Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s Erdem dress comes with a sheer surprise!

We spotted Sonam Kapoor work a trendy velvet number for ‘Veere Di Wedding’s’ song launch and we’re blown away! Opting for a rich green, the actress was seen working an Erdem number comprising of a top featuring snug sleeves and a frilly hemline. This, she teamed with a matching skirt featuring high cut-out panels that revealed a sheer lining. The silver embroidery on the velvet helped break the monotony of the rich texture she had going on. With Christian Louboutin heels and dainty jewels from Araya Fine Jewels, she completed her look. That pop of red for her smile though! There’s nothing about this look that we would change…

Diana Penty

Dressed to impress, Diana was seen taking to the ramp in a gorgeous contemporary-Indian ensemble. She was seen wearing an elaborate emerald green lehenga which featured intricate floral embroidery and this she paired with a deep maroon velvet sleeveless top featuring a high neck. Tucking it in and cinching her waist with a black belt, Diana looked everything like the modern yet traditional Indian woman she is. This festive season, incorporate velvet in your desi looks like Diana has!

Aditi Rao Hydari

Aditi was recently spotted working a very classy velvet gown in the deepest of greens. The otherwise unembellished number featured an off-shoulder accent and an embroidered choker neckline that was connected to the back with a sheer fabric. A slit running all the way to the thigh gave the ensemble a sultry vibe. We love how Aditi chose to go all-over with the texture and do away with any other accessories thus letting her textured garb do all the impressing which it totally did!

Deepika Padukone

Being the fashionista she is, Deepika chose to work the texture with separates donning blue velvet straight-legged pants featuring floral motifs and she teamed it with a matching tunic-style top. The top, however, featured gold tassels at the hems lending the look those slight 80s and boho vibes. Deepika, with this look, proved that you can work velvet in a number of off-beat ways and her way is probably our favourite yet!

Jacqueline Fernandez

With this look, Jacqueline gave us the perfect ‘girls-night-out’ outfit! She was spotted working a chic maroon velvet mini featuring a plunging neckline and a matching choker neck. The long-sleeved number helped put her long and lean legs on display and she too, much like Aditi kept it simple elsewhere and did away with accessories for the night. With a pair of black mesh peep-toed heels, she rounded it off. How gorgeous does she look, right?

Sridevi

Spotted at a screening for one of her movies, the late veteran actress was spotted looking resplendent in her velvet number. She donned the texture as ostentatiously as can be by working a black jacket-style velvet ensemble which featured bold floral embroidery in gold and red. In the elaborate piece, Sridevi looked everything royal and she too did away accessories for the event and went with a bold red lip colour to complement her overall look with. The veteran actress looked every bit the stylish diva she was in the garb.

Malaika Arora

Much like Jacqueline, Malaika too was seen working a maroon velvet dress but Malaika chose to go with a midi silhouette. Her robe-inspired dress featured elbow-length sleeves and a matching waist-tie, thus lending shape to the otherwise straight look. With embellished shimmery pumps, she added that further sophistication to her look and with oversize sunnies, she rounded it all off. If you want to amp it up at the office on a Friday, we say, do it like Malaika!

Janhvi Kapoor

Janhvi shocked all her fans when the diva appeared looking all things trendy at the airport. For her travels, she was seen working a long-sleeved white jumper which she ever-so-boldly styled with pop-pink velvet cycle shorts. Janhvi went with white ankle-high boots to round off her look with and we think with this look, she certified herself to be an emerging fashionista. From all the looks we have here today, Janhvi’s makes for the boldest velvet look, wouldn’t you agree?

Kareena Kapoor Khan

How can we possibly not have Kareena in a list that includes style and fashion? The actress was spotted looking resplendent on New Years in a glam black gown featuring a nest embroidered bodice and tasselled long sleeves and very sexy velvet skirt featuring a thigh-high slit, making for a very sexy and leggy display. Kareena looked her stunning self in the black outfit and we love how she worked different textures with a single look.

We hope these divas have inspired you to work velvet STAT!
