Decked in a traditional South Indian pattu saree, Deepika does a gorgeous job of carrying it off. Perhaps it might be because she, herself, is a South Indian! The accompanying bangles, necklaces, headpiece, and earrings do well to complement the saree.

(iv) Deepika Padukone In White Saree In Chennai Express

A white saree with red, green or gold borders in South India is usually worn at one’s wedding, much like the one Deepika is seen wearing in Chennai Express. The flowers in her hair and the simple accessories are a perfect fit for this simple bridal look.

This is a really good example of the west meeting the east. You wouldn’t conventionally consider it, but honestly, a crop top as a blouse is kind of a genius idea and Deepika shows us just how amazing it looks! The floral crop top (or blouse) along with the beautiful red net saree is a daring, yet elegant look. Add big dangling earrings and your look is complete!

(vi) Deepika Padukone In White Embroidered Saree

Deepika has kept it absolutely simple for this next look. She is wearing a pretty white georgette saree with a sequined blouse. The saree seems to have some embroidery work done so that it appears on Deepika’s torso. This work is continued on the border and pallu as well.

This is a gorgeous color and Deepika does absolute justice to the saree. The saree blouse design is quite classy. It is something that you could probably see on women back in the 70s and 80s. Deepika is the prime example of upholding old fashion trends while making them look brand new. This magenta saree with gold embroidery is a definite eye catcher. The pattern follows throughout the saree and the blouse as well. The matching lipstick shade and the addition of the earrings complete the look.

This was Deepika’s outfit for the Bajirao Mastani promotions in Jaipur. She certainly dressed for the occasion. The saree may look simple, but it’s actually quite detailed. If you look closely, you can see tiny mirrors in each of the diamond patterns. Mirrors are used in sarees to reflect light and when tiny mirrors are used all over the saree, such as the ones in Deepika’s saree, it transforms something simple to a grand attire. The entire saree is mostly designed with pastel shades. It’s quite visible that there’s a certain theme going on. There is even more detail at the front of the saree, where the pleats fall. We see that there are motifs over netted fabric. Her earrings are the perfect addition to the look.

She strikes again! Deepika dazzles us all every single time she steps outside. Her sense of fashion is commendable. Of course, credits go to her stylist as well! This time, she went monochrome, while adding a little twist to the traditional cotton saree. Both the blouse and pleats of the saree are plain black, but the torso portion and the pallu are the real eye catchers! The Rajasthani choker necklace does well to add a little something and complete the look. Although this saree is a printed cotton one, she makes it look ready for the red carpet! That’s Deepika for you, folks!

(xii) Deepika Padukone In A Net Saree

The concept of using a bright floral pattern for the blouse is a brilliant one! The see-through fabric of the saree on the floral pattern looks lovely. This is what brings the outfit together, since the rest of the saree is not that grand. The torso and the pallu are adorned with beautiful stones and there is also some embroidery work on the borders. The simple addition of the earrings makes this entire look a perfect red carpet outfit.

(xiii) Deepika Padukone In Yellow Saree

As you can tell, the list never ends with Deepika, and honestly, I don’t about you, but I could stare at this gorgeous woman in sarees all day! The way she carries herself is incredible. If only I had 10% of that ability! This look of Deepika’s is fun and summery! It’s nothing grand, but super cute nonetheless. She’s wearing a light yellow net saree, which is quite plain, except for the pink border. The designer took advantage of the fact that the saree is quite transparent, and made sure that the blouse stood out. The blouse that she is wearing is also pink and has white embroidery work adorned with tiny mirrors. Her ponytail and earrings are a perfect way to style this look.

Apart from the floral print, this silk saree is plain, but Deepika is wearing it with grandeur. She breathes life into every single outfit she wears. In fact, I can’t quite remember a time where she looked anything less than beautiful. This mostly comes not with what she wears, but the confidence and way in which she wears it! The blouse is strappy and sequinned, which adds a bit of sparkle to the outfit. Her messy bun and earrings are the icing on the cake! This is such a classy, elegant look, and never go out of style!

(vi) Priyanka Chopra In Yellow Saree

Priyanka-Chopra-In-A-Yellow-Saree

Priyanka walks the Lakme Fashion Week ramp in a lime yellow chiffon saree. The saree is quite simple. There aren’t any big motifs or designs, and yet the intelligent use of the contrasting peachy-orange shade is all that is required for the outfit to stand out. A thin strip of off white sequins is attached to the border. Her spaghetti gray blouse is something one wouldn’t probably think of wearing with the existing color combination of the attire. However, it does work quite well and helps to piece the entire look together.

(vii) Priyanka Chopra In Golden Saree

Priyanka-Chopra-In-A-Golden-Saree-photoLooking elegant as always, Priyanka is wearing a golden saree that is quite simple.

It seems as though she prefers the ‘simplicity is style’ concept. She is mostly seen wearing sarees that aren’t extremely heavy, and who can blame her? Comfort is definitely key. The only extra element in the saree is the sequin border that we see near her shoulder. She went for a chester blouse and dangling earrings to complete the look.

Vidya wore this aubergine colour saree to the Star Guild Awards. This is an interesting take on a saree. It combines the styles of multiple kinds of sarees. The fabric of the body is of soft net. The most interesting part is the border. The designers have used the border style of a Mysore Silk saree.

Sonam always manages to look great in anything, whether it be a western outfit or ethnic. She created quite a storm with her red carpet looks. Seeing this look of Sonam Kapoor takes me back to the seventies! The pastel pink net and lace material of the saree give it a vintage look. If you look closely, you may notice that the lace design on the fabric of her saree is floral. This look is quite elegant and pretty. The sleeveless blouse is plain and is keeping to the theme of pastel pink. Upholding the old Bollywood fashion style, her hair has been secured in a low bun, with what appears to be two white roses in her hair.

Now this is what you would call High Street fashion and Sonam has always expressed her interest in it. This is a little bit of a twist to your classic saree. This dual tone saree makes it look like quite a masterpiece, especially when the blue part of it looks like strokes from a paintbrush. I wouldn’t even be surprised if I saw this usage of colors on canvas, up on a wall in a contemporary art gallery.

Red in itself is a strong color, so if you ask me, it is perfect the way it is. You know what they say, right? ‘Less is more.’ And in this situation, this saying is quite accurate. Save, from the sequins border, the saree is quite plain. The strappy blouse adds a chunky charm to the outfit.
