Sheer saris are a recent hit among the women in the Hindi film industry.

Sexy and appropriate for almost all kinds of social dos, sheer saris gives women a chance to flaunt their gym-toned bodies in designer wear.

Maanyata Dutt, who's been spotted in saris quite a few times this year, has become the latest entrant in Bollywood's sheer sari club.

The star wife attended Dheeraj Deshmukh's wedding reception on February 28 in a pink sheer sari.

Here's looking at the hottest sheer sari appearances this season.

At the Filmfare awards held in January this year, Deepika Padukone garnered rave reviews for her peach sheer sari.

Pairing it with heavy chandelier earrings and a bun, the actress channelled old Bollywood glamour pretty well.

Only this time she decided to use her pallu well.

Vidya Balan, who's gaining a reputation as a sharp dresser, thanks to her exquisite saris and statement jewellery, turned up in another immaculate outfit for the Apsara awards.

She wore a sheer Sabyasachi sari and looked great with a red bindi and jhumkas.

Don 2 leading lady Priyanka Chopra looked lovely in her sheer Manish Malhotra sari as she attended the premiere of the film in Berlin earlier this month.

Minimal makeup and a simple hairstyle accentuated her look.

Kangna Ranaut, who invariably turns up at social dos looking like a gothic chick in sombre clothes and mood, made an exception for a Mumbai police function in January this year.

Rani Mukerji may have been missing in action for a while now but her appearances, whenever they happen, are a knockout.
