Celebrate the last day of Navratri with purple, the colour that symbolises luxury and power.

Get inspired by these celebs.

If you are planning on wearing a sari, add a twist to your look with a ruffled, sheer blouse like South actor Regina Cassandra.

Don't have a purple outfit? No need to fret. You can always pair a purple skirt/pants with a black top. They make for a winning combination.

Treat the garba floor like a red carpet and add a hint of drama with a purple gown and an attached cape. Take inspiration from Sushmita Sen.

A purple feathered gown is not a bad idea if you planning a fairy tale look like Daisy Shah.

Take a cue from Dia Mirza who wows in a handloom sari by Anavila. She kept the look minimalistic with lovely earrings from Amrapali.

Another option is to wear a multi-colour outfit with some purple on it. Finish your look with a pair of heels and a chic, messy bun.

Don't any purple outfit? Then try adding a purple bindi or wearing a pink sari with a purple border like Vidya Balan.

Finally if nothing works for you, then a purple anarkali can always come to the rescue.
