Actor Vidya Balan has been repeatedly accused of being a style offender, but that hasn’t stopped her from doing it her way.

At the Star Screen Awards, the actress was again a fish out of water. She chose to wear a classic Kanjeevaram sari, with a traditional threequarter sleeve blouse and vintage style earrings, while others wore the sari in the modern “cocktail” form.

While the evening saw other actresses such as Aishwarya Rai, Gul Panag and Celina Jaitley opting for saris in contemporary fabrics to get a snug fit, Vidya dared to wear a heavy silk considered bulky.

Though Vidya did not manage to get the drape quite right and the saree looked clumsily wrapped around her, this new style statement by Vidya is not being panned across the board.

In fact, it has led to a debate in fashion circles on whether there is indeed a place for the traditional saree on modern red carpets.

Designer Rina Dhaka says, “It’s great to see someone bringing a classic style back in vogue. I am myself dying to rework tradition. However, I would like it with a modern balance. Kanjeevarams are great but I would like to see them today with a contemporary touch, with factors such as wearibility and comfort, while retaining their originality.” Designer Priya Kataria Puri says, “It is a good idea to promote our heritage weaves but the idea is to present them in a flattering way. The way Vidya wore it may only discourage the younger lot from trying the look. Since Kanjeevaram is heavy taffeta silk, it adds bulk to the body. You should try it only if you are tall and slim. Also, it’s important to team it with a sexy blouse. The threefourth sleeve look that Vidya promoted is very dated and lacks imagination.” She adds, “Kanjeevaram is a lovely fabric but it has its limitations, it is shapeless and hence needs clever styling. You can look striking if you wear a taffeta silk with a sexy faux fur blouse.”
