The Classic Black and White

If you are a basics kinda gal looking for a saree for the next festive occasion, look no further than this simple yet elegant black and white saree. Deepika Padukone seems to be loving halter neck blouses with her sarees, and we don’t seem to be loving it less either. She donned a white saree with a thin black sequin border and a plain white halter neck backless blouse with dainty tie-up details on the back. For earrings, she wore big square emerald stones with diamonds around it. She went bold with kajal for her eyes and a sleek bun to complete the look. This ensemble is fairly achievable for you and can be sported on various occasions – daytime weddings, receptions, and formal events.

The Pearly White Fantasy

Deepika Padukone donned a custom Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla ensemble at Cannes and we just couldn’t get enough! It was an ivory chiffon saree with organza ruffles all along the border. For the blouse, she wore a silver embellished strapless blouse. However, the star element of the look was the Victorian-inspired collar made of pearls. She completed her look with heavily studded earrings and minimalistic makeup and her hair tied in a bun added to the elegance of the attire. You can achieve a look similar to this by pairing your ruffle sarees with an embellished cape or some surface-textured jewellery.

The Mirror Muse

The actress has been serving some really beautiful halter neck blouse looks lately and this is one of them. A halter neck collared jewelled top, backless with just one dainty strap near the waist serves as the perfect base for her slightly sheer white saree. It is a textured saree by Manish Malhotra that has a texture all over – extra fabric gathered at the center with a sequin dropping from the middle. It adds fluff and flare to the saree and makes it stand out from the crowd. She has styled this look with a sleek bun and exquisite diamond and emerald intricate earrings. The green of the earrings adds a pop of colour to the white ensemble. You can style your halter neck crop tops with sarees to attain a look similar to this one. Make sure to complete the look by accessorising smartly.

The Retro Vision

If it has sequins – it’s going on this list. We saw a quite literally visually striking look from Deepika for her Cannes Jury moment from last year. She wore a gold-and-black striped, hand-embroidered sequin saree by Sabyasachi Mukherjee with a strapless black sequin blouse. But what really stood out was her accessories – a headband with stunning motifs, colourful chandelier earrings, and some rings. Her makeup included very bold graphic black eyelids with a nude base for her face. Her hairdo screamed retro! We are certain this look will turn heads at any wedding reception or cocktail party.

The Pleated Paradise

Deepika Padukone’s fashion choices often reflect her vibrant personality, and her yellow saree look is a prime example. Payal Khandwala created elegance high on style factor with this pastel yellow and blue pleated saree. This is definitely one of those most-wanted looks for all of us. Her organza saree was completed with a high-neck sleeveless plain yellow blouse in the same pleated fabric. She added finishing touches with teal blue drop earrings which looked stunning with the saree. Pleated sarees are all over the internet, get this look in a variety of colours and patterns. These sarees give structure to your look making it easy to manage while exuding style and statement.

The Silky Elegance

For one of the many receptions that Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone hosted, Deepika chose a golden silk saree for a traditional look. She paired that with a white full-sleeved blouse keeping it a bit simple. She made sure to go heavy on the jewellery with her look – a four-layer choker made of emerald stones with a huge circular pendant of the same type and matching stud earrings. Along with that, she layered her jewellery with a five-layer pearl long necklace for some added glam. Her choice of jewellery complemented the royal vibe of the attire. She kept her makeup simple and her hair sleek. To add to the traditional spirit, she added a bindi and some gajra too.
