The designer's official Instagram page described it as an an ultra-glamorous rendition of the brand's famous 'akash-tara' (starry skies) sari.

"The sari is hand-dyed and embellished with hand-cut sequins that are individually sewn using zardosi technique to create a metallic, yet fluid fabric."

Kangana's look was accessorised with a Sabyasachi 'batua' and the 'teenmaniya' necklace, crafted out of rose-cut diamonds, Colombian emeralds and basra pearls from the Sabyasachi Heritage Jewellery Collection.
