Here are a few celebrities who have promoted sustainable fashion by borrowing timeless pieces from their mothers
Celeb kids borrow from their mothers!
In a world where fancy designer brands rule the fashion scene, there's something special about wearing a simple cotton sari or slipping into a vintage dress passed down from your mom. Celebrities aren't immune to this charm either. While they dazzle on the red carpet in top-notch designer outfits, they also cherish items from their mom's closet.

Remember when Mrunal Thakur posted a picture on her Instagram stories with her mom Vandana Thakur? They were both wearing black saris with a pink border. Below the photo, Mrunal wrote, "Isn’t this the best thing in the world to be able to wear your moms saree and jewellery. I’m in love with my moms wedding saree (Shalu) I think I may end up wearing the same for my wedding. (sic).

Moms always have the best advice, especially when it comes to saris. Showing off some serious sari style, Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta's daughter, Ira Khan, took a leaf out of her mom's fashion book. She rummaged through her mom's closet and pulled out a comfy yet stylish grey printed sari to rock on a relaxed Sunday. Sharing her choice with her followers, Ira posed in the elegantly draped sari, teamed with a black bralette, funky earrings, white boots, and an olive green handbag. She hopped on Instagram to share the look and wrote:
"Saree Sunday! I love sarees. So I’ve decided I’m going to wear a saree every Sunday. For a few hours. I don’t own that many so I’m going to raid various people’s closets that way I don’t even need place in my closet for them. This is mom’s. From Calcutta. We think. Yes, I wore boots with my saree. (sic).”
