Filmi divas offer some tips on how to dress up traditionally on Pongal and keep it very, very, chic. Namrata Thakker sifts through some amazing styles.
This Pongal, channel your inner South Indian girl like Janhvi Kapoor does in this beautiful traditional two-toned half silk sari teamed with delicate diamond jewellery.
Want to reinvent your festive look? Ditch the usual and wear a heavily embroidered kaftan dress with a pair of sparkling juttis. You can thank Kareena Kapoor later.
Like Janhvi, Pooja Hegde also loves to drape traditional half sari and we love her look. Don't miss her flower-adorned, neatly tied bun.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu shows us there's style and versatility even in simplicity. Her kurta set is the perfect definition of understated glamour.
Opting for a bright coloured brocade kurta is another great option in the festive ready, like Tabu.
Rakul Singh's red silk kaftan with intricate bead embroidery teamed with bandhani pants is as chic as it can get. Plus, it's fresh, it's festive and easy to carry.
Take a cue from Mouni Roy on how slay an ethnic ensemble with a bit of jazz and a lot of sass.
A gorgeous embellished blouse can elevate your simple sari look effortlessly. Point noted, Pranita Subhash.
A white sari may not be anyone's first choice for a festive occasion but Sonali Bendre makes a strong case for it in her stunning white embroidered drape with a jacket blouse.
