Dinakshie Priyasad, a name synonymous with the Sri Lankan silver screen, enthralls in a saree that’s a constellation in cloth form. Courtesy of Adithri Sarees, this creation imbues the night sky’s mystery into its fabric, with gold stripes on a deep purple base mimicking the stars’ twinkle. Each saree fold is a luxury caress, cascading around her figure in waves of regal elegance.
Accentuating the saree, a jacket by J by Jinali wraps her in splendor, its embellishments reflecting light with each movement. The jewelry from Elly Creations adds a dash of opulence with a necklace and earrings that are both statement and sophisticated. Nails by Arjun complement the saree’s hues, adding an extra layer of finesse.
Nuwan Wijethunga’s HMUA skills sculpt Dinakshie’s visage to accentuate her natural beauty, with makeup that highlights her features and a sleek and modern hairstyle.
The photographer, Thilinda Priyasanka, captures the allure of the moment as sunbeams play off the golden threads, creating a series of images where fashion, art, and natural light dance together. It’s a portrayal of an actress not just wearing a garment but living it, bringing the saree’s story to life.
