Urvashi Rautella Slammed For 'Copying' Gigi's White Golden Saree Look: 'First Indian Woman To...'

Urvashi Rautela never disappoints when it comes to stirring conversation and making headlines. The actress is currently at Cannes, and her recent appearance has social media buzzing, as she is seen wearing an outfit strikingly similar to what Gigi Hadid wore at the NMACC during her India visit.

Pictures of Urvashi Rautela in a fully glammed-up outfit surfaced on social media. In the pictures and videos, the actress is seen wearing an ivory saree detailed with a shimmering gold border, which she has paired with a heavily embellished golden blouse featuring a sweetheart neckline. She completed the look with statement jewellery, bold glam makeup, and soft, vintage-inspired waves.

While the outfit is full of drama, the look quickly caught social media’s

attention, with users drawing comparisons to Gigi’s famous white-and-gold saree-inspired look from the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) Gala in 2023.

The identical elements and similarity in the saree and its border had social media trolling Urvashi. Fashion Police page Diet Sabya wrote, “Only the First Lady of the Universe/world/Dubai/billion/1300 cr could have performed this level of fashion necromancy to bring back Gandi Copy (RIP). Unless there has been a case of mass amnesia and I was not invited, I don’t think anyone has forgotten Gigi’s Abu Jani chikankari couture sari!! You need mega GUTS to pull this off 😂. I won’t live. Generating enough EMVs to power an entire influ-town!”

A user commented, “I say URVA, you say … sheeeee err … GIGI???” “First Indian woman to wear a first copy of the very famous Gigi Hadid saree for the first time on the Cannes red carpet!!!! 🙌 @urvashirautela,” another comment read. Another one wrote, “First Indian woman to copy Gigi and carry a gamla to Cannes.”

Another comment read, “Oh behen…!!! First lady to copy 🙌.” “😭😭😭😭😭 and she’ll say she was the first to wear it,” a user wrote. Meanwhile, another comment read, “Oh these are just stunts to gain attention. All PR is good PR 🙄.” “Did she think we wouldn’t notice?” a user questioned.
