For her fourth budget presentation, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman kept her look simple and elegant, sporting a crisp rusty brown saree with off-white border detailing that spread throughout the sides.
The rusty brown tone of her saree was a combination of two colours, brown and red, that hold a deeper significance. While the colour brown is often associated with resilience, dependability, security, and safety, red signifies warmth, love and power. She paired the saree with a white shawl and white face mask. Sitharaman rounded up her look with a red bindi and tiny earings, which complimented her golden chain and bangles.

Ranging from donning gorgeous handloom sarees to ones made out of silk, Sitharaman’s outfit choices have made headlines on numerous occasions.

For the uninitiated, the Union Finance Minister’s love for subtly elegant handloom and silk sarees is well known, and hence, it’s reasonable to assume that her sartorial choices are what distinguishes her appearance.
Sitharaman had kept her look simple for presenting the 2021-22 budget presentation last year. Donning a crisp red-coloured saree with off-white detailing and gold border, she completed her look with a gold chain, bangles and tiny earrings.
She had carried the documents in a tablet, replacing it with ‘bahi khata’, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 2021 was the first time when the Union Budget was delivered in a paperless format.
