Kiara Advani

Kiara Advani is grace personified as she draped herself in a stunning see-through black organza saree and teamed it with a sleeveless bralette blouse. The saree came in a midnight black shade and featured pleated shimmering details along the border, complemented by a ruffled pallu. She draped the saree in traditional style and allowed the pallu to gracefully fall over her shoulder, accentuating her svelte frame. She quickly teamed it with a broad strap bralette-style blouse that had a décolletage-flaunting wide sweetheart neckline and cropped hemline to show off the sleek midriff.

Alia Bhatt

Celebrating 25 glorious years of Sabyasachi, Bollywood’s sweetheart Alia Bhatt channelled the essence of a modern muse in one of the designer’s iconic creations. Draped in a rich black Murshidabad silk saree, Alia kept it minimal with the fabric but made a bold statement with her heavily embellished micro choli blouse. The deep V-neckline dazzled with intricate gemstone detailing, featuring quartz, dotted onyx, polished agates, and other candy-like signature stones, bringing a touch of opulence and unmistakable Sabyasachi charm to the look.

Kriti Sanon

Boasting India’s rich craft heritage, Kriti Sanon’s bold black choice celebrates the hand embroidery tradition and proves that the craftsmanship has come a long way and is now being added to contemporary modern outfits for a modern-day woman. The diva donned a black net saree adorned with intricate floral hand embroidery, exuding a glamorous, feminine, and sensual vibe. Adding a touch of luxury with intricate zardozi work on the pallu, she teamed it with a statement blouse featuring a noodle-strap halter neckline, decorated with muted antique gold diamonds. The sheerness of this black saree lets you see the molten bold bustier inside, creating an elegant yet exciting look of the hour.

Ananya Panday

Mastering the art of traditional styling with a modern edge, Ananya Panday wove magic in a stunning black ruffled saree at Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani’s wedding. Making heads turn in this Arpita Mehta couture, Ananya adhered to the dress code and teamed the black embellished saree with a risqué matching blouse. Her saree had layers with ruffles at the bottom and maintained a sensuous pairing with the plunging neckline, banded base blouse.

Janhvi Kapoor

Janhvi Kapoor has often proven at several events that sarees are one of the most glorious and classic pieces, symbolising regal sophistication. Draping a plain black saree with an unconventional twist, the diva stood out of the crowd by letting the pallu, the decorative end fall over her shoulders from behind. Further uplifting the fit, she wore a strapless corset floral blouse with a criss-cross back, creating a beautiful contrast.
