Saris: No Longer Under Wraps "She came, she saw, she wore," Gayatri Rangachari Shah wrote in The New York Times of Lady Gaga's trip to India last year. Instead of Lady Gaga's "usual outlandish get-ups, she appeared onstage near New Delhi in a sparkly ivory-colored sari." Lady Gaga seemed to have picked up on an emerging trend in India, where thanks to "Bollywood movie stars, stylish 'It' girls, middle-age housewives and other fashionable women" the traditional sari is being reinvented. "Energizing the sari revival are a handful of young designers who are reinterpreting the millennia-old garb for a new generation of stylish women," she wrote. "The sari suddenly became a super sexy garment," Tarun Tahiliani, the designer of Lady Gaga's sari told Ms. Shah. It gives you license to be as revealing or covered up as you want. It can inhabit your grandmother's world or the world of a Versace dress.
