Alia Bhatt aka Rani is the queen of ombre sarees and her red and yellow bandhani printed saree still tops the charts. The actress is known for staying ahead of the fashion trends and she is no less when it comes to draping herself in six yards of grace. Her saree, with a captivating ombre mix of yellow and red on the border, adorned with the traditional Bandhni print, is the perfect example of elegance and style. Paired with a red sweetheart neckpiece, white gajra on a bun and jhumka earrings, she looked like a goddess.

Janhvi Kapoor

Following in Alia Bhatt's footsteps, Janhvi Kapoor has taken up the method dressing trend. For the promotion of her latest film "Mr & Mrs Mahi", the stylish actress donned a stunning bright red and blue ombre saree. She draped it beautifully around her, letting the pallu fall elegantly from her shoulders. Paired with a red sequined blouse with 6 Mahi written on the back, she slayed the look and serves as major fashion inspiration for all saree lovers.
