Golden Glam: Shreya Ghoshal’s Saree Look is Perfect for Indian Weddings & Festivals

Shreya Ghoshal, the melody queen of India, recently stunned fans in a breathtaking golden embellished saree that serves as the ultimate festive inspiration. Perfectly balancing tradition and glam, this look is ideal for celebrations like Diwali, Navratri, or weddings.

The saree features rich zari work with intricate red and green thread embroidery, creating a regal palette. The golden tone complements Shreya’s warm skin tone beautifully, and the blouse design — equally ornate — enhances the overall richness of the ensemble. Her styling kept the focus on the detailed craftsmanship, showing how understated elegance can still be impactful.

Shreya paired her saree with classic temple-style jhumkas and kadas (bangles), adding a subtle South Indian touch. Her makeup was kept soft yet festive — with kohl-lined eyes, muted rose lips, and a dewy base. A mid-parted hairstyle with soft waves completed the look, proving how traditional sarees can still feel modern and versatile.



Shot against a vibrant red-orange backdrop, the images reflect a warm, celebratory vibe — just like the saree itself. This look can serve as a reference for anyone looking to elevate their ethnic wardrobe for upcoming festive seasons. Whether it’s a temple visit on Dussehra or a Diwali night puja, Shreya’s styling offers timeless elegance.

For those who love designer silk or embellished sarees, this look is a reminder that a well-embroidered drape with minimal styling can make a strong statement. Shreya Ghoshal once again proves that sarees are not just timeless, but effortlessly festive.

Style Your Sarees for Parties like a Pro! Eight Important Points To Remember

  • Choose the right fabric for the party. If you are attending a formal party, you will need a heavier fabric like silk or brocade. For a more casual party, you can choose a lighter fabric like chiffon or cotton.

  • Consider the color of the saree. If you are fair-skinned, you can choose brighter colors like red, orange, or yellow. If you have a darker skin tone, you can choose darker colors like blue, green, or purple.

  • Match the saree with the right blouse. The blouse should be made of the same fabric as the saree, or a contrasting fabric that complements the color of the saree.



  • Choose the right jewelry. The jewelry should be simple and elegant. You can wear a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet.

  • Wear high heels or sandals to add height and make your legs look longer.

  • Do your hair in a simple updo or braid. This will keep your hair out of your face and make you look more sophisticated.

  • Apply light makeup. You want to let the saree be the star of the show, so don’t go overboard with the makeup.

  • Smile and have fun! Wearing a saree should be a confident and enjoyable experience.

2 Easy Draping Tips for SILK SAREES

Silk saris are one of our most prized possessions in our wardrobe. Especially, the ones passed on to us. The gorgeous vintage silk saris.

While draping silk sarees, it’s important to understand that the length of the sari and the pallu is important. Too long of either and your saree is sweeping the floor. Silk sarees are expensive and prone to damage and the worst thing you can do is to leave it dragging on the floor. Wouldn’t you agree my friends ?

Follow these 2 easy tip next time you drape your silk saree . It will make a world of difference.

1. When draping, make sure the bottom of the saree is just slightly almost at floor level. Not too low and not too high. Remember, silk sarees are heavy and eventually the drape will come down a bit.
2. When measuring the length of the pallu, bring the fabric to the front and make sure it doesn’t go beyond the knees level or slightly below. This way, your open pallu won’t drag on the floor.


These 2 simple tips will give you a clean look and protects your sarees too.
