There have been a lot of metallic skirt sightings lately — especially those of the midi length and pleated variety. After getting Bollywood celebrities’ seal of approval early on, reality TV judge and former VJ, Malaika Arora, on Monday wore shiny pleats via a silk-blend midi with a metallic finish. Her metallic pleats presented an approachable (but still statement-making) style. Plus, it looked fun.

Malaika paired her shimmery, movement-filled piece with a black vest for a playing-it-down-still-making-it-look-cool vibe. She kept the rest of her ensemble toned-down, which made it a winner in the aesthetic department — the black top and subtly metallic pointed-toe heels balanced the look out (and made the skirt shine brighter).
