Sawan 2025: 5 festive green sarees inspired by Bollywood actresses

Green holds a special place during the month of Sawan, symbolizing purity, prosperity, and a deep connection with nature. In the Hindu calendar, Sawan is the fifth month and is closely associated with Lord Shiva. Much like red is considered sacred in weddings, green takes on a divine significance during this holy time, with women often seen wearing green bangles, sarees, or kurtas as they pray for happiness and blessings. Embracing this beautiful tradition, let’s take style cues from our favourite Bollywood divas and celebrate the spiritual essence of Sawan by draping ourselves in enchanting green sarees.

Deepika Padukone gave her fans a fashion lesson by draping a scene-stealing saree from Sailesh Singhania’s The Winter Rose Collection. She adorned an emerald-green handwoven pure mulberry silk kadwa Banarasi saree that was enhanced with intricately woven French rose motifs all over the main bodice and pallu. Rather than opting for a matching blouse, Deepika amped the look with a lime green full puffy sleeves blouse featuring a high round neckline that looked traditional, neat, and poised.

Dripping South Indian elegance from every angle, Vidya Balan’s saree collection requires a museum showcase. Her wardrobe is filled with plain and multicoloured Kanjeevarams, Banarasi, and Chanderi silks that look royal with every drape. Commanding attention in this sleek green Kanjeevaram silk saree with a statement golden border, she paired it with a matching shoulder-length blouse, redefining sheer elegance. Completing the look with a sleek low bun hairstyle, she added a fresh jasmine gajra and looked all poised and divine.

Kangana Ranaut’s saree collection is replete with drool-worthy choices, and we can’t help but stop and stare in admiration. For an event, the ‘Queen’ actress proved her draping prowess and went for a plain dark green silk saree look featuring minimal chequered detailing all over the pallu. Adding another dark shade to her overall palette, she took a break from the monotone aesthetic and wore a half-sleeved, round neckline, simple black blouse. Leaving us swooning for more, she left her pallu cascading down her shoulder and proudly flaunted her natural curls.

Grabbing eyeballs for all the right reasons every time she drapes a six-yard saree, Anushka Sharma wore a stunning green Chanderi saree featuring dots and a thick border, which added the right amount of desi appeal to her personality. Instead of going overboard with a simple sleeveless blouse, she took things south and wore a green, elegant, elbow-length blouse with a high round neckline that exuded perfect traditional rays, making it an alluring choice for Sawan 2025.
