Shruti Haasan Redefines Festive Glamour with Her Black Banarasi Saree

When everyone’s reaching for reds and golds this festive season, Shruti Haasan decided to go her own way and made black the new festive favourite. Known for her edgy, unapologetic style, the actor stepped into the spotlight wearing a midnight-black Banarasi saree from Shanti Banaras, proving that elegance doesn’t always have to shine in bright hues.

The handwoven silk drape, accented with fine silver zari work and subtle floral motifs, exuded quiet luxury. Its delicate detailing shimmered softly under light, giving the saree a glow that felt both regal and contemporary. Shruti’s choice brought a moody sophistication to the festive palette classic, yet rebellious in spirit.




Banarasi sarees have always symbolised Indian craftsmanship and tradition, but Shruti’s version reimagined it for the modern woman. The ebony tone gave the look a modern twist, celebrating heritage while making it feel new and fiercely individual.



In true Shruti fashion, her styling was understated yet impactful. She paired the saree with ornate jhumkas from Golden Window and an oxidised silver ring from Vasundhara: Creative Jewellery, letting the fabric and her effortless confidence do the talking. No heavy layers, no loud makeup just timeless grace with a hint of rockstar edge.

This look isn’t just festive it’s versatile. Whether for a wedding night or a quiet family gathering, Shruti’s black Banarasi proves that power dressing can be poetic. In her hands, tradition isn’t just preserved it’s reinvented with attitude and grace.
