Anupama Parameswaran knows how to make traditional fashion look effortlessly contemporary. The 30-year-old actress recently took to Instagram to share a stunning photoshoot, captioning it, “The poetry of being a woman.” For the occasion, Anupama picked a beautiful emerald-green creation from House of Masaba, bringing together modern silhouettes and traditional Indian aesthetics in one striking ensemble.
The highlight of Anupama’s look is her deep emerald-green saree, which features an interesting contemporary drape. Rather than opting for a conventional saree silhouette, the outfit incorporates a structured, corset-inspired sleeveless blouse with a deep neckline and delicate golden button detailing running down the front. The fitted bodice beautifully defines her silhouette, giving the traditional ensemble a modern fashion twist.
The saree features a beautifully gathered drape around the waist, creating a flattering, sculpted appearance. What makes the ensemble particularly interesting is its flowing pallu, adorned with intricate golden foil leaf motifs that add an artistic touch to the otherwise rich, solid-green fabric. The lower hem also features striking golden leaf detailing, creating a beautiful contrast against the deep green base.
Anupama elevates the ensemble with statement traditional jewellery from Tanishq. A chunky gold choker necklace adds richness around her neckline, while the stack of golden bangles and statement rings complete the regal appeal. She keeps her hair open in soft, voluminous waves, allowing her brunette tresses to frame her face beautifully.
For makeup, the actress opts for a glamorous yet balanced look featuring defined winged eyeliner, softly contoured cheeks, a warm-toned lip colour and a delicate black bindi. The overall styling complements the richness of her outfit without taking attention away from its intricate detailing.
On the professional front, Anupama made her acting debut with the Malayalam blockbuster Premam (2015). She subsequently gained recognition through films like Karthikeya 2, Tillu Square, Dragon and Paradha. She was recently seen in Crazy Kalyanam, while Bhogi, featuring Sharwanand, is among her upcoming releases.
With this House of Masaba creation, Anupama proves that contemporary ethnic fashion can be every bit as graceful as it is glamorous.
