Malaika Arora looks breathtaking in gorgeous black and nude lace gown

Just when we thought the sheer dress trend had gone ta-ta, Malaika Arora brought it back in full force.

We can depend on the former VJ to deliver some awesome looks on the red carpet. And even when she’s not on the carpet, she still slays: On Tuesday, Malaika shared photos of her looking stunning at Saaf Awards in Hong Kong in a nude gown, and we’re obsessed with her look.

Malaika balanced off her sultry side with timeless elegance in the dreamy embellished gown crafted by designer Monisha Jaising. We don’t know what to love more about Malaika’s delicate sheer, beaded black dress: The deep neckline, crystal embellishments and lace, or train. If you got it, flaunt it, right?

Most notable, however, were ethereal floral appliques and delicate embroidery, which turned this otherwise glamorous gown into an infinitely more romantic design. Assembled by Malaika’s trusty fashion stylist, Maneka Harisinghani, the retro-glamorous look poured out nothing but pure sophistication.

Ooh la la.

The lack of jewellery made the gown work even harder: Malaika kept her bling minimal and simple — a few rings and a pair stud earrings (which we loved). A subtle smoky eye, berry lip, full brows, and a pretty hair bun were the perfect complements to the classic look.

Malaika also turned heads in these minimalistic-chic looks while out and about in Mumbai. Take a look at her recent style:
