Little black dress of a black saree

Love this black saree – I think it is very sexy – sort of like a little black dress! I don’t think pearls would go with this, but it is a stunning black net saree.

The saree and the jewelry is sparse because they are trying to show off the bracelet.

Probably a diamond/platinum bracelet worth $50k or something.. I don’t know, I am just making up the composition of the bracelet.

Ah.. the peacock saree – as amazing as the feathers of a peacock.

Any true attempt of recreating a peacock is going to be amazing because the original is so good, even if you can capture a hint of the majesty it will be awesome.

Vidya Balan – same Sabyasachi saree

First time, it was superb; second time it was great; third time it was nice; fourth time it was acceptable; fifth time it was bearable; but enough already.

Sabyasachi has a much bigger reach in his collection – choose something else.

Showing off jewelry with black saree

At least the effort is admirable. They chose a dark saree, pleated specifically to accentuate the jewelry on the neck!
