57th Filmfare Awards 2012


Red Carpet of a Award function is no less than a Fashion Show and this Filmfare Awards was one spectacular show. Through the years, Filmfare has become the most awaited event while the Bollywood film fraternity as well as the audience look forward to this night of nights. The Bollywood beauties once again showed their preference for Indian ethnic wear over western wear. We at Sareez are delighted to give our customers a range of choice to get their custom sarees made taking inspiration from this Red Carpet.


Our favourite was Deepika Padukone who showed up in a a sheer peach Anamika Khanna Saree. This wonderful piece of creation had short sleeves silver tissue saree blouse accented with floral crystal appliqué , matching the appliqué adorned saree. We were confused between Raveena and Madhuri as they both made a statement with their selection of saree . Raveena adorned a hot red plain saree with lace border which was paired with designer short sleeves saree blouse. As for Madhuri , hers was a white saree which had a gradation of grey with thick border and a maroon coloured saree blouse. We loved her , what about you?

The industry’s hottest pair of sisters made an appearance together and they both looked gorgeous in a saree. For Karishma it was elegant Manish Malhotra Saree number with designer sleeveless saree blouse. The saree itself was embroidered shimmer with studs an red lace border. Kareena was also in a Manish Malhotra number.

Sonali Bendre and Dia Mirza gave us somewhat similar looks and both looked pretty . What we love about Dia is she always carries herself with great panache. Both were wearing a white number with plain border and paired them up with elbow length saree blouse. Sonali was in a Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla design while Dia wore a Anamika Khanna Saree.

Other who made an appearance in a saree were Vidya Malvade , Vidya Balan , Udita Goswami , Aruna Irani , Usha Uthup ,Sara Jane Dias , Rekha and top notch models Alecia Raut and Deepti Gujral.

While some sticked to their trademark style , others went ahead and did a fabulous job. An award function’s red carpet is no less than a Fashion Gala when these beautiful girls left no stone unturned to give their best.

Out of all the ladies draped in a saree , our favourite was Anushka Sharma who looked a stunner in a Sabyasachi saree. It was a half net , half velvet saree with golden borders. She teamed it up with a full sleeves black saree blouse with heavy work. Priyanka on the other hand kept it simple in a plain white saree. Amisha Patel looked hot in a net black saree with halter neck saree blouse.

Although Vidya Balan was as usual in a Sabyasachi Mukherjee but it was way different from the sarees she had been wearing lately. It was a pretty designer embroidery saree with short sleeves saree blouse in round neck pattern. Sameera Reddy looked elegant and chic in a silver designer embroidery shimmer faux georgette saree with mirror and embellished border work paired with designer embroidered sleeveless saree blouse. This saree was a number by Falguni and Shane peacock. Other ladies who made an appearance in a saree was Mahi Gill , Divya Dutta and Ragini Khanna.

The 18th annual Colors Screen Awards was the first award function of the season and many of them made us happy when they chose to wear the Indian ethnic dresses. While some dressed up prettily in gowns and dresses , it was Indian Traditional attire that ruled the fashion scene of the awards.

Our favourite was Priyanka Chopra who wore a Manish Malhotra saree . It was sheer mesh saree, embellished with sequined patchwork and a maroon velvet border. Katrina Kaif blowed our mind with her ‘sizzling in pink ‘ look. While her look once again brought back the memories of ‘teri ore ‘ from Singh Is King yet we are not complaining. She paired her saree with a gold sleeveless sequined saree blouse. After net and sequence it was time for some velvety look which was given to us by Sonali Bendre. Dressed in a Abu Jani – Sandeep Khosla, Sonali donned an ink blue saree with emerald and green velvet trimming. She teamed up with a velvet blouse.

We think all the three ladies looked stunning , what about you. Pick a favourite and tell us why you liked her the best.

Bollywood Bridal Lehenga Cholis


Its rightly said, “Marriages are made in heaven.” The day of marriage is one of the most awaited day for any girl. This magical transformation from her father’s princess to her husband’s queen is the most wonderful experience for a girl. Everyone wants to look their best on this memorable day of their life. We take too much time to plan the color we want, the matching accessories, the sandals and what not.

Even our very own bollywood beauties are not aloof from this excitement. With many designers coming up with entire designer lehengas and bridal wears our B-town divas have made us happy with their choice of bridal wear on their D-day. Many of them have played a bride n number of times on their reel life but when it came to real life, they left no stone unturned to look their best.

With the wedding season just round the corner, we have brought together for you, five legendary actresses of Bollywood who accelerated the heartbeat of many with their mere presence on the silver screen. When they got married, they broke the heart of many yet there was an excitement as to what they would wear and how they would look.

Timeless beauty Madhuri Dixit adorned a golden colored lehenga choli and her look was fresh and beautiful on her wedding with Shriram Madhav Nene who is a US based doctor.

Dressed in a pink colored lehenga , Karisma Kapoor was a very pretty bride when she got married to industrialist Sanjay Kapur in 2003. Designed by Manish Malhotra , the lehenga was studded with swarovski crystals.

Mast Mast girl Raveena Tandon truly lived the dream every girls sees for her wedding day by having a royal wedding in Udaipur. She surprised everyone by wearing her mother’s wedding lehenga. It was a heavily embroidered 35 – year old lehenga in gold and wine color and was given a re-touch by Delhi based fashion designer Manav Gangwani.

The much awaited wedding around the world of Aish – Abhishek saw Aishwarya in a traditional gold Kanjeevaram saree.

Stunning Shilpa Shetty also wore a traditional manglorian style saree designed by none other than the famous designer Tarun Tahiliani when she got married to NRI Raj Kundra. The saree had a crystal studded designer saree blouse and was a mix of burgundy and red.

Oprah Winfrey Dressed in a Tarun Tahiliani Saree


We are sure you all must have felt proud when in 2007 Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made Oprah Winfrey drape a saree on her chat show called Oprah Winfrey Show. Even a better moment was when on her recent visit to India TV Moghul Oprah Winfrey gave an appearance in a saree by Tarun Tahilianai.

The nine-yard-long fabric was a burnt orange Kanjivaram Saree with silk brocade paired with a gota and antique zardozi embroidery saree blouse. The saree blouse and the sari were embellished with tiny antique studs. We think that from learning how to drape a saree to wearing one herself this media mogul has really come a long way. She had draped the saree well and carried it off well too.

If you think that Oprah looked great in the saree and you want to try out something different then you have reached the right place. We at Sareez give you the opportunity to have custom made sarees made exclusively for you. Keep watching this space for more amazing collections of sarees , salwar suits and Lehengas.

Bollywood Beauties in Dazzling Ethnic Wear


kangana-ranauat-in-white-transparent-sareeWe always think that sarees are the Indian counterparts of an LBD (Little Black Dress). Suitable for any body type, saree gives a sizzling aura to our personalities. While our bollywood beauties carry the western outfits with great panache yet there is no comparison to their appearances in ethnic wear.


It was a wonderful treat to our eyes to see the Indian beauties don a Desi attire in the Umang police show 2012 and while some looked great and some not-so-great yet they all carried themselves with great confidence and style. Rani Mukherjee and Vidya Balan turned up in a Sabyasachi collection , to no one’s surprise obviously. But it was Kangana Ranaut who was the highlight of the event and dazzled everyone with her Desi mantra. Dressed in a cream and gold saree with pink blouse she was an epitome of grace and elegance. Mandira Bedi adorned a cream saree with golden lotus motifs and a spaghetti strap blouse. From our side , we would give her a thumbs up.

It was also the day for salwar suits where Ragini Khanna looked ethereal in a white anarkali salwar suit. On the contrary, Sonali Bendre in her white churidar kameez looked simple yet trendy.
