Neena Gupta stuns at Wimbledon by breaking the traditional dress code, proudly wearing a vibrant Sanganeri saree to the match
Who says you need a crisp blazer, a pastel polo dress, or a tailored linen suit to make a style statement at Wimbledon? Neena Gupta, forever the trailblazer, just delivered a masterclass in celebrating Indian heritage on one of the world’s most prestigious sporting stages.
In a series of photos she posted from the All England Lawn Tennis Club, the veteran actor looked luminous under the London summer sky. Her outfit of choice? A pristine white Sanganeri cotton saree adorned with delicate pink rose prints-soft, airy, and effortlessly elegant. While most attendees stuck to the traditional Wimbledon uniform of tweed blazers, neutral co-ords, and understated tennis whites, Neena decided to showcase six yards of Indian craftsmanship instead.
She styled her saree with a contemporary halter-neck blouse, featuring a striking gold brooch pinned to one strap-a subtle nod to fusion dressing done right. Her hair was parted cleanly down the middle and twisted back into a sleek low bun, adding sophistication to the ensemble. A pair of classic black sunglasses completed the look, proving that traditional wear can be just as cosmopolitan as any designer dress.
