Sonali Bendre's sunset-hued saree with appliqué blouse took 500 hours of labour
(Image Credits: Instagram) Sonali Bendre's unique sense of style perfectly blends nostalgia with sheer elegance. Transcending time, her latest outfit is yet another testament to her evergreen class and aura, which serves as a beautiful and romantic sunset tale. Her latest appearance in a stunning, shaded chiffon saree by Nachiket Barve is a mere continuation of an appealing narrative that requires your sincere attention. Dyed in warm sunset hues that moved from the shades of saffron to deep scarlet, the six yards of grace looked nothing short of spectacular in its own way. She wore this piece from the designer's Caravan collection, which dates back 13 years and was inspired by the Silk Route. Dipped in gradient sunset shades with an armoured blouse, this new collaboration looked absolutely mesmerising. (Image Credits: Instagram) Crafted in gossamer-thin chiffon saree and dyed by hand to mimic the sky transitioning through dusk, the colours melt graciously into each other. However, the standout moment was the creation of the blouse that truly set the look apart. It's the designer's trademark appliqué work, which required 500 hours of labour and featured seven different types of flowers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Photos Captured the Exact Wrong Moment Read More Undo 10 Indian saris every woman should have in her wardrobe Enriched with sequin work, beading, thread embroidery, bugle beads, and cutwork, the intricacy looked breathtaking, taking the haute couture level a notch higher.

Princess Anne's 75th birthday portrait: New hair, classic Festoon Tiara, and Sir Tim by her side
for Buckingham Palace Princess Anne is marking her 75th with a fresh look and a familiar sparkle. A new portrait released ahead of her birthday shows the Princess Royal standing with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence. The image was taken before the French state banquet at Windsor Castle in July. The first thing people will notice is her hair. Anne has worn a similar bouffant style for about five decades. In this portrait she switches to a smooth chignon. It is elegant, neat, and suits the formal setting. The change is rare for her, which is why the photo drew quick attention. The second talking point is the tiara. Anne chose the Festoon Tiara, a long-time favorite in her rotation. She received it as a gift in 1973 after christening a ship for the Worldwide Shipping Group. The design sits low and balanced, which works well with the new hair. Together they create a cleaner frame around her face. Photo byfor Buckingham Palace The portrait also doubles as a quiet nod to partnership. Sir Tim stands with her, as he often does at major state events. The two married in 1992 and keep a low profile. Their presence together in the birthday image sets a warm tone as family plans take shape for the coming weeks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Belarus: Unsold Sofas at Bargain Prices (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo There is context behind the timing. The palace shared the photo one week before her August 15 birthday to start the celebrations. It was shot by royal photographer Chris Jackson. He captured it at Windsor before the banquet held for the French state visit from July 8 to 10. The result is formal but relaxed, a look that fits Anne's usual style. Fashion notes aside, the image also lands after a busy and challenging year. Anne remains one of the most active working royals by engagement count. Last year she briefly stepped back after a horse-related incident near her home. She returned to duties and later said the experience was a reminder that each day is a bonus. The new portrait, bright and composed, underlines that message without a single word. Reactions so far focus on two themes. Many like seeing a small style reset that still feels like Anne. Others appreciate the continuity of the Festoon Tiara, a piece linked to her early twenties and worn across decades. It is a simple mix of new and old. That balance is what people expect from her. As the birthday week begins, more pictures and appearances are likely. For now, one frame does the job. New hair. A classic tiara. Her husband at her side. It is a quiet portrait that still says a lot about how Anne works, dresses, and shows up for the role she has held for most of her life.
