Is This a Saree?

This is part of a Christmas themed ad for Estée Lauder featuring Chinese model Liu Wen but is she wearing a saree? I’m almost, but not entirely, convinced that she is. If so then this is another one of those out of context sarees that I mentioned in a previous post. What I mean is that this picture has no obvious Indian connection, the saree has been chosen simply because it looks beautiful. I’d certainly agree that it does.

  1. Initially, to my eye, no this is not a saree. But it definitely does come from a tradition of draped fabric, sorta Greco-Romanesque.
    Definitely very graceful and pretty.
