Kriti Sanon just set the next shaadi trend with her collared pallu saree

Kriti Sanon has always had a knack for balancing tradition with a touch of the unexpected, and her latest look at a UNICEF event on Monday proved just that. Ditching the usual drapes, she opted for a printed collared pallu saree from Studio Surbhi—and trust us, it was the kind of statement-making elegance that turns heads without screaming for attention.

The star of the look? Studio Surbhi’s Ivy Gardenia Collar Pallu Saree, priced at INR 20,000. This isn’t your regular six yards. Think of it as a love child between a power-collared shirt and a timeless saree, all wrapped up in lush ivy gardenia print. The pre-stitched georgette satin skirt makes it slip-on easy, while the signature collared pallu gives the silhouette a structured, contemporary vibe. The embellished belt cinched her waist perfectly, and the tailored blouse tied the whole look together.

It’s the kind of piece you wear when you want to look rooted in tradition but still ready for a champagne brunch. A fusion that feels effortless, not overthought.

For one, the collar is the hero here, it adds just the right amount of sharpness to balance out the softness of the drape. The ivy gardenia print keeps it playful and fresh, steering clear of being too formal. And let’s not forget the ease factor: pre-stitched means no fiddling with pleats or worrying about the pallu falling apart mid-event.

Studio Surbhi has been known for reimagining traditional wear with a modern twist, and this saree is proof that they can make even the most classic pieces feel current.

Kriti kept her accessories in check because with a saree like this, you really don’t need much. She wore delicate drop earrings from Aquamarine Jewellery that added a glint without overpowering the neckline. A couple of chic rings from Mozaati brought in that subtle sparkle, keeping the look balanced. Her hair was sleek and fuss-free, letting the collared pallu shine.

Whether you’re headed to a cocktail party, a reception, or a cultural event where the dress code says “ethnic but make it modern,” this look is a winner. Kriti Sanon has once again reminded us that when you pair smart design with confident styling, tradition doesn’t just meet modernity, it dances with it.
