5 Bollywood-inspired white saree and contrasting blouse combinations

Plain white sarees are the epitome of timeless elegance and work beautifully for almost any occasion. Whether it’s soft chiffon or rich silk, there’s so much room to play with fabric and styling to create a stunning look - from weddings to red carpet events. The best part? You can instantly elevate a plain white saree by adding a splash of color with a contrasting blouse. It’s a simple trick that takes the outfit from subtle to striking, without being over the top. Taking cues from our favorite Bollywood divas, here are five gorgeous white saree looks paired with contrast blouses for that perfect balance of grace and glamour.

When it comes to fashion, Sonam Kapoor makes sure to keep her most fashionable foot forward, and every time the diva steps out, she surely nails it. For an event, Sonam wore a beautifully designed white saree with a red border and complemented it with a contrasting long-sleeved red brocade neck blouse. Styling it in the most subtle and traditional way, she flaunted the intricate golden detailing at the back and uplifted the white strokes most perfectly.

Ruling the fashion quo for more than a decade now, Alia Bhatt has to be one of the most voguish divas on the list. During the promotion of her film ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, she slipped into a stunning white georgette saree with a black border, which was created by Kshitij Jalori. Uplifting the plain saree with a black blouse featuring white piping, she looked sleek, polished, and subtle, making it an everyday choice for saree-goers.
