6 CELEB HOLI LOOKS TO TRY OUT THIS YEAR


Holi is around the corner and we are here to answer the classic “what do I wear?” question! Move over the overdone plain white suit look and try these six awesome celeb looks to jazz up your holi.  


 v     THE BADASS LOOK         

Kalki shows us the way to ace this absolute badass holi look. She teams a simple quarter sleeves top with water-proof lowers and completes the outfit with a cool head turban. This look is awesome because the three-fourth sleeves give you extra protection from colour, the water-proof track pants cover your legs and the turban keeps your mane safe. You can use a colourful stole for the turban to pep up the look.

v     THE COOL-GAL LOOK        

Keep it simple yet stylish this holi with this shorts ‘n’ shirt look. A pleasant change from the usual ethnic that we see on holi, this is an easy attire to carry. Take a cue from DeepikaPadukone who looks absolutely ravishing in these white shorts and red shirt. Yes your legs are exposed to all the colour, but who cares, holi only comes once right?

v     THE RETRO LOOK        

Nothing beats the ease of a suit on a holi day! But it doesn’t have to be a boring white! Experiment with the traditional look by teaming a white kurta with a fluorescent chiffon salwar and a contrast printed dupatta. Aishwarya Rai elaborates the look for you. Finish it off with matching bangles and a pretty hair-do.

v     THE CUTE LOOK        

Trust Alia Bhatt to give us the cutest looks ever! The off-shoulder top with simple hot pants and a peek of the pink tank top underneath is the most different and comfortable holi look we ever saw! The ensemble offers maximum protection from colour too! Don’t forget to team it with a pair of funky aviators.

v      THE CHIC DIVA LOOK        

Look your classy best this holi with this chic look as shown by Anushka Sharma. Just wear a long black kurta with a dhoti salwar and tie your hair in a bun to follow her style.Easy right?We totally recommend it for those blessed with an enviable height.

v       THE TRADITIONAL LOOK        

If you must wear a white suit on holi then we absolutely endorse this asymmetrical ankle length white kurta worn by Sunny Leone. The embroidery and use of net fabric adds more charm and makes it look trendier than a staid white kurta. Try it you if want to stick to the traditional white.
