Divas who Dazzled this Diwali!

Diwali is a festival of colours, a festival of lights! It is the festival of joy, cheer and splendor. Everything about this festival is associated with grandeur and glory. Be it the delicacies or the decorations, the firecrackers or the fashion, everything has spunk and elegance. While the festival of lights has passed, the spirit of it still lingers and it is in that spirit that today, BollyCurrry brings you a teensy-weensy bit of glamour from our very own celebs' Diwali. The last week was full of parties in B-Town and that is occasion enough to introduce our readers to the five divas, who we think, dazzled this Diwali.

First on the list is Katrina Kaif. This babe of B-Town, who was caught attending Diwali parties with her much rumoured beau, Ranbir Kapoor, was spotted sporting a gorgeous Manish Malhotra saree. The bright orange material with the dark blue blouse was a perfect combination of shine and subtlety. The delicate silver embroidery added to the charm of the outfit. Katrina made sure that the effect was perfect by accessorizing it with chunky jhumkas and a necklace.

Next up in our list is Priyanka Chopra. PC, it seems, was all cheers for nature, this Diwali. The beige and green saree with a dark green velvet blouse and leafy prints had minimal bling and yet, created a simple ethnic look. The minimal make-up, huge earrings, bracelet, ring and the Jimmy Choo clutch did their bit to add zing to the ensemble. While an updo would add a graceful look, the loose flowing tresses also work just fine for the lass.

Moving on, we have Anushka Sharma who looked quite charming in an Abu-Sandeep saree. The feisty colours and geometric patterns gave the saree a vibrant look, which we believe is quite in accordance with the wearer, no? Owing to the silver and gold in the saree, Anushka kept the accessories to a minimum and that was a right decision, we say. The bindi and the delicate touches of make-up give Anushka the perfect 'pretty maiden' effect.

Talking of fashion and we leave Sonam Kapoor out? Not likely! Sonam's Diwali dress was an earthy Anuradha Vakil outfit. Bling and brown is a combination that works well only on certain skin tones and Sonam makes it work like a charm on her. The heavy bangles and kadas, the chunky earrings, mang-tika and the potli at the wrist, all conspire to create the complete desi look. Oh, and let's not forget the refreshing gajras!

And here's yet another champion of the designer duo Abu-Sandeep. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked gorgeous in a pink and silver outfit. With subtle make-up, subtle jewellery and long flowing tresses, the Bachchan bahu kept her looks simple, yet appealing. Well, Mama-B has a reputation to keep, after all!

With that we come to the end of our list of stunners but we're sure there are many others out there who could join the ranks of these. Bring on your choices, we say! Until then BollyCurry bids a short duo only to be back with something new very soon!
