The red saree Malaika chose for the occasion is a statement look meant for special affairs and can easily be a part of your wedding trousseau. A bride-to-be can don it for their reception or cocktail party. If you love experimenting, you can also don the look on your wedding day. Check out how Malaika styled the ethnic yet modern ensemble.
Coming to the design elements of Malaika Arora’s red self-draped statement saree, it features a crinkled design, a slit on the front, pleats on the front, tasselled pallu placed on the shoulder, and a figure-hugging fit. She wore the drape with a matching red blouse decked with shimmering sequins, a midriff-baring cropped hem, a plunging wide U neckline, sleeveless broad straps, a backless design, and a fitted silhouette.
Malaika accessorised the red ensemble with striking jewels, including a gold statement neckpiece, matching rings, and embellished gold stilettos with killer high heels. Lastly, Malaika chose darkened brows, blush on the cheekbones, highlighter on the contours, smoky eye shadow, gloss caramel lip shade, mascara on the lashes, and a dewy base for the glam picks. A centre-parted open hairdo with soft waves on the ends gave the finishing touch.
