Stunning Aishwarya Rai: Victorian beauty with Indian spell

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan popses in Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee's latest creation.

Looking at Aishwarya's photoshoot we can say the baby weight debate is definitely over.

We now wait for her big screen return.

Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the man behind actress Vidya Balan's iconic sarees, Aishwarya Rai's stunning red carpet appearances and Sridevi's traditional yet contemporary outfits, is one of the finest designers in the business.

Sabyasachi has, over the years, redefined ethnic wear with what he calls "international styling with an Indian soul". He says his creations, featuring embroidery, gotawork, block printing, bandhani and hand dyeing, among other indigenous methods, are for "real Indian women with real assets." 

This award-winning designer's efforts to modernise the sari, while maintaining its iconic silhouette, is fuelling a revival of the traditional drape. He made a sari look fashionable.

He has captured the imagination of the Bollywood divas. Be it a red carpet event, a wedding or a baby shower; celebrities are seen splashing his unique designs with vibrant colours and exquisite fabric.

Mukherjee has more recently devoted his efforts to designing pre-pleated and easy-to-tie saris that are at the same time exquisitely embroidered. To his range he has added the traditional Indian 'Ghagra-Choli' (long skirt and top) and the famous 'Anarkali' (Full length Indian dress with a trouser). 

Sabyasachi's creations are turning into a hot favorite among the Bollywood ladies. In the last month alone there have been 20 or more spectacular appearances by celebs in Sabyasachi.
