Beautiful, flawless, radiant and elegant – Sridevi Kapoor embodied all of this and much more! Defying age and striding with that signature flair of sophistication, Sridevi was a certified style icon and infused life in the fabulous Indian nine-yard with her eternal persona. She also resorted to taking those measures style risks, all whilst dabbling with classics and was an apt muse to some of the feted Indian designers, like Manish Malhotra, also her favourite and Sabyasachi. As a fashion-conscious veteran, Sridevi perfected her saree styles with a stunning but subtle beauty game, making us gawk at her with renewed awe every time she stepped out. A 26-year long hiatus saw her make a comeback in Gauri Shinde’s English Vinglish in 2012 followed by the role of a strong, resilient and fierce mother in Boney Kapoor’s Mom last year. On her birth anniversary today, we love nothing more than reminiscing some of her most stunning style moments in the saree over the years.

As a muse whose innate sensibilities blended seamlessly with quite a few fashion stylists like Ami Patel, Sanjay Kumar and Eshaa Amiin, Sridevi Kapoor has always been a delight.
