Lime is a difficult colour to carry, and in silk, it tends to take over entirely. Aditi Rao Hydari’s Raw Mango sari does not try to temper that. The mulberry silk holds the colour in a single field, with the surface broken only by small zardozi florals placed at intervals rather than packed together. Along the edge, a narrow kiran border runs cleanly, catching light in short flashes.. The blouse is cut in the same lime tone with puff sleeves and a clean neckline; it does not introduce a second idea. That variation comes almost entirely from the jewellery by Indriya Jewels. A close-set choker sits tight at the neck, while the earrings extend outward with a mix of drops and cuffs, widening the frame of the face.. The eyes are defined and slightly extended, the brows are shaped but not heavy, and the lip sits in a soft nude pink.. Rao Hydari’s soft spot for a classic six-yard from Raw Mango has been long-documented, sporting them everywhere from red carpets to weddings, including for one of her own ceremonies.
