Red Hot
Sonam was quite the head-turner in this gorgeous Shantanu and Nikhil lehenaga with an unconventional blouse. If you’re one who wants to flaunt those toned abs then you may want to go this route to grab attention, without the hassle of your dupatta constantly sliding off your arm. She finished off the look perfectly with sleek hair, uncut danglers and a matching crimson pout. We absolutely love how she changed up her usual style of chic and classic for full on sexy!

Fringe-Tastic
Switch an ordinary sari for one with a quirky twist like Jackie’s fringe detailing to really stand out in a crowd. We love the stunning shade of sea-green on her and the sway of the tassels. Voluminous hair and classic, diamond jewellery lent a touch of elegance to a look that was offbeat and tres stylish.

White Wonder
Looking oh-so-pretty in a Rohit Bal creation was Anushka Sharma who sure had us wishing that she would go desi more often. Wearing a cut that is universally flattering, she paired the white and gold anarkali with statement earrings and pulled her hair back for some fuss-free glam. She looked ethereal.

Shimmer and Shine
If there’s anyone who can show us how to make an alluring statement, it’s Malaika Arora Khan! The bombshell gave us a perfect example of how to go shiny tastefully. Her bright pink sari, big earrings and elegant updo added to her mesmerizing effect. If you’re wondering how to go bling but not too OTT then we hope you’re taking notes.

Keeping It Simple
Ash flaunted a pretty salwar and churidaar look by her favourite designer duo, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla looking her exquisite best. The straight cut of the kurta is one that can flatter most body types and we love the floral detailing and sheer sleeves. It’s a look that is easy to pull off with maximum impact, especially with those sky-high stilettos.

Lehenga Lovin’
PC channeled some major shaadi style in a bright red Anita Dongre number. If you aren’t too comfortable flaunting too much midriff, then the drape of her dupatta is perfect for covering it up without compromising on the magic of the outfit. A fancy updo and some statement baubles were what helped elevate her look.
