Diwali celebrations have kicked off in Bollywood, with designer Manish Malhotra hosting the season’s first big party at his home. The glittering night saw numerous celebrities gracing the event, from veterans like Rekha to fashion icons like Jhanvi Kapoor and Genelia D’Souza. While some stars stunned the audience with their impeccable style, others missed the mark with their fashion choices. Here’s a quick rundown of the evening’s best and most underwhelming looks.
Suhana Khan – Almost There but Not Quite
Suhana Khan sported a trendy off-shoulder corset blouse, which stood out in terms of design. But her saree, though elegant, lacked vibrancy and did not complement the modern blouse. The draping style didn’t flatter her look, leaving fans expecting more.
Gauri Khan – Classy but Not Festive Enough
Gauri Khan is known for her elegant style, and she didn’t disappoint in terms of grace. However, her plain black saree felt too understated for a festive Diwali bash. A brighter, more festive choice might have added more charm to her look.
Nora Fatehi – Stylish but Predictable
Nora Fatehi’s glimmering saree and bold blouse felt like a recycled version of her past appearances. Although the outfit highlighted her stunning figure, it lacked novelty and excitement, making the look feel repetitive.
Disha Patani – Sophisticated Drape, Missed Execution
Disha Patani chose a traditional saree this time, moving away from her usual bling-heavy outfits. However, the draping style didn’t sit well, overshadowing the beauty of her low-cut blouse and classy ensemble.
Kajol – Experimental but Ill-Fitted
Kajol went for a bold co-ord set in purple and pink sequins, trying to blend festive sparkle with comfort. However, the outfit’s cut didn’t flatter her figure, making the look fall short of expectations.
Shamita Shetty – Great Draping, Poor Fit
Shamita Shetty opted for a white saree with a trendy drape, which gave her a chic vibe. Unfortunately, the sheer blouse with its sweetheart neckline didn’t fit well, diminishing the overall appeal of her outfit.
Ananya Panday – Underwhelming Styling Choices
Ananya Panday picked a white sheer saree that had potential, but the lack of bold accessories and repetitive hair styling didn’t do justice to her look. Surprisingly, Ori’s fashion choice at the party left a stronger impression than Ananya’s.
Ekta Kapoor – Unflattering Fit
Ekta Kapoor chose a lightweight skirt set, paired with an emerald necklace. However, the fit and drape didn’t complement her figure, and her hairstyle took attention away from the beautiful jewelry.
Fatima Sana Shaikh – Minimalist but Lacked Spark
Fatima Sana Shaikh wore a beautiful saree-blouse combination but kept her hairstyle and accessories too simple for the occasion. A touch of jewelry or a different hairstyle could have elevated her look.
Kiara Advani – Gorgeous but Repetitive
Kiara Advani looked stunning as usual in a figure-hugging outfit, but the design was similar to her past looks. Fans were left hoping to see her experiment with something new and different.
Manish Malhotra’s Diwali bash was, as always, a dazzling affair. But some stars missed an opportunity to shine brighter with their fashion choices. With more parties lined up this festive season, fans are eagerly waiting to see if these celebrities will up their style game in the coming days.
