Here’s proving that our favourite celebrities are crushing big-time on black gowns right now!
Much like the pantsuit, we’ve noticed that black gowns too are having their time in the sun especially keeping with the Time's Up movement, we’ve been spotting seas of black looks on international red carpets as celebrities are showing their solidarity to the movement. But, we’ve also noticed that much like our Hollywood celebrities, our Bollywood divas too have been choosing the black hue to make their appearance on red carpets. And yes, we mean going all-black with their looks! There is no doubt that black not just makes for a very slimming effect (not that our divas need it) but it’s also the colour of poise, sophistication and glamour. It also seems like designers are experimenting with the dark hue with much enthusiasm. From cut-out looks to elaborate tulle and ostentatious ruffles, our celebrities are donnnning it all but in just black. Here’s proving that our divas are crushing on the black gown right now like never before!readmore

Bhumi Pednekar
We spotted Bhumi look stunning in a black figure-hugging gown from Nikhil Thampi. The designer has been seen experimenting with the hue for the longest time and we have some more looks from him down below. Coming back to Bhumi, the actress was seen working a black net cape gown featuring a high neck and an extensive train. The metallic gold collar and metallic hem on her sheer cape made for a nice break from all the black she had going on. The cut-out back lent that sexy look to her classy turnout. Keeping it sharp, Bhumi went with a slicked-back look for her hair and kept her makeup sharp and au naturale. We love how the actress did away with accessories, thus keeping it sharp and smart.readmore

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Ash went all-out with her dark look and chose an elaborate Gauri & Nainika gown to make her appearance at a red carpet event. The actress was seen wearing a black hand embellished lace and silk gown. Her strapless gown featured handmade 3D Magnolia flowers that lent that added richness to her overall look. The fishtail hem helped drama to the look and with winged eyes and a pop of red, she rounded off her ensemble. Aishwarya wore her burgundy locks styled open and in voluminous waves and she looked her stunning self in the dark outfit. She will always be our favourite Miss World!readmore

Penelope Cruz
She doesn’t need the red carpet to shine, she does it anyway in almost anything! However, she outdid herself whilst making her appearance at the Golden Globes. Penelope was seen working a Ralph & Russo off-shoulder gown which featured a black lace overlayer all-over as also for her long sleeves. A plain black satin train swept the floor behind her making for a dramatic addition to her chic look. The shimmery black lace made for a nice addition to all the black she had going on and with just dainty danglers, she rounded off her look. With her dark locks styled open, she looked her stunning self. Penelope made it to our best-dressed list and it’s easy to understand just why!readmore

Diana Penty
Diana recently gave us a trendy gold Manish Malhotra look however, she too was quick to opt for the black hue soon later. The actress was recently spotted at an awards function working a black Alpana Neeraj outfit. Her gown, much like Ash’s was a figure-hugging one and featured a fishtail hem. Her sleeves were total winners though. Diana’s gown featured trendy oversize sleeves and a very appealing ‘V’ neckline. Diana went with a matching black waist belt to cinch her tiny waist with too. Going with the goth vibe, she went with statement smokey eyes and a brownish shade for her lip colour. She wore her hair in a messy up-do, thus not distracting from her unique gown in the slightest.readmore

Disha Patani
The actress chose a very sleek-meets-classy look to make her appearance at a function recently. She was seen working a drop-shoulder Sachin & Babi gown that hung close her body. Her sleeves were our favourite though. Disha’s gown featured long lace sleeves that lent so much sophistication to her look. The actress wore her hair in a sleek ponytail and did away with statement jewellery thus keeping it looking ultra fashionable but classy. We think this is Disha’s best red carpet look by far!readmore

07/11Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie
Angelina shut down the red carpet at the recently-held British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) in a stunning Ralph & Russo velvet gown. And while you might think that her gown was a rather done-and-dusted one, we urge you’ll to look closer. Her velvet number featured a one-sided off-shoulder as also a thigh-high split. Taking off her matching shawl, Angie revealed a gorgeous asymmetrical sweetheart neckline with a hand-pleated crossover bodice. The actress accessorised with chandelier earrings and a statement diamond ring. Now, this is how you shut down the ramp (red carpet, in this case)! ‘Whoa’…right?readmore

08/11Esha Gupta

Esha Gupta
This is Nikhil Thampi’s most risky black look yet and who better than Esha Gupta to work it? The actress made her appearance on the red carpet in this cut-out black Nikhil Thampi gown and we think this is Esha’s most daring look yet. Giving visionary Azzedine Alaia a homage, Nikhil gave Esha a black gown which featured nude buckled panels on both sides thus putting her ample curves on display. The neckline too was a rather trendy one. With her hair styled open and giving jewellery a miss, Esha looked stunning in the ensemble. She made us go ‘wow’…You too?readmore

09/11Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner
She’s a super-model and everything gorgeous so it comes as no surprise that she knows just how to stun on the red carpet! And she did just that at the Golden Globes in a Giambattista Valli black gown. The model was seen working the elaborate black strapless outfit featuring a tulle and lace baby-doll silhouette and an extensive floor-sweeping train. She wore her short dark locks styled in a messy bob and went light on the makeup and jewellery. With centre-bar heels, she rounded off her look. We love how Kendall let her stunning piece do all the talking by keeping it simple elsewhere, ‘cause it sure did!readmore

10/11Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt
To make her appearance at an awards function, Alia chose a black gown, much like the rest but she went with a little shimmer and shine for the evening too. She was seen working an elaborate black gown which featured a shimmery black material and a tiered black skirt. The low neckline lent her look that added oomph and the black satin waistband helped give the elaborate look that shape. Alia let her shimmery black outfit do all the impressing and did away with jewels for the day. She went with her hair styled in soft waves and looked just magnificent. We’re loving that the actress chose a shimmery texture to add that slight bling to her monotone black look.readmore
