55th Filmfare Awards

It was time again for the much awaited annual ceremony of acknowledging and honoring the best in Hindi cinema – the Filmfare Awards.

Needless to say, it was a night filled with fun, thanks to Saif Ali Khan and Shah Rukh Khan being the perfect witty hosts, and of course with all the glitz and glamour that is so characteristic of Filmfare Awards.

Amongst all the stage performances, Shahid Kapur’s tribute to Michael Jackson was just superb. Yet again, he proved himself a dancer of extraordinary caliber.

Speaking of outfits, it was a tie between evening gowns and saris, and since we are a ‘little’ biased towards Saris, we give thumbs up to the following celebrities in Saris.

Vidya Balan

Winning the Best Actor (Female) award for Paa was of course the reason for that glowing face, but Vidya’s bright orange viscose and mustard yellow net saree with embellished black border did enhance that glow further. A rudraksh bead necklace was the only accessory which definitely made the entire look quite interesting. Copy her look with a similar saree and a beaded necklace.

Nandita Das

Nandita Das, who won a Special Award for her movie Firaaq, looked charming as usual in a golden beige saree paired with deep red blouse, red clutch and a beautiful necklace.

Kalki Koechlin

It was a pleasant surprise to see Kalki Koechlin, winner of Best Supporting Actor (Female), in a cream net saree embellished with sparkling sequins. The trendy collared blouse was just amazing. She chose ear studs and a bejeweled decorative hair clip as her accessories. Simple yet elegant! Opt for a similar dreamy look with a sheer saree in shades of white.

Urvashi Sharma

Model turned actress Urvashi Sharma looked extremely pretty in a light beige saree with green brocade border and paired with green brocade blouse. A similar ensemble exuding a vintage appeal is sure to fetch you few compliments.

Sridevi

Elegance personified! After all these years, she still doesn’t fail to charm. Simple yet elegant ombre saree with an extremely stylish blouse, a pair of danglers and a clutch. Sridevi’s ensemble was all about understated elegance with a touch of class. Great for those who love an unfussy and minimalist look.

Mugdha Godse

After an outstanding performance in Fashion, Mugdha Godse was not quite at her fashionable best at the Awards night. The blouse could have been styled better and a big no to the bright red lipstick with lavender saree. Nevertheless, the idea of a lavender saree with sparkling earrings and a dazzling clutch is quite tempting.

Urmila Matondkar

A brilliant actress, Urmila looked gorgeous as usual. Deep and rich green saree with a pair of danglers made her look absolutely uber-glam. Re-create her ‘gorgeous green’ look that would amp up your glam quotient for sure!!
