Trend Alert : Sari with a Sheer Coverup Blosue

 Do it just right.. Learn from these Bollywood Fashionistas

I am really impressed by Bollywood actress and Fashion's new darling, Kajol's recent appearence in a Masaba Fan print sari with a sheer coverup. While lot of people criticized the look, I on the other hand have a different opinion. We all go wrong sometimes, even she did with that bag. But apart from that, I love the idea of the sheer coverup blouse. It's a breath of fresh air from the backless, tube, bikini blouses, which have been used and abused in the name of modernizing the traditional 9 yards. It's just the right amount of style and class done right with no skin show. 

I felt Deja vu, as this look reminded me of Kareena Kapoor's filmfare 2011 sari by Manish Malhotra in nude color. The swarovski and pearl embellished sari had a sheer full sleeves blouse which instatntly cought my attention and has been one of my Kareena's favourite appearance ever since. So.. I thought of sharing with you ladies how you can style a similar look just right.

Here is how you can do a Sheer Coverup in 2 different way--

Let's learn from Kajol first:  Best For Voluptuous Indian Full Figured Women

This style is Perfect for full figured Indian women with curves. For those of you who don't know, she is wearing a tunic, that goes till knees, as a blouse. But its not necessary for you to do the same. You can customize a blouse that covers up till your waist or lengths a little below your belly button, as this will define your waist and will make you appear much slimmer than you actually are. 

You can chose the lining below the sheer coverup, which covers-up the area from waist to bust, from a solid color or color same as of sheer blouse's, according to your figure or your personal preference. But Keep in Mind that a darker lining under the blouse would help hide the tummy flab. 

You can add a bit of detailing on the neckline or finish it with a cuff detailing ( like she did in the pic above)

Let's see what we can Learn from Kareena's look : Best for Slender and Lean Body Type.

This is style is perfect if you are slender, tall or have a well defined waist or flat tummy. This would look best with nude or earthy tone saris. You need not keep the blouse length long, unlike Kajol's ( in the pic above). Lining could be of any color, but you should ideally keep it same ( to flaunt that perfect figure ), giving just the right covering till the bust with long sleeves and a neckline of your choice. You can also define the neck and sleeve cuffs by adding details of your choice.

Or if you have any other idea, apart from this then do drop it in the comment section below. I'll love to share it on the blog's Fb and Twitter.

In Aanmika Khanna Couture: Sonam at Cannes 2013

In Anamika Khanna Couture, Sonam's red carpet look was an absolute stunner. I like everything from her hairdo to the jacket, Mother of Pearl Nathni ( nose-ring) from Sunita K's Jewellery line was apparently the only piece of jewellery she wore. Messy Bun and Jimmy Choo shoes completed her look.

In Sabyasachi: Vidya on the red carpet of The Great Gatsby screening, Cannes 2013

On the red carpet for the screening of The Great Gatsby, Vidya in another Sabyasachi Lehanga. This time in a 'Maharani' avatar, she looks like some ancient Indian Princess walking the red carpet, straight out of a painting from a royal palace. I see no change in hair and make-up. Vidya's pallu sure dragged all the attention and to add the perfect touch of Indian royalty and class, rani-haar( necklace) was the perfect choice. This look was Bang on for me!
