Jacqueline Fernandez In A Hooded Gown Reminds Us Of This Iconic Rekha Look
Learning from the OG!

Jacqueline Fernandez made a spectacular sartorial choice at the IIFA awards this year. Amongst the many celebrities who chose to wear sarees, and the regular dreamy gowns to the red carpet, Fernandez appeared in an interesting hooded silhouette. Designed by Rami Al Ali, the actress’ look for the evening incorporated a strapless gown with handcrafted gold embroidery.

The scalloped neckline featured a sheer fabric, and a veil attached to the centre. The sheer dupatta decorating her head added a surprising desi element to the entire look. Binding it all together, Fernandez opted for a high-on-shine glam, with blushed cheeks and dark red lip colour. She further sealed her tresses into a neatly tied bun and picked gold stud earrings to complete the ensemble.

Many of the actress’ fans praised her for the unique incorporation of a veil on the red carpet. Some others also compared her outfit with Rekha ji’s iconic photograph in a white veil saree, red lips and black sunglasses. Well, we see the similarities.
Considering Jacqueline’s personal style, we think the Rami Al Ali gown fits her taste and bridges that gap between modern and classic couture. What also adds to the signature Jacqueline touch is the idea of replacing ballroom gowns with something as innovative as a head veil.
What do you think of her look?
