Bollywood's saree game has always been strong but you knew that already. Whether for an awards function or celebrity wedding, it's the garment of choice for the creme de la creme of B-town. You may have believed you've seen every kind of saree style that tinsel town has to offer but you haven't discovered the majesty of chikankari sarees yet. The shadow-esque embroidery style comes replete with sequins in usually muted tones and gives the traditional craft a modern spin. It's no wonder that the film industry's premier stylistas have stepped out in style wearing chikankari sarees.
