FM Nirmala Sitharaman remained true to her signature style when she picked a blue handloom saree to present the 2024 Interim Budget.
To present her sixth budget in a row, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman donned a blue and cream tussar saree.
The body of the saree is blue with cream colores Kantha stitch work all over.
With a red budget tablet in hand, Sitharaman maintained her usual simple yet elegant posture as she posed for photos.
For her fifth budget presentation, Sitharaman donned a vermillion red silk saree with a black and gold temple border detailing, symbolising love, commitment and bravery.
For her 4th budget presentation, Sitharaman kept her look simple, sporting a rusty brown saree with off-white border detailing that spread throughout the sides.
For Union Budget 2021, Sitharaman wore a red and off-white silk Pochampally sari with ikat patterns around the pallu and a green border.
For the 2020-21 budget session, Sitharaman wore a pristine yellow-gold silk saree with a blue border and a matching blouse.
Her colour of choice, which was yellow, is often associated with prosperity and is also considered to be auspicious for special occasions.
Sitharaman made quite an impression during her budget presentation in 2019, draped in a warm pink-coloured Mangalgiri saree with a gold border.
She completed her look with a gold chain, tiny diamond studs, and a bindi on her forehead.
