Sonali Bendre serves timeless elegance in cobalt blue kaftan set |

Sonali Bendre stepped out for a recent dinner event for a Mirzapur project, dressed in a striking cobalt blue kurta set by designer Rachana Ved. The actress kept things elegant and uncomplicated, letting the rich colour and pretty embroidery take centre stage.She wore Rachana Ved’s Peacock Kaftan in Cobalt Blue, a flowy A-line silhouette crafted from dupion silk. The deep blue shade gives the outfit a jewel-toned richness, while the loose fit keeps it looking relaxed rather than overly formal.The kaftan-style kurta features delicate hand embroidery inspired by traditional peacock motifs. The detailing appears across the front and sleeves, adding character to the otherwise clean silhouette. It’s the kind of embroidery you notice up close without the outfit feeling weighed down by embellishment.Sonali paired the kurta with matching straight-fit pants, keeping the colour palette consistent from top to bottom. The pants also come with an elasticated back, making the set a little more comfortable and practical for long evenings.For her accessories, she went with gold. A pair of gold juttis and a matching gold bag added a warm metallic touch to the cobalt blue outfit. The combination worked particularly well, giving the look a subtle festive feel while still keeping it sophisticated.Styled by Khushi Nimbalkar, Sonali didn’t go overboard with the rest of her styling. And that was probably the right call. With the bold blue, intricate peacock embroidery and gold accessories already in place, the outfit had enough going on without needing anything extra.The Peacock Kaftan comes with matching straight-fit pants and is priced at Rs 24,000.What makes Sonali’s look particularly appealing is how easy it feels. It’s dressed up enough for an evening event, but the flowy silhouette and comfortable pants keep it from looking like something you can only wear for a few hours.For anyone who likes Indianwear that feels polished but isn’t too fussy, this cobalt blue set is definitely worth a look. Sometimes, a great colour, an easy silhouette and the right accessories are all it takes to put together a memorable outfit.
