Ivana’s styling here leans into a “retro-classic” vibe. She is celebrated for her expressive screen presence, and this photoshoot captures a more mature, poised side of her personality.
- Hair & Makeup: Her hair is styled in a voluminous half-up, half-down look with soft curls, framing her face and giving off a classic 90s cinema aesthetic. Her makeup is warm-toned, featuring a subtle bindi and a lipstick shade that matches the deep burgundy of her saree.
- Jewelry: She keeps the accessories traditional and understated to let the prints stand out. She wears small gold jhumkas and thin gold bangles, which complement the warm lighting and the earthy tones of the outfit.
The Saree: Rustic Burgundy
The saree is a beautiful example of how a simple drape can be elevated through color and texture.
- Color & Fabric: The saree is a deep burgundy or maroon shade. The fabric appears to be a linen-cotton blend or a soft tussar silk. These fabrics have a natural, slightly coarse texture that holds pleats well and gives a very sophisticated, matte finish.
- The Drape: The saree is draped in a classic style with a floating pallu. The simplicity of the plain body of the saree highlights the richness of the wine-colored fabric and the movement of the drape.
- The Blouse (The Statement Piece): The highlight of this look is the contrast blouse. It features an Ajrakh or Kalamkari-inspired print, characterized by intricate hand-blocked patterns in black, cream, and rust. The earthy print of the blouse breaks the solid color of the saree, adding a “boho-traditional” layer to the outfit.
Style Summary
This look is a masterclass in Color Blocking with Prints. It’s an ideal choice for:
- Art gallery visits or cultural events.
- Evening festivities where you want a “sophisticated yet rooted” look.
- Professional settings where ethnic wear is preferred.
