergone a phenomenal metamorphosis. Her go-to fashion stylist duo, Pranay Jaitly and Shounak Amonkar have grasped this keen off-screen sensibility only too well. The FICCI (Federation Of Indian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry) event that transpired in Jaipur saw Vidya Balan don an Anita Dongre neo-ethnic creation. The ruby toned jacket - pant set, priced at Rs 110,000 is hand-embroidered by the women artisans of SEWA in motifs inspired by nature.
Making a poignant point with her ethnic style is her thriving vibe. Without further ado, lets recap Vidya’s #OOTD.
