A ‘Luxury Twist’ on Leheriya in Blue
For this special look, Kangana Ranaut chose a beautiful sky-blue Leheriya saree. The light blue fabric features lovely white tie-dye stripes that evoke the imagery of rippling water waves.

What is Leheriya?
Leheriya is a traditional and highly popular tie-dye technique from Rajasthan, with a history dating back to the 17th century. In this process, the fabric is dyed to create beautiful, diagonal, wave-like stripes, making it an ideal choice for the Sawan and monsoon seasons. What made Kangana's traditional saree stand out was its golden embroidered border and the intricate floral embroidery on the *pallu*. She draped the six-yard garment with great poise and in a classic style; the front pleats and the *pallu* pinned neatly at the shoulder lent an air of elegance to her look. She paired the saree with a matching sky-blue sleeveless blouse, featuring a scoop neckline that added a modern touch to the ensemble.

**Elevating the Style with Royal Accessories and Luxury Bags**
Achieving a regal look requires not just the right outfit, but the right accessories too. Kangana complemented her ethnic attire with exquisite, classy jewelry:

She wore a gorgeous single-strand pearl necklace, diamond-studded earrings, and rings featuring pearls and emeralds. On her wrists, she sported a gold Serpenti bracelet and a classy gold bracelet watch.

To further enhance the look, she wore large-framed black sunglasses and carried a black 'Hermès Kelly' bag—a luxury brand staple.

Kangana styled her curly hair into a neat topknot—an ideal and comfortable choice for the humid monsoon weather. As for her makeup, she kept it minimal and natural, featuring a small red *bindi*, perfectly defined eyebrows, a glossy pink lip shade, and a touch of blush.
