THE COLOUR-BLOCK SAREE

Is it a saree or a gown? If this was the first question that popped into your mind, you are not alone. Shilpa wore this thigh-high slit pre-draped concept saree for the reality TV show Super Dancer Chapter 4. She made a strong case for concept sarees and colour-blocking fashion in the ensemble.

The six-yards featured a bateau-styled plunging neckline and pleated details. Her modern ensemble was replete with shades of pink, yellow, orange and red.

THE YELLOW SHARARA SET

In this look, Shilpa wore a mustard yellow georgette sharara set by designer Seema Gujral. Replete with mirror work all over, the kurti had a deep sweetheart neckline with a long slit on the front, tassels ties on the back and scalloped hemline. She paired it with wide-legged and high-waisted sharara pants and a scalloped zari dupatta embellished with sequins. She rounded off the ethnic ensemble with statement chandelier-style earrings, a pretty nath and chunky oxidised silver bangles.

THE POLKA SHIBORI ENSEMBLE
