The timeless Rekha, wearing a handmade Banarasi silk saree from fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s label, appeared ethereal in yet another captivating moment.

Rekha dazzled in the exquisitely designed saree with its elaborate gold and silver zari, which was exquisitely balanced by a little touch of pink. She exuded classic elegance. “There is always a REKHA about our Iconic and Stunning Rekhaji dressed in a handwoven Chartreuse Banarasi Kora silk sari with gold and silver zari accentuated with a delicate hint of pink #mymmsaree @manishmalhotraworld,” Malhotra wrote as the caption for a recent set of photos that featured Rekha.

Rekha, who was well-known for her intense love of Indian textiles, honoured customs with her fashion choices. Notably, Manish Malhotra often posts images of Rekha, highlighting both their mutual appreciation of traditional Indian workmanship and her ageless beauty.

A stunning image of Rekha wearing a traditional pure white saree was posted by the designer last month with the comment, “The Stunning Beauty of Iconic #REKHA … is a vision of Sublime Grace … #mymmsaree #saree #love.”

Beautiful photos of the seasoned actress wearing a classic black and gold Kanjeevaram saree from the Manish Malhotra house were posted by Manish on March 1. The designer celebrated her on Instagram, calling her “The one and only #REKHA”—regal, gorgeous, and effortlessly chic. Curiously, the enduring message of sustainability was what gave this appearance of added specialness. The traditional Sadri-inspired Bordeaux antique velvet blouse with elaborate gold zardozi embroidery, which was created in Manish Malhotra’s workshop, was a stunning restyle of the classic saree that Rekha wore years ago.

“Style Icons like Rekhaji give new meaning to sustainability and style by restoring, wearing, and restyling these exquisitely made pieces of textile and heritage art.” Manish wrote in the caption.
