It seems disco is back, and with it, a fierce revival of bold prints and funky silhouettes reminiscent of 70s Bollywood. Actress Triptii Dimri, known for her impeccable style, is leading this retro trend. During promotions for her upcoming film, she sported a teal gossamer organza sari from Ekaya Banaras, adorned with a striking red and white floral print. The digital-printed sari was paired with a sleeveless blouse featuring a deep V-neckline that showcased her sun-moon tattoo. A matching floral scarf added a touch of whimsy, complemented by classic red bangles and bright yellow vintage Givenchy sunglasses. Her half-up, half-down hairstyle and bold winged eyeliner perfectly accentuated the vintage feel, evoking images of 70s icons like Hema Malini, Rekha, and Zeenat Aman.
This isn’t the first time Dimri has embraced the 70s fashion revival. Earlier this year, Sara Ali Khan channeled a similar 1970s-inspired look, draping herself in a beautiful pink georgette sari with intricate prints and styling it with a classic middle-parted hairstyle, reminiscent of her grandmother Sharmila Tagore’s iconic style.
Dimri’s recent fashion choices have gone beyond just the 70s. For another film promotion event, she donned an exquisite Kashida sari from Tarun Tahiliani’s 2024 Otherworldly collection. The paisley-print sari in shades of blue, red, and pink was finished with a gota patti work border. She paired it with a cut-out red blouse featuring colorful tassels, along with dainty earrings from Khanna Jewellers.
Triptii Dimri’s style evolution is a testament to her ability to seamlessly blend vintage inspiration with modern trends. Her choice of saris, each with its unique design and history, demonstrates a deep appreciation for traditional Indian textiles and a bold understanding of how to reinterpret them for a contemporary audience.
