Breaking the internet with another 'pataka' worthy look, if K3G's iconic character Poo's prom look, albeit a desi twist had to be re-incarnated in today's times, we would totally pick this look! Are we right or are right? Kiara Advani undoubtedly looked ravishing in this oh-so-gorgeous red shimmering saree at a Diwali bash, she attended in 2023.

The actress paired the sequin-embellished drape with a complementing sleeveless blouse that featured a detailed cut-out, plunging neckline. Keeping it graceful, yet classy, we loved her choice of the delicate, diamond necklace that glistened gloriously. Showing off her flawless beauty, the smoky eyes added a tinge of edge to her entire ensemble, which was further accentuated by her flowing tresses.

Looking fresh, flirty, and feminine in this blossoming hue, Kiara Advani looked ah-mazing as she made those promotional runs for her movie, Satyaprem Ki Katha, last year in a Devanagari saree. Perfect for summer weddings, she made an impeccable fashion statement in an ivory cotton silk satin and organza blouse which alluring juxtaposed fuchsia pink flowy drape that was embroidered with intricate thread and pittan work. What a dreamy moment, isn't it?

We've seen Kiara Advani rock comfortable, vogueish Sharara sets time and again. This classic silhouette is a staple in her wardrobe, whether she's making an appearance socially or at work. She pulled off a risqué styling coup at a Diwali outing last year, crossing the divide between old-world charm and current style trends.
