Rekha's love affair with hues of gold is undisputed. For long, it has been her go to shade for majority of her public appearances, adorned by her waist-length natural locks. Image: legendaryrekha/Instagram

Ditching the all-gold brief for this look, Rekha can be seen in a soft white organza saree styled with bold red lips and a hint of gold with the potli bag and bangles. Image: legendaryrekha/Instagram

Moving away from traditional renditions of gold, Rekha sits regally in a bronze-gold salwar suit complete with a jhoomar paasa - a nod to her Umrao Jaan legacy. Image: legendaryrekha/Instagram

A complete dive into experimentation, Rekha goes all-red in this svelte velvet number, complete with a statement hat in the same texture and hue. Image: legendaryrekha/Instagram

Embracing her regal connect with gold, Rekha channels her inner empress as she in a floor-length heavyweight embroidered coat complete with crown-fashioned hat and retro glasses. Image: legendaryrekha/Instagram

Going back to the traditional saree, Rekha poses gracefully in an icy gold number with hints of shimmer along the border. The white jewellery break the monotony. Image: legendaryrekha/Instagram
