This Diwali, simplicity & glamour come together to take the spotlight. With Gen Z stars leading the way to change up a wedding and festival looks, gone are the days of brimming with embellishments from head to toe, and multiple extravagant lehengas.
The case is made to have simple sarees partnered with eye-catching blouses for your celebrations. Blouses that are adorned with all varieties of sequins and shine, mix with a classic crisp white. It's about comfort but creativity, while wowing the crowd.
‘The Archies’ actor Suhana Khan is the definition of low-key glam. Whether you check out her sleek draping and then her bold decision for her blouse, she knows how to elevate a plain saree to red carpet ready.
Make your saree the simpler part of your outfit and then make the blouse your statement piece. Sometimes a little shimmer or shine tells the loudest story.

‘Nadaaniyan’ actress has quickly become a fashion darling with her effortless mix of modern and retro style. Kapoor’s soft pastel saree with a crisp, full-sleeve white top already broke the internet. It’s simple, chic, and easy to emulate!
Khushi, in part, shows that you don't need to have a designer closet to wear a great outfit. You can literally shop your own closet and take an old saree and breathe new life into by pairing it with something unexpected, like, a shirt, a cropped cardigan, or a minimal blouse with embroidery.
She represents that corner of Gen Z that cares about sustainability as much as style!

Ananya Panday loves her bling when trying on festive looks. She often opts for plain, monotone sarees, allowing the blouse to take center stage. Her sequinned bralette or off- shoulder blouses have a fun, youthfulness, party-ready feel to them!
Her styling stays very simple to follow- keep the accesories to a minimum, let the blouse do the work, and do not shy away from sparkle! If it is family dinner or a night out during Diwali with friends, there is always a great balance of traditional to trendy.
The saree has been reimagined by Gen Z to mix and match the traditional and the new. Wear your plain georgette Bengal, silk or Chinnon saree with a sequinned bralette, a mirror-work top, or even your fave co-ord set blouse. Get creative with the looks and contrast textures!
Don’t shy away from pairing different styles together. Think metallics, pastels and neutrals all mixed up in same look -I can totally see myself wearing that to a day-time puja and again to party in the evening.
The best part is you’ll have outfit options well after Diwali too. You can wear the same outfit of a blouse and skirt to a cocktail night or wear the plain saree in another way to a wedding.
For Diwali, it is no longer about how heavy your outfit is, it is about your confidence levels of wearing it! Suhana, Khushi and Ananya say it best, there is no need of dp excess, fashion is about expression. So grab that plain saree, put on your Gen Z attitude, and let your blouse do the talking because well, less is more sometimes.
