Sonali, who made an appearance on the dance show Super Dancer 4, looked gorgeous in a grey top, khaki pants and tan brown shoes.

Making a statement in sustainability, she wore an embellished jacket from two decades ago and accessorised the look with chunky jewellery and subtle make up.

Sharing the look with her followers on Instagram, Sonali wrote, 'Some things age better... I'm talking about my jacket here.'

'I wore this beautiful jacket from Rohit Bal at least 2 decades ago and I'm so glad I could wear it again.'

Rohit shared the look as well and thanked Sonali for recycling the look.

'Thank you Sonali for treating this jacket as an heirloom and wearing it again with so much style and panache. Love you. 20 years is a long time.'
