Picture perfect and a classic example of timeless beauty she was. The epitome of Indian sensuality who rocked the 80s to early 90s with her chiffon sarees (Chandni) to long skirts and western outfits (Lamhe) with such ease and charm. There is never a costume made which hasn’t added to her diva appeal that she enjoyed both on and off screen. As for the jewelry, she was a jewel herself.
The Hawa Hawai lady Sridevi dubbed the ‘Meryl Streep of India’ has left us with so many memories of dressing to the nines yet exuding grace that sadly an era of fashion has ended with her. She was the symbol of beauty, excellence, charm, and elegance who earned her spot in the hall of fashion fame forever with her signature style. Why did she go so soon? Will there be no more fashion highs? And fashion moments?
Sridevi’s fashion will always be remembered as long as you keep loving and longing for Sridevi saree style.
There are few things which dress up a woman – apparels, jewelry, cosmetics. In the case of late Sridevi, it was tradition wrapped in modernity in Sridevi saree blouse designs that made her a commanding figure on the red carpet and silver screen with equal elan.

Well, the beautiful Sridevi wore everything from opulent Banarsis and net saris by Sabyasachi to anarkalis and gowns by Manish Malhotra. The pictures of Sridevi in a saree in 2017 will remain a treat for the eyes.
