Actress Bhumi Pednekar showcased her commitment to sustainable fashion at a recent event in Mumbai, where she turned heads in a wrap-around skirt crafted from a repurposed rug.

“What I love about this piece is that the skirt is repurposed from a rug,” wrote Bhumi on Instagram on Wednesday, sharing pictures from a photoshoot before the event.

Designed by couturier Georges Hobeika, Bhumi’s unique ensemble featured a woven teal turtle-neck top with intricate swirling patterns. The actress paired it with a blue slit skirt embellished with tassels and floral embroidery. She wore her sleek, straight hair down and opted for winged eyeliner and nude lips for a chic makeup look. Green strappy stilettos complemented her ensemble, while her minimal accessories kept the overall look balanced and elegant.

Netizens were quick to react to Bhumi’s outfit. While some of them applauded her for embracing sustainable fashion, others trolled her for breaking norms. “Wow a rug as a skirt. Queen of sustainable fashion,” commented one social-media user.

It is no secret that Bhumi is an eco-warrior. Last July, on her birthday, Bhumi launched non-profit organisation The Bhumi Foundation, which is dedicated to preserving the environment.

Recently, Bhumi shared a video in which she was seen planting trees and advocating for climate justice.

In another video, the 35-year-old actress was seen placing water bowls for stray animals and birds.

On the work front, Bhumi was last seen in the Netflix crime drama Bhakshak. She will next star in the romance series The Royals for Netflix. The upcoming series also stars Ishaan Khatter, Zeenat Aman, Nora Fatehi, Milind Soman and Vihaan Samat in key roles.
