Paro’s red bridal saree in Devdas remains one of the film’s most iconic visuals. Designed by Neeta Lulla with rich zardozi embroidery and traditional Bengali styling, it became a benchmark for bridal fashion and earned a place in international costume showcases.
From runways to museums, Devdas’s iconic costumes still inspire. Two decades on, the film remains a masterclass in period style and character-led fashion storytelling.
