Bollywood Sarees Saga: The Silver Screen Magic of Trends and Style

Bollywood is well-known all around the world, not just for the entertainment it provides, through popular songs and movies but because of its cultural essence. Bollywood is like a world in itself. The silver screen does magical to our eyes every time it presents a desi diva dazzling in her sensuous saree. We have witnessed the evolution of fashion from the start of Bollywood, right from the 40s and 50s, and even today, the saree is worn and flaunted by the new age divas. Many outfits lost their charm but the Bollywood saree remains a timeless piece.

Most of us women comment on the outfits worn by these actresses the minute we watch them on the big screen, and believe it or not, we are all left in awe when we see actresses wearing the six yards of happiness, the saree! May it be classic ones from movies like Kismet and Mughal-e-Azam, where actresses like Noor Jehan, Madhubala or Nargis wore sarees that had soft and smooth textures, rich fabrics and subtle and minimal embellishments and borders; or the modern sequin ones, we still yearn to wear them, isn't it? The 70s era Bollywood brought in sarees that had bold colors and huge prints that were worn by actresses like Rakhee or Sharmila Tagore in the movie Amar Prem. As Bollywood became more popular and the gossip of Bollywood started going out of the continent, it added more drama and charm to the outfits, and Bollywood sarees were now characterized by heavy embellishments that looked majestic. Be it Rekha ji’s simple sarees or the ones with heavy embroidery, women go crazy with their sarees. Sarees worn by Madhuri Dixit in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, or Aishwarya Rai’s sarees in Devdas take away our breadths and leave us dreaming and wishing to recreate and wear one of this Bollywood sarees.

The saree saga is not limited to the movies only, it extends its horizons and the desi divas elevate their looks to introduce sarees on global fashion trends. The sole reason why Bollywood sarees are so famous is because they shine like a silver slate at international red-carpet award ceremonies. Other actresses such as Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor keep the spirits alive by flaunting their saree looks.

Tips to Style Your Bollywood Saree, Just for You:

Highlight your height: For cute and petite height, you can opt for sarees that have thin borders, and stripes that are vertical and go for pastel, soft tones. For a tall heightened woman, sarees with heavy or broad borders and bold shades of colours will look good.

Body type:

• Hourglass shaped: Curves make you look beautiful and why not take advantage of this God-gifted body to dress the best? You can go for accessories using belts around your waist that highlight your curves. Any saree will look as styled for this body type.

• Pear shaped body: A body shaped like a pear looks best when the saree is chosen with contrasting pallu.

• Apple shaped: A round body like an apple shape will look best when draped by a saree that has vertical lines to give you a longitudinal finish and elevate your look.

Blouse designs: There are a number of necklines for the blouse that you can experiment with. To embrace the shoulders, you can pick from blouses that are one-shouldered, halter necked, cold shoulders, and off shoulders. These necklines help to define your style and are perfect for all occasions. Moreover, to flaunt those collar bones, you can choose a V-neck blouse or a boat neck one. The sleeves can be embroidered or laced.

Jewellery: An outfit becomes more stunning when it is styled well with accessories. Using jewellery pieces is one of them. You can go for statement necklaces, bangles and earrings for a more formal and sophisticated look. For a more casual, playful and fun look, you can go for a choker, jhumkas and nosepin along with delicate bangles.

Handbags and footwear: You can take a potli and kolhapuri mojaris for that perfect traditional look. For a more elegant and sophisticated look, go for wedges or heels and clutches.
