Among the many things associated with the festival of Navratri is the magic of colours.
Each of the nine days has their own hue and the shade associated with Day 1 is yellow.
This day is dedicated to Maa Shailaputri, the daughter of the Himalayas.
She is often depicted wearing a crescent moon on her hair and riding a bull.
The colour yellow, which is considered auspicious, suits everyone.
Here are some amazing ways to wear this joyous hue.
Like Pooja Hegde, you can look resplendent in a mustard yellow lehenga. Accessorise it with beautiful traditional kundan ornaments for a mirror-cracking effect!
Ananya Panday embraces a playful look with her slinky lehenga, featuring lovely floral mukaish detailing. You could too.
The right jewellery always makes a difference :)
Pragya Jaiswal enjoys the golden hour, glowing in her dual toned embroidered crop top, palazzos and translucent long jacket. It’s a nice idea for those of you who want to rejig your trad-wear this Navratri.
In an exquisitely styled embroidered yellow lehenga like this one, you will -- just like Sharvari does -- stand out.
Try on a beautiful braid that will keep your hair away from your face as you dance the night away. Don’t forget to wear gorgeous statement earrings; they always enhance a festive look.
Or, like Raashii Khanna, you can drape yourself in silk, complete with flowing dupatta, drop earrings, gold bangles and a striking burgundy pout.
Alaya F draws attention in her edgy corset blouse and sequinned saree, made to turn heads.
Shehnaaz Gill brings on cheerful vibes in a radiant yellow ensemble that reflects her lively personality.
Rakul Singh nails the modern sophisticated look with her deconstructed elegant anarkali, combining statement gold necklace and grace for a perfect festive look.
