Sonam Kapoor Upcycles Vintage Banarasi for BFF's Special Day

Sonam Kapoor, the epitome of elegance and grace, turned heads at her best friend's wedding recently.

She ditched the run-of-the-mill designer lehengas and opted for a more meaningful and sustainable choice - a vintage Banarasi saree.

The regal gold weave and intricate surface embroidery reflected the artistry of a time gone by, narrating a story of rich heritage through its antique techniques.

Sharing pictures of her stunning outfit on social media, Sonam expressed her love for the ensemble, calling it "what Indian textile dreams are made of."

She went on to describe the intricate details of the saree, highlighting the real gold weave, vintage tassels with shells and pearls

Dupatta embroidered with vintage mochi work pieces from Gujarat, some over 60 years old.

Sonam's choice wasn't just about looking stunning, it was also a conscious effort towards sustainable fashion.

To complement the heirloom saree, Sonam donned a collection of antique silver jewelry, each piece passed down through generations in her family.

The payal and bangles, some over 80-90 years old, added a touch of personal history to her ensemble.

By upcycling a vintage saree, she gave new life to a piece of textile history while promoting eco-friendly practices in the often wasteful world of fashion.
