B-Town Movie Fashion: Garba Special

It's a well known and established fact that Bollywood has a lot of influence on a person's daily life. Especially, when it comes to the matter of clothes. People love wearing outfits inspired by their favourite actors or movie characters just to give themselves a more stylish appeal. And since traditional events and celebrations are widely celebrated in our Bollywood movies, it's only fair that many people choose to design their celebratory outfits like the ones they saw on the big screen. Therefore, this Navratri, BollyCurry looks at some of the outfits worn by our Bollywood stars as they celebrate Navratri in style.

The talk of the town this Navratri! The signature Sanjay Leela Bhansali song "Nagada Sang Dhol" with all its grandeur is already on the way to the top of the charts and the leading lady, Deepika Padukone, surely has everyone's attention as she matched every beat of this high energy song with her dancing. Dressed in a red ghagracholi with contrasting golden border in the ghagra and golden sparkly lace on the choli, sleeves comfortably snugged till the elbows, red dupatta tucked easily in the ghagra and accessorized with traditional bangles, anklets and nose-ring; all the spotlight was on her as she danced the night away. One beautiful yet comfortable choice for all the ladies who like to spend their Navratri dancing till the music lasts.

The movie features a Navratri scene shot on Amrita Puri and Raj Kumar Yadav as they dance on the all around Navrati favorite song "Pari Hoon Main." Amrita is seen dressed up in a tradition half sleeved yellow ghaghra choli with the dupatta tucked and tied in sari style while Raj Kumar Yadav is seen donning a green and red traditional Gujrati kameez and white shalwar. Simple and classic yet trendy.

Even after all these years, "Dholi Taro Dhol Baje" is a song that still remains a Navratri favorite. And why won't it? The majestically shot song is one of the most unforgettable feat of both Aishwariya Rai Bachchan and Salman Khan's career. For who can truly forget the way she looked so ethereal dressed in a blue choli, a red lehenga and red & pink contrasted dupatta, tucked in the lehenga and snugged cozily over her head. While, Salman was dressed in black shalwar and a red coatie which showed his well chiseled body. Very traditional and a favorite among all for this festival.

Gracy Singh and Aamir Khan performed on the hit "Radha Kaise Na Jale"in front of all the villagers with her taking the role of Radha, dressed in a simple and traditional yellow ghagra choli with a mix of brown in the borders and him being the mischievous Kanha wearing a yellow kurta and white dhoti, a white cloth tied around the waist as a belt and a pink one tied around the head with a peacock feather tucked comfortably there. They made a picture of being simple and bound to the roots, yet looking the part of celebrations.

One very beautiful set of outfits worn by the couple was in the song "O Re Gori" which saw Hrithik Roshan dressed in a casual black shirt and matching black pants, with a red dupatta placed behind the neck over his shoulder and Ameesha Patel complimenting him with a black and silver full sleeved choli and a shimmery black lehenga. The style of dressing matches the contemporary setting of the Navratri festival.

These are just few of the many Navratri special outfits to give a basic outlook of which kind of outfits suit which Navratri settings. We would love to know what you'll be wearing this Navratri, something original or something inspired by your favorite stars?
