Badtameez Dil song

Worn in the song ‘Badtameez Dil’ from the movie ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, the actress looks gorgeous. This hassle-free cobalt saree gives rest to all the worries one might have when wearing a six-yard-staple at a cocktail party! This monotone saree had a lightweight fabric, like that of georgette and chiffon and had a very light border, which made it look easy to carry.

On close inspection, you find that the border has champagne gold sequins, which add a fun and flirty angle to the look of the saree.

The real hero of the look, however, is the strappy blouse, which comes with skinny sheer straps and gold sequins. The black bikini blouse breaks the monotony of blue and a deep-cut back, with a blue stripe going all the way around adds to the glam factor.

Deepika’s hair is styled to have voluminous waves and she sports a classic cat-eye and soft pink lips. She has kept her jewellery minimalistic, sticking to safe ruby red and pearl danglers which made her look seem both graceful and ready to party. This blue coloured saree with its golden border and shimmery black blouse has become a rage amongst young women.

WHERE TO WEAR?

Suitable for an engagement or cocktail party, this lightweight saree is as classy as your LBDs. If you are looking for a slinky saree then you can go for this one. You can also add a fresh spin to it by going for a netback or pair the saree with a corset, halters, spaghetti-style blouses or by adding a Tagdi or a Waist Belt.
