Nowadays, all actresses wear gowns and trot all over the place. However, our sarees would look more elegant, and yet so appealing. So, my advice to all heroines is: start wearing sarees as well, to look more beautiful!
Filming in India was one big adventure. For 'The Cheetah Girls', we were in Mumbai for two weeks, then Rajasthan for six weeks. Every day after shooting, I would hop into a rickshaw and start exploring the city. I even learned a bit of Hindi. It's such an amazing place to visit.
I have been wearing clothes designed by Maheshwari for many years now.
Ritu Kumar's clothes are totally great. Her embroidery is perfect. She lives up to her name over and over again.
I love to complement my Indian ensembles with neckpieces and earrings and cuffs.
I think the Saree makes a woman look sexy yet graceful all at the same time.
Anyway, there is one thing I have learned and that is not to dress uncomfortably, in styles which hurt: winklepicker shoes that cripple your feet and tight pants that squash your balls. Indian clothes are better.
I can't wear a sari to save my life. So when I'm designing them, I know what I want: it definitely has to be lightweight and have pockets - girls have a lot to carry around, let's face it.
To be very honest, I cannot drape a saree myself. I have never draped one on my own, ever. But it has been done on me so many times, that now I have memorised all the steps, and if someone challenges me, I will surely be able to do it.
I adore saris. I feel they're very easy to carry. They're not only sexy and graceful, but you can also style them the way you like best.
I don't say it in the Indian fashion that is hypocritically. I say it sincerely because, instead of hatred, I feel great compassion for Mujib Rahiman.
The elegance of a sari or the flirtiness of a lehenga is matchless.
Clothing that covers the body can be comfortable or uncomfortable, depending on the fabric. In India I typically wear a full salwaar kameez of cotton, because it is superbly comfortable, and full covering keeps dust off one's limbs and at least diminishes the risk of skin cancer.
I could live in a sari; I was born to wear a sari.
My signature line of clothing for Satya Paul will showcase a distinctive aspect of my own personal style. Co-creating and endorsing a line for one of India's finest brands will be a new experience for me
I never allowed myself the luxury of those brilliant, beautiful colors until I went to India and saw people walking around in them or dragging them in the mud. I realised they were not so artificial.
I love Indian wear and I think no one can beat the masterpieces our Indian designers and craftsmen create.
The sari's radiance, vigor and variety, produced by a single straight length of cloth, should give us in the West pause and make us think twice about the zipper, the dart and the shoulder pad.
It’s a most natural way for me. I can tell people I can run in a saree and I can do five sequences in a saree. I can romance in a saree and I can do everything in a saree. For me, it’s a most versatile garment…it’s extremely sensuous and at the same time it is strong, there is an elegance and at the same time it teases your imagination…It’s very powerful.
My favourite thing to wear is a saree.
When you walk in a saree, you must kick the pleats. It becomes more comfortable that way.
I think a woman looks best in a sari.
People all over the globe love to see women in a sari. I always love to be draped in one as well.
I think Indians dress better than anyone, but I don't want to imitate more than a detail or two; I prefer my clothes humdrum and inconspicuous, and a cowboy hat just doesn't work for me.
I don't force reinvention. I play with silhouette and color, since Indian as well as Caribbean women have a penchant for these.
