The monochromatic trend in Bollywood fashion has struck a chord with most of the leading ladies. Not only does an ensemble of a single shade radiate classiness, but it also gives you the liberty to experiment with some statement accessories to elevate your look. Take a cue from Malaika Arora Khan who makes her monochromatic outfits fun with a vividly-hued accessory like a bright red handbag or neon footwear or you can get inspired by Deepika Padukone who can make a simple monochromatic ethnic wear in a subtle shade like the peach look as elegant as ever. Here’s your guide to a few of the actresses who have enamoured us with their sartorial and stupendous monochromatic picks and have given us a variety of options to pick from, on how to pair separates of a single outfit and accessorize it to make it look interesting.
Deepika Padukone
Hailed as one of the most beautiful women in the world, Deepika Padukone is loved by one and all. As for her fashion picks, we have often noticed in her pictures how she prefers comfort, simple yet chic clothing in all her off-screen outings. Be it her airport looks or lunch and dinner dates with her husband- she can make a simple look turn into a fashion statement in no time. One of her most favourite monochromatic looks in the eye of the fashion police is the elegant blush pink Anarkali she was spotted wearing which she had paired up with a matching dupatta. Staying true to her love for uncomplicated looks, she rounded off her look with a pair of embroidered golden juttis which was a smart complementary touch to the whole tone-on-tone outfit.
Shobhita Dhulipala
Talk about subtlety and then have it fused with effortless glam – that is Shobhita Dhulipala for you. The unconventional beauty who is seen to be turning into a muse for some of the biggest designers has had her iconic fashion moments too. Contributing to the monochromatic look – one has to admire her ensemble in a subtle and soothing pastel blue hue. The look is extremely chic and sharp. She went for a stark black shade for her accessories which are her handbag and pumps.
The denim on denim look has spread like wildfire too in the last few years. It somewhat comes under the category of monochromatic look where a single shade is being sported throughout the look. However, Sonakshi Sinha took it a notch higher, where she paired her denim one piece with knee-length denim boots. She sported the denim look from head to toe and looked incredibly sharp while doing so. Other than an edgy pair of half golden hoop earrings, she let her outfit speak a thousand words as she dialled down the tone on accessories.
Ananya Panday
She is young and vivacious and her stylist makes sure that is the kind of vibe she exudes with her outfits. However one simply cannot skip this beige monochromatic look she had sported sometime back that broke the monotony and gave us a glimpse of how the young starlet can impress in any shade of outfits. The oversized beige coat and shorts were a fresh take to the look, the slightly darker shade of brown bustier added a little more edge to the overall look. A nude monochromatic palette always impresses as it looks very classy and sophisticated. Ananya Panday is a vision in this beige ensemble.
Lately, Kareena Kapoor Khan has received all the brownie points for her much enviable maternity wardrobe. The diva has been loved for her easy-breezy looks which still look as exuberant as her on-screen avatars. Her monochromatic look was all about a fresh approach as she went for a cut-out lemon yellow dress that perfectly accentuated her features. She wore a slightly darker shade of brown strappy heels to complement her pastel monochromatic look and looked as resplendent as one imagines Bebo to look in everything she wears.
Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra’s style file has been the talk of the town for a long time now. The global star has left us impressed with her glamorous and chic looks at every event she has been spotted at. She has very much been a part of the monochromatic bandwagon where her pastel blue formal suit had stolen our hearts. Setting the tone of her boss lady avatar – the diva once wore a sharp mini skirt in a pastel blue shade and paired it up with a blazer with a plunging neck of the same shade. She beautifully finished her look with a complimentary white handbag and strappy white heels and was a sight to behold.
Kriti Sanon
Kriti has a vintage soul and is all about the drama that comes with it. Her outfits match up to her personality in every way. She has never really disappointed her fans or the critics with her fashion outings. Her monochromatic look of a voluminous pink gown with feathery sleeves and a dreamy trail behind received a thumbs up from everyone. She stuck to the whole concept of tone-on-tone look even with her footwear where she matched her outfit with the same pink shaded pumps.
Jahnvi Kapoor
She seems to be carrying forward her mother’s timeless beauty and elegance with time. The diva has a unique taste when it comes to fashion and that is quite noticeable in the outfits she’s seen in. One of her favourite looks is the one where she seems to be acing two trends at once. The sequin saree trend has been admired for a long time now, however, the subtle lavender tone of this saree is the perfect way of acing the monotone look with ethnic wear. This Manish Malhotra creation is perfection in every sense and Jahnvi Kapoor seems to be carrying it off with utmost ease and elegance.
