Ashwini Ponnappa, who has won many medals for the country, including a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games and the bronze medal at the BWF World Championships, has proved her skills on the badminton court time and again. In the style scene as well, the ace shuttler has often displayed her sari draping skills, which are a tad different from the regular. Well, not only does she look great in western attires, but she has also donned ethnic outfits with equal grace. Ashwini likes to drape the nine-yard outfit in the traditional Coorgi style of Karnataka. On festive occasions, you’d often spot the sports star wearing some beautiful South Indian style saris, which are all different from each other in terms of fabrics, prints, and hues. Here’s a glimpse at her sari collection, which she likes to bring out of her closet on special moments.
Ashwini picks a striking yellow and purple Kanjeevaram sari. Of course, it’s the Coorgi style drape that makes it look even more ethereal. She picks a dainty neckpiece to highlight the colours and let them shine. She manages to grab attention even though she stands next to the bride.

Here, what you see is a nice printed Kodava sari that she chose to wear for the wedding reception of Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap. Ditching heavy-duty accessories, she keeps it simple and elegant in a statement necklace.

The ace shuttle opts for a silk green and cream Kanjeevaram sari, again draped in the quintessential Coorgi style, and teams it with a delicate neckpiece and matching gold danglers.

We like this beautiful shade of blue that Ashwini chose to wear over a brown silk blouse. Her emerald neckpiece is a smart pick over this gorgeous sari.

One can never go wrong in black, stands true even in the case of ethnic attires. The shuttler oozes hotness in a classic black Kodava sari. She chooses a gold choker to complete the look.
