Sara has always embraced her Indian heritage, and we wanted to highlight that through her appearance. The 12-panel intricately embroidered skirt, with the two drapes she wore, reflected the attention to detail. The embroidery work on the outfit was exceptionally elaborate and a great representation of our rich history of Indian craftsmanship. The head veil trail was the final flourish to make a grand entry onto the red carpet. We wanted her to showcase India, classic #abujanisandeepkhosla"
