Over the years, Rekha has proved that timeless beauty can, after all, exist. The evergreen actor of Bollywood has delivered some beautiful performances over the last few decades. Right from Umrao Jaan to Khoon Bhaari Maang to Koi…Mil Gaya, she has always brought her A-game onscreen. The same can be said about her off-screen avatars, that is her sartorial choices. Her range of outfits, though not vast, have always exuded elegance and sophistication. Her wardrobe full of kanjeevaram saris will make anyone go green with envy.

The diva is, at most of the times spotted donning white and gold traditional attires. She has shown fashion enthusiasts how to nail softer hues but in different ways. In other words, Rekha is a trendsetter.

As the Silsila actor turns a year older on October 10, let’s take some cues from her on how to ace a kanjeevaram sari.

Clad in a beige and golden, Rekha shows how a pop of red on the lips can instantly spice up your look. A set of gold jewellery and a neat updo complemented her look nicely.
