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.

(vii) Deepika Padukone In Black Saree

Deepika is never the one to disappoint with her looks during public appearances. This look is another such example. Bollywood’s top actress is heading to the Bachchans’ Diwali party in a black silk saree with bronze zari work done at the borders and pallu. Her antique gold earrings and bangles make her look even more ravishing!

(viii) Deepika Padukone Half Saree In Chennai Express Movie

Clad in a pretty green and yellow half saree, Deepika is seen sitting doefully here. Throughout the entire film, she is seen in such elegant attires. This silk half saree has been matched with an orange blouse, which complements the rest of the colors quite well.

This is a gorgeous color and Deepika does absolute justice to the saree. The 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.

(x) Deepika Padukone In Cream Saree

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.

(xi) Deepika Padukone In Black And White Saree

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

Deepika is wearing a gorgeous pastel green net saree. This is another outfit she wore to a Bajirao Mastani promotional event. 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.

(xiv) Deepika Padukone In Green Saree

Doesn’t it look like Deepika has a painting wrapped around her? I love the print of the saree. That is what brings this look to life. 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!

Priyanka has definitely brought ‘sexy’ back to Bollywood. She walked the ramp for Manish Malhotra in this pink sheer saree with intricate thread embroidery.

(iii) Priyanka Chopra In Blue Saree

Priyanka-Chopra-In-A-Blue-Saree

Elegant as always, Priyanka is decked in a periwinkle blue chanderi saree. She accessorized it with a long chunky necklace, and nothing more. Leaving the pallu open, as she has, gives you a full view of the design, which is probably what she was going for.

Doesn’t Priyanka’s outfit look dazzling? Let’s decode her attire and take a closer look at the detailing, shall we?

Who’s the hottest girl in the world? My Desi Girl! My Desi Girl! Priyanka is in fact representing the whole Desi Girl concept. A combination of sexy and traditional, this Bollywood actress in a saree shows the world that it is quite possible to nail both! Her off white saree with the shiny halter blouse is the perfect ingredient to nail a look for a music video. The look in itself is enough for her to look glam without the requirement of any accessories.

(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-photo
Looking 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.

(viii) Priyanka Chopra In Green Saree

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. At the end of the day, combining these styles was an excellent idea and Vidya is pulling it off quite well. She looks absolutely gorgeous in this attire, and her black sequinned blouse complements the saree perfectly.

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.

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. She paired the saree with what almost appears to be a crop top, which goes extremely well with this whole look. Her slick side-parted hair looks very nice and her earrings are classy and low-key.

Kareena is rocking this red saree. Designed from red georgette material, the saree isn’t anything grand, but that is it’s beauty. 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.

(iv) Kareena Kapoor in White Saree

Again, this is quite a plain saree, but who says you have to look dressy all the time to look gorgeous? She went for a very natural look by keeping her makeup to a minimum and left her hair open.
