The Fame Game: Favourite Anarkalis from Madhuri’s looks

by Editors

When the original femme fatale of Bollywood aka Madhuri Dixit is not busy stealing our hearts with her acting and dancing skills, she’s definitely got us swooning over her gorgeous outfits. Her sartorial sense is impeccable and it’s no doubt that she knows how to pull off an ethnic outfit with the utmost ease.
Given her penchant for elegance and poise, it’s no surprise that we’re hooked onto the promotional wardrobe for her upcoming series, The Fame Game. From Indo-western ensembles to chic dresses — the 54-year-old is keeping it versatile and how!
Feminine, but not frilly; classic, but not outdated; sexy, but not risqué– here are some classic Madhuri-inspired Anarkalis that we’ve got our hearts set on. And so will you!
Cue In The Casualwear
Anarkalis were typically worn with churidars or straight pants before they became a fad. However, fashion is evolving, and women want their style to complement their need for comfort. The relaxed-fit and trendy designs of Anarkalis make it a versatile base to build an outfit on.
So whether you close in on a pair of palazzos, a crisp cut churidar, or decide to let the Anarkali do all the talking, you can transition between occasions with ease. Almost as effortlessly as Madhuri, we say!
