Aishwarya Rai in Devdas

For Aishwarya Rai Bachchan the saree has always been her super power. From the conflicted young wife in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) to her penultimate moment as Paro in Devdas (2002), where she wears a heavily embroidered blue saree to convey her authority as a woman in charge of her destiny, ARB has always worn the drape in the most evocative, effective way. Always with an emphasis on sense and sensibility.
