Move over, sheer pleasure. It’s time to rock your usual kurtas and lehengas with a sheer twist. And if you’re bold enough, try this in a saree. Go the sheer route with a deep-cut blouse, just like Deepika’s. It’ll surely give your overall look a really edgy, sexy appeal.

If you were restricting your jewellery only to your neck and ears, you can probably learn a thing or two from Deepika. You can keep your overall look muted and subtle and still add a little bling by wearing a beautiful hand harness on both your hands – and you’re good to go!

3. Slick Ponytails

Ditch the “keeping your hair” open trend already and move to getting a tight, slick ponytail. It looks fabulous, especially when you’re wearing a busy outfit that has a lot of elements like an anarkali with layers and a dupatta, or a saree-gown with a cape. All you need is a good styling spray!

If you thought kundan and polki were your only options, learn a thing or two from Deepika. This festive season, ditch golden for some fun, tribal, silver jewellery to make you stand out of the crowd! So pretty!

6. Add A Cape!

Capes are pretty much the biggest rage this festive season, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t add a dose of that to your festive wear collection. Deepika does it by adding a plain netted cape with her pastel pink saree. How will you do it?

7. Fusion Is The Name Of The Game!

Mix and match is always a good idea. Have an ethnic skirt but don’t have a blouse to go along? Wear it with a shirt, white or any other colour! Add a belt to it and give it an Indo-western twist.

8. Give Your Saree A Twist

Why should you always wear your saree the same way, right? Layer it with a floor sweeping jacket (use a maxi shirt dress if you don’t have one), experiment with different pallu drapes or slip into a dhoti saree. You could even drape your saree like a skirt and add a different coloured dupatta to it!

9. Jacket Style

Jackets are Deepika’s favourite. She adds them to most of her Indian wear outfits, and if you’re inspired, you should too. They give ethnic wear quite a makeover and can be worked even for a formal event.
