Sridevi’s Manish Malhotra ensemble pairs a shirt with a bold lehenga

Sridevi, with daughter Janhvi Kapoor and husband Boney Kapoor, has been in Goa for the last couple of days along with other Bollywood celebrities, attending the International Film Festival of India. While earlier she was spotted in an ivory Sabyasachi sari, yesterday she chose a black and gold lehenga set by one of her favourite designers, Manish Malhotra. Forgoing the usual choli, Sridevi paired the dramatic brocade skirt with a classic black shirt and a simple dupatta for the event. The sheer golden dupatta featured a sleek gota patti border and complemented the bold design on the skirt.

To make sure that the focus was on her ensemble, the actor accessorised her outfit with a black studded potli bag and simple gold earrings, finishing with intense smoky eyes, glossy pink lips, peachy nails and hair tied in a neat bun.

Sridevi proves with this recent look there are no rules to ethnic dressing, and a full-sleeved shirt makes as great a pair with a lehenga skirt than an actual blouse (for inspiration on styling a skirt as a lehenga, check out our guide). For those looking to make a statement with a twirl-worthy number at a sangeet ceremony, look no further and take tips from actor's recent ensemble.
