Navratri, Day 1: Ananya, Pooja Dazzle In Yellow

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.
