The ivory Narayanpet kurta set

This one is not a costume. Nayanthara wore it to the Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai on 12 August 2026, walking in barefoot across a wet floor with Vignesh Shivan and their twins. Nothing in it comes from a film.

What makes this page unusual is that we know exactly what she was wearing. It is Taram by Myriti’s “Ivory Raaga Handloom Kurta Set”, listed on the label’s own site at ₹6,999 in XS to M and ₹7,299 from L up, against a ₹7,599 list price — and, checked on the day this page was written, in stock in every size. The brand describes it as three pieces of handwoven Narayanpet cotton: an ivory kurta with panel detailing and contrast piping, a deep magenta bottom, and a Narayanpet dupatta. Everything written below was read off frozen frames rather than off that copy, and the two agree.

The kurta is a warm, low ivory — the colour of undyed cotton rather than a bleached white — cut long and gently A-line to the ankle, with full sleeves, a small round neck and a short button placket. Vertical panel seams run down the front, and a fine rose-pink piping is set into the seam at the front edge and traced around the hem. That single line of pink is what makes it read as handloom instead of as a beige column; it is also the detail nothing on the high street has.

Under it, straight deep-magenta cotton pants. They only show in the last few inches above her bare feet, but they are a flat solid in the same weight of cotton, and they are what stops the ivory reading as an all-over neutral.

The dupatta is the piece everyone noticed, and it is the one piece you cannot buy a copy of. It is a full-width Narayanpet stole in two colours joined along its length — a deep bottle green on one side, a magenta that runs to purple on the other — scattered with small silver zari butis and edged all round in a rose-pink border finished with a zigzag temple edge that answers the piping on the kurta. She wears it over both shoulders, hanging open down the front.

So there are two pieces below, not three. We looked hard for a dupatta and did not find one worth putting on this page. The high street sells plenty of green dupattas and plenty of magenta ones; a two-colour handloom with a contrast pink temple border is a Narayanpet-loom thing, and every near-miss we checked was one flat colour with the wrong border. A wrong dupatta would misrepresent the whole outfit, so there isn’t one here. For that piece it is the original set — which, unusually for a look like this, you can still actually buy — or a Narayanpet weaver.

Two more things are deliberately missing. She is barefoot in every frame — it is a temple — so there is no footwear to identify. And the rose-gold watch on her right wrist never resolves enough to name the make.

The pieces below are lookalikes chosen to get the same colour and the same silhouette. Each one says where it differs from what is on camera.
