The unique color of the outfit is its striking feature and of course, pinning flowers in your bun will complete your look. Do not go for a bold makeup and play up with the subtlety of the look.

Fly like a bird in this Gujarati chaniya choli. The baandhani-print skirt topped with a royal blue silk blouse is easy to carry and light to wear. The deep and broad neckline gives you an opportunity to pick up some gorgeous jewellery. Add a tassel to the hem of the skirt and you are good to go.

Allergic to too many colors in your look? Pick this embroidered sherwani kurta with gota zari work in this pretty pastel shade. Style your hair in a puff and add a bright orange hue to your lips. The bandhgala kurta spares you of any neckpiece, but beautiful golden danglers would look good.

7. The sparkling shimmer

8. The flirtatious you

With the color combination of this vibrant outfit, you will steal the show this Diwali. Since, the neckline is already marked with heavy zari work, all you need to work on is the hair and makeup. A French knot will work wonders as shall a smoky eye look teamed with a loud lipstick shade.
