This Navratri and Diwali, the glam brigade of tinsel town espoused the good ol’ saree look and how. From newbies to A-listers, many made heads turn in six yards. I have combed the Net and presented some.
Sushmita Sen
Sushmita picked a beige silver-bordered beauty from her wardrobe and looked stunning. It was one of those rare occurrences when a top actress repeats her outfit. As a top Bollywood photographer pointed out, Sush had last worn the saree in an episode of Koffee with Karan way back in 2005. While she wore a sleeveless blouse back then, this time she teamed the saree with a long-sleeved shimmery matching blouse and statement jewellery. Her daughter Renee went for a trendier look draping herself in a frilly bordered grey saree accented with stripes. Mom and daughter looked lovely indeed! Their silken manes completed the look. Girls, the next time you party how about pulling an old beauty from your wardrobe and deck up the Sushmita way!
Teen Deviyan (aka Three Goddesses)
Southern stars Revathi, Radhika and Suhasini paint a pretty picture in glittering sarees. Tell me whose look do you like best? I would give my brownie points to the lady in the centre. Her potli purse matches the golden motifs on her saree just like her elegant choker perfects matches her saree-blouse ensemble. And her hairstyle is sleek and stylish.
Madhuri Dixit
Madhuri oozes old-world charm in a sea green Maharashtra Paithani silk saree with golden borders.Her choice of jewellery is also eye catching. Madhuri’s exquisite smile completes her look.
Kajol
This Saptami, the lovely actress decided to infuse a Rajasthani flavour in her look by picking up a fuchsia pink Punit Balana saree with delicate golden thread and bead embroidery. Don’t miss the tassels on her pallu. The demure choli with tieback neck adds to the charm.
Kriti Sanon
The lanky Bollywood diva looked electrifying in a blue Manish Malhotra sequined body-kissing saree which she teamed with a bold halter-neck sequined blouse. She wore minimal jewellery. The absence of jewellery is hardly felt because of the sequin-laden blouse and saree ensemble. Her hairdo and make-up went perfectly with the outfit. What say you?
