Playing deck up is quite a usual affair for our celebrities, especially with their incessant commitments to film promotions, launch events and magazine shoots. As these actresses get dolled up on various occasions in a traditional avatar, we thought it’s only a great idea to pick up some styling tricks and tips from their sartorial display and emulate the same this Diwali. These chosen few in particular make for our choicest favourites.
Gorge on This Gorgeousness
Sabyasachi never disappoints and neither does Deepika Padukone. And when, the two come together, it’s enigma personified. Deepika donning this Sabya piece in particular is an absolute treat for sore eyes. An assemblage of net, adequate bling and some florals, makes it the perfect ensemble for Diwali.
Effusive Elegance
Fashion experimentation is up Sonam Kapoor’s ante and here she does it again by carrying off this Rahul Mishra jacketed-anarkali and sari fusion just so effortlessly. With a balanced amount of metallic sheen, we think this is an ideal pick for the fashion enthusiast in you.
A Thing of Beauty...
Fuss-free aesthetics promise to take you a long way. This white-gold sari looks ravishing in all its simplicity, and Jacqueline Fernandez’s radiant smile makes it a spectacle to behold. The poncho blouse scores a brownie point, of course. Lesson to learn: Carry a smile with a classic white outfit and you’re sure to leave a winning trail this Diwali.
And, It Was All Yellow
Tarun Tahiliani’s weaves are known to cast a magical spell and when Sonakshi Sinha teams this traditional jacket with the lehenga, we aren’t left with any choice but to fall prey to the spell. The lovely hue of the lemon yellow is such an eye pleaser, a must for this extravagant season.
Quirk It Up
And, if you’re looking out to put together a fun outfit, then we strongly recommend something to the likes of this Babita Malkani sari that Shraddha Kapoor donned at one of her promotional events. The aztec print blouse worn with the abstract print sari is sheer delight for the one who doesn’t settle for conventional fashion.
All Things White
Wait, on Diwali you don’t want to trap yourself in a heavy ensemble, do you? If you want to flee after lighting crackers, then this is meant for you. Alia Bhatt chose to dress in a Reynu Tandon see-through, short kurti and played it up with these dhoti pants. All things white and chic, don’t miss out the detailing that adds just the right amount of colour.
Feel Like a Princess
And whoever went wrong with the classics? Karisma Kapoor adds a blissful option in our list of favourites with this fail-proof white and beige ankle-skirting anarkali. If you’re hosting a heavy-duty Diwali cards party then you’ll be sure to grab eyeballs with this one. A neat updo of your hair and jhumkis will finish your look. PS: Don’t forget to paint the pout red!
