Garba night looks: Sonam, Ananya and Alia offer ethnic style ideas for Navratri

Only a few days remain for Navratri, and preparations have begun everywhere. At the mention of Navratri, the wait begins for garba, raas-dandiya and colourful traditional clothes. Events are held on the occasion of Navratri not only across the country but around the world. The question on everyone's mind is which look to adopt over the nine days.

Those who want to look distinctive and stylish on garba night can take ideas from the fashion of Bollywood actors. Some looks of Sonam Kapoor, Ananya Panday and Alia Bhatt set perfect fashion goals for Navratri.

First is Sonam Kapoor's Indo-fusion look, a good option for those who want a blend of traditional and modern styles. The outfit designed by Punit Balana that Sonam Kapoor wore can be a good inspiration. A collared kurta with an Indo-fusion sharara set can be tried, giving traditional fabric a modern touch. At a garba or dandiya event, this look can be both stylish and comfortable.

The second look is Ananya Panday's, a saree with a tube top. Those who do not want to wear the usual traditional blouse on Navratri and want to try something different can take an idea from it. It needs no special preparation. Take a favourite tube top and pull out a heavily embroidered saree from your mother's wardrobe. Wear a traditional choker around the neck. A gajra of jasmine in the hair will add a more beautiful traditional touch. Even while simple, this look will draw everyone's eye.

The third idea is Alia Bhatt's unconventional blouse. To stand out in the Navratri crowd, it is important to experiment with the blouse. The delicate Chinese-cut blouse Alia Bhatt wore can be good fashion inspiration. If the saree is light and delicate, an eye-catching blouse gives the whole look a rich and striking touch. So the saree can be kept plain, with more attention paid to the blouse design.

For a more modern and elegant look, try a chiffon saree. Drape the saree in the traditional way and pair it with a plain, minimal blouse in the same colour. If the blouse is attractive, even a plain saree stands out. A mismatched blouse creates contrast, but a monochrome saree and blouse can look just as classy.

Another option is to create a lehenga look from a nauvari saree. Keeping the pleats of the nauvari intact, it can be styled to look like a lehenga. Inspiration can be taken from Alia Bhatt's style for this. Wearing heavy jewellery with this outfit will enhance the look further, and leaving the hair open will add a touch of glamour. This could be a different way to give a traditional outfit a modern twist for garba night.

If you are planning a different look each of the nine days of Navratri, these celebrity styling tips will come in handy. By trying a few modern experiments with traditional clothes, you can make your own style statement on garba night.
