The stylish ladies of B-town are always experimenting with their wardrobes, giving the rest of us tons of fashion inspiration. One of the most iconic fashion trends that never goes out of style is a fusion look-- think a quintessentially desi outfit enhanced with a contemporary silhouette Western. One such easy trend that has us drooling is the saree and jacket pairing that can take ethnic dressing up a notch. From Sonam Kapoor Ahuja to Kangana Ranaut, here is a list of Bollywood actors who made heads turn with their elegant saree jacket designs.
Sonam Kapoor Ahuja
Sonam Kapoor Ahuja chose a stunning Anavila drape and added her own personal touch to it. She wrapped the simple saree around a similarly minimal blouse and topped it with a sheer cape in the same colour. Sonam accessorised her look with layered gold necklaces and matching stud earrings. To contrast her simple outfit, she glammed up with heavily kohl-lined eyes and a touch of glitter in her eyeshadow. She kept the rest of her makeup neutral and pulled back her hair in a sleek bun.
Trust the fashionista to treat us to more than one version of the same style. We can’t have enough of her interpretation of the saree jacket trend. For this look, Sonam chose a white saree with a bold multi-coloured border that features delicate resham embroidery in floral and paisley motifs. To further amp up the already glamourous six-yard number, Sonam paired it with a jacket covered in intricate thread and mirror work as well as fun tassel and pom pom details. She completed her look with a dark silver choker, matching earrings, and kadas. She opted for smoky eyes, defined brows and plum lips, paired with a sleek braid.
Shilpa Shetty Kundra

Shilpa completed her look with a gold choker and delicate earrings by Amrapali Jewels. Doing full justice to her beautiful ensemble, she went for basic hair and makeup with nude lips, perfectly drawn winged eyeliner and a ponytail.
Kriti Sanon
