Those flawless OOTDs may look like minimal effort, but Bollywood’s best can swear that your ensemble is only as good as the accessories you complement it with. With the festive season looming ever closer, make fast friends with the darling of all celebrity jewellery kits: a pair of statement chandbalis.
# Sonam Kapoor
The fashion maven made her big debut at the National Awards earlier this year by topping off her Anamika Khanna sari with the chunkiest chandbalis money could buy, from Amrapali Jewels.
# Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt paired her flowy Manish Malhotra lehenga at the IIFA Awards this year with a pair of sparkling danglers from the A-lister favourite jewellery label. She was probably joined at the checkout counter by Ileana D’Cruz, who went for the gold with a statement pair to complement her fringed Payal Singhal lehenga.
# Aditi Rao Hydari
Aditi Rao Hydari, meanwhile, upped the glam of her button-down Tarun Tahiliani ensemble with a head-turning pair from Aquamarine. Bipasha Basu brought the party with her in an embellished Sabyasachi sari and exquisite chandbalis from Jaipur Jewels.
# Kriti Sanon
Kriti Sanon’s back-to-back schedule of movie promotions had her wearing them two ways: With classic emerald drops from jeweller Shilpa Puri and an Arpita Mehta lehenga for Bareilly Ki Barfi promotions, and earlier, as a shoulder-grazing pair from Satyani Fine Jewellery and a boho Surily G dress for Raabta’s promotional spree.
#Bipasha Basu
The bengali beauty matched her chandbalis with transparent full work copper saree.
