Bollywood Shows You How to Slay in a Sequin Sari This Festive Season

Bling it on! With the festive season upon us, our occasionwear wardrobe demands a stylish update. Bid adieu to diaphanous drapes and nine yards of simplicity, and make way for the heavily embellished sequin sari. A trend that has received the nod of celebrated designers such as Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra, the sequinned drape—featuring ombré hues and whimsical tie-dye prints—is a must-have in your wardrobe. From Deepika Padukone's striking blue number to Karisma Kapoor's metallic magic, Bollywood's love affair with the sequin sari is eternal. Soak up all the inspiration from our edit of actors flaunting stunning sequinned pieces, and nail the sparkling look for the upcoming festivities.
