Just to jog our readers' memory (which could be totally unrequired but we shall still do it), Priyanka Chopra's 'Desi Girl' was the moment that started the craze for sarees draped low on the waist to show off an elongated torso. The Desi Girl look became a phenomenon, and is to this day considered as one of the more iconic moments of Bollywood x Fashion. When it comes to fashion, no one does it like the OG, and whenever Priyanka steps out in a saree, the whole world stops and (virtually) stares. So, to further fuel our fangirling and for the style inspo, here are eight Priyanka Chopra Saree looks we absolutely LOVED:
8 Priyanka Chopra Saree Looks That Remind Us She's The OG Desi Girl
Lime Green Saree
Priyanka recently wore this lime-green Mishru saree for her cousin Parineeti Chopra's engagement party. This ruffled saree featuring a strapless sea-coral neckline corset that drew focus on her snatched torso, is stunning and perfect to party the night away in style. With corsets being the hottest fast fashion trend these days, we loved Priyanka's desi spin on it.
Blue Benarasi Saree
Classic. Traditional. Evergreen. Leave it to Priyanka to completely flip the red-carpet game in a saree that speaks fluent royalty. Worn for the Umang Police Awards in 2020, this Ekaya x Masaba saree made my heart stop for a second. The ethereal and royal look of a Benarasi saree makes it an evergreen wardrobe staple, and Priyanka has done more than justice to this beautiful silver gotta masterpiece by keeping the details simple and neat.
Red & White Saree
Retro-pop but make it desi. Priyanka's white Sabyasachi saree with red polka dots gave us the perfect visual of the old Bollywood glam we were missing out on for our saree mood boards. This saree looks like something straight out of a YRF movie, fit for a movie star who knows how to keep the attention on her with her impeccable sense of style. Kudos to Priyanka for showing the kids how to look classy.
Black Sheer Saree
There's nothing more sophisticated and sleek than a black saree, that too a sheer black saree with a blouse that fits like a glove. Priyanka wore this black sequined saree for a pre Oscars bash she had co-hosted for the South Asian Oscar nominees and served major cocktail party inspo for fashion enthusiasts around the globe.
NMACC Benarasi Saree
While there were many hits and misses on the NMACC pink carpet, Priyanka's outfit was a complete slay and something that would remain sketched in our minds forever. The custom Amit Aggarwal ensemble was the perfect match to Priyanka's desi yet contemporary personality with the breathtaking Benarasi brocade saree draped like a quirky skirt along with a bustier made with the holographic craft we associate with all AA designs.
Yellow Saree
Little Miss Sunshine is exactly what came to our mind when we saw this saree on Priyanka. This light yellow handloom saree was worn by Priyanka to the Rashtrapati Bhawan for receiving the Padma Shri award in 2016. The floral Jamdani jaal work brought out the softness in Priyanka's saree and looked something straight out of a fairytale. The colour, the embroidery, the styling, everything was on point and suited the occasion perfectly. You can always count on Priyanka for making the right saree-torial choices.
Ivory Mukaish Saree
Regal colour? Check. Elegant embroidery? Check. Sultry blouse? Big check! At the 2019 Marrakech International Film Festival, Priyanka wore an elegant Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla saree doused in mukaish and hand-embroidered sequins paired with a not-so-traditional corset blouse. A quintessential trendsetter, Priyanka's 'barely there' blouse had set ablaze sultry blouse trends all over the internet.
Powder Green Saree
According to Priyanka's caption for this model-esque picture, this Sabyasachi saree was flown to her from around the world for a photo shoot and we have to say, it was definitely worth the hassle! The bikini blouse and the vinyl belt paired together are an unconventional combination but as we already know, Priyanka never plays it safe and absolutely ate this look. This ruffled saree is giving us model-off-duty on a beach wedding.
