With the festival of light mere hours away, we're certain you've got a lineup of Diwali parties planned with invites still arriving in the mail. The dress code is set - high doses of glitz and glamour with a traditional core. While you're probably reaching into your wardrobe for the tried and tested salwar kameez you've been using almost every festive season, we suggest you shouldn't. As you would for any other party, your Diwali bash too deserves more oomph. If you're wondering what that means exactly when it involves a traditional outfit, Bollywood is showing us the way.

At the close of the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2019, Nushrat Bharucha and Sayani Gupta made waves with their chic ethnic choices. Playing it bright and bold, Nushrat wore a trousered saree with a deep neckline and collar which she paired with a heavy neck piece and straight hair pulled back.
In the more traditional silhouette of the two, Sayani doubled up on glitter in a black saree with gold trimming and a matching sheer blouse. With drop earrings and a silver smokey eye, there wasn't a head in the room that wasn't turned in her direction.
Two looks, both wearing the saree vastly differently. Their commonality is the edge that they have. With unique silhouettes, a peek of skin and extra servings of shimmer, it's possible to take inspiration from their oufits for your next Diwali party.
