Diwali 2024: The festival of lights is around the corner and the country is buzzing with festive cheer. With Diwali parties and meet and greets happening at every nook and corner, it is difficult to experiment with one's fashion. However, a simple change in styling can go a long way in giving a fresh appeal to the same, old look. Take inspiration from Bollywood actresses in unique saree draping styles.

Disha Patani transforms tradition for a modern silhouette

If you are worried that a saree might make you look older or feel more mature than your age then take cues from Disha Patani. The actress, who is gearing up for the release of her film Kanguva, is often seen carrying the nine yards with grace and giving it a chic appeal. Opt for a pre-draped saree or plea the pallu in a thin matter to give a cleaner and younger look. The actress's signature saree draping style not only accentuates her figure but also pulls focus on the blouse.

Another unique way to drift away from the traditional saree look, is by draping it as a lehenga. The Lust Stories actress was recently spotted at the Diwali bash hosted by Manish Malhotra for which she opted for a red saree. The actress gave the drape a unique touch by not carrying the plates on the shoulders. She instead wrapped the whole pallu around her arms to give the ensemble an indo-western feel. She teamed the look with a velvet blouse.

While some draping styles are unique, some sarees simply do the job for you. For Manish Malhotra's Diwali party, Kiara Advani donned a golden mermaid-style saree. However, what caught the attention in her outfit was the beaded pallu and pinned pleats which stood out. She too, paired the look with a velvet blouse.

If saree styling is too much of a hassle, then embrace casual. Kriti Sanon's saree look is a perfect blend of casual and dressy. The actress donned a neon sequin saree but kept the pallu loose and open to give it a messy look. Teamed with the right hairstyle and makeup, this saree draping style can be perfect for the festival season.

Rekha's classic never goes out of style

While it is fun to experiment with the saree draping style, nothing can match the classic nine yards. Veteran Bollywood actress Rekha is known for her exquisite saree collection and tidy styling. The traditional - pinned on the shoulder and wrapped around the shoulder- style of wrapping a saree will never not be in vogue and Rekha's latest appearance at Manish Malhotra's party is proof.
