At the Mumbai trailer launch of Dhurandhar on November 18, all eyes weren’t just on the film’s star-studded male lineup. Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, and director Aditya Dhar may have arrived in sleek tuxedos, but it was the film’s young leading lady, Sara Arjun, who delivered the evening’s most memorable fashion moment.
Sara Arjun opts for a Rs 1.24 lakh Rohit Bal anarkali for Dhurandhar trailer launch — and it’s worth every stitch!
For her first major promotional appearance as a full-fledged lead, Sara stepped out in an ivory Resham Anarkali by the late Rohit Bal — a designer whose influence spans generations and who continues to define Indian couture long after his passing. Her caption, “Honoured to pay homage to a legend whose artistry will forever inspire us”, made her intention clear: this wasn’t just styling; it was a tribute.
The Outfit: Anarkali That Moves Like Air
Styled by Smriti Chauhan, Sara chose a Rohit Bal creation that balances youthful softness with classic structure. The ivory Anarkali — crafted using net and mal mal — sits in that sweet spot between traditional craft and light-as-cloud movement.
The bodice features delicate resham work, giving it a textured elegance without overwhelming her frame. The quilting border at the hem adds subtle weight, allowing the garment to fall cleanly and photograph beautifully whether she’s walking or caught mid-twirl. Paired with a matching chudidar, the silhouette feels effortless yet rooted in Bal’s signature regal aesthetic.
The ensemble retails at Rs 1,24,999, a price point that reflects the elaborate handwork and couture-level finishing synonymous with the designer.
Jewellery That Anchors the Look
To ground the softness of the ivory palette, Sara wore oxidised silver jewellery from Tribe Amrapali. The stacked kadas — bold, oversized, and unapologetically maximalist — introduce a contrasting texture that instantly sharpens the look. Paired with a statement choker and matching earrings, the jewellery brings in a crafted, almost heirloom-like depth that complements Bal’s design language.
Her hands, adorned with a chunky silver ring, continue that same narrative of traditional metallic artistry.
Beauty Notes: Nude Tones and Glossed Warmth
Makeup artist Amruta Neel kept Sara’s glam understated and youth-centric. Dewy skin, a muted rose lip, and softly defined eyes ensure the focus stays on the outfit’s detailing and her natural features. Hairstylist Tahseen Banu styled her hair in loose, cascading waves — a choice that enhances the drape of the Anarkali and keeps the look fluid and age-appropriate.
Photographed by Karan Jat, the images on Sara’s Instagram lean into warm natural light, emphasising the ivory fabric’s movement and giving the outfit a dream-like sheen. Whether standing or seated, the Anarkali pools around her in soft folds.
The comments section echoed the reaction on-ground. Ranveer Singh dropped a glowing star emoji, while fans praised her for blending simplicity with impact.
A Moment Celebrated by the Team
At the trailer event, director Aditya Dhar revealed the magnitude of Sara’s casting, saying, “Mukesh Chhabra did 1300 auditions. She was brilliant and the best of all. She’s going to be a rockstar!”
Ranveer Singh added, “It’s testament to the fact that you beat thousands of candidates to bag this part… It seems like she has done 50 films before. She is one of the finest actors I have shared screen space with.”
Hearing praise of that calibre while dressed in a piece that honours a fashion icon created a fittingly full-circle moment for Sara — an actor at the cusp of a major career leap, paying homage to a designer whose work shaped Indian couture.
