Rekha's Birthday Special: 10 sarees we want to steal from this diva

Rekha is known for her evergreen beauty and classic style. She has epitomized the graceful saree and made it her signature style over the years, so much so that, everytime someone thinks silk, brocade or kanjeevaram, Rekha is what comes to their mind and vice versa. 

Many young actresses' such as Sonam Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut and many more have taken style inspiration from the timeless beauty. 

Rekha is mostly seen wearing heavy silk sarees in rich and royal colours such as old gold, royal blue, sunrise orange, bronze, ivory, rani pink, burgundy and green. 

Rekha likes to style her saree with heavy gold or Kundan jewellery, seldom do we see her wear stones such as emeralds and rubies. She wears choker style necklaces, traditional temple style jewellery with kangans and jhumkas. Quite often we see her layer her necklaces as well to make them look heavier and regal. She always tops her look up with small embellished clutches or potli bags. We wonder she carries in them and what is the secret behind her youthful looking skin and luminous glow. 

For hair and makeup, she keeps it classic as well. She is often seen sticking to either wearing her luscious, thick and long locks down on the side, in a side braid or in a neat low bun with a gajra. A creamy face of makeup, with classic kohled eyes and winged liner along with her crimson pout in shades of brick red, classic red and burgundy give finishing touches to the look.  

Hence, on the occasion of this evergreen Diva's birthday, we are looking at some of the sarees adorned by her in full elegance and panache that we want to steal right from her closet.
