Internet Goes Gaga Over UK PM Rishi Sunak’s Wife Akshata Murty Rewearing Old Saree. Our Moms Do It All The Time!
Internet is currently loving UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s wife, Akshata Murty's sartorial choices, especially the recent one.
I often wonder why every celebrity choosing to repurpose their old clothes is celebrated by fans and the media. I mean, yes, we all have been doing that for years and I shall clap for these celebs too, but what’s the big deal? Well, whatever it might be, the internet is currently loving UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s wife, Akshata Murty‘s sartorial choices, especially the recent one.
Recently, Murty visited London’s BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir with husband Rishi Sunak. Pictures from the eventful day featured Akshata in an electric blue saree with bright gold details on the blouse. The couple’s visit to the temple was to offer prayers on the last weekend of the general election. And while we liked the choice of an electric blue saree. Eagle-eyed fans were quick enough to spot that it’s an old piece from her closet.

According to pictures, Akshata first wore the electric blue drape for Diwali celebrations at 10 Downing Street in 2023. However, her approach towards styling the look was previously with a traditional necklace and a stack of blue bangles, with hair sealed into a bun. Unlike the last time, Akshata wore her saree with her hair open and no statement jewels, keeping the Mandir visit easy and light. For the unversed, the UK PM also addressed the volunteers and community leaders while offering prayers at the temple.
And while it is fabulous that celebrates today are choosing to wisely invest their money into better things instead of building a pile of clothes, rewearing an old piece of garment should be normalised. Just saying!
