Best n Worst Sarees Worn By Vidya Balan

Usually Vidya Balan looks like a sensation in a saree. She is one of those celebrities who are famous for their saree styles. Vidya Balan's sarees are most often unique and traditional. However, not all the sarees worn by the new bride are equally good. Some of her sarees are too experimental and turned out to look hideous.

Vidya Balan's wedding came with much anticipation because everyone expected her to wear some really awesome wedding outfits. Her favourite designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee was designing Vidya Baln's wedding trousseau that consisted of 17 traditional sarees. However, Vidya Balan's wedding saree failed to impress fashion commentators. Post-wedding Vidya Balan has been seen in many sarees designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee.

Vidya has had a bitter-sweet relationship with fashion ever since her debut in Bollywood. She is sometimes applauded for her elegant dressing style and often chided for her disastrous outfits. Even when it comes to sarees, Vidya Balan can either get it very right or go totally berserk.

So these are the best and the worst sarees that Vidya Balan has worn so far. If you are a fan, try picking the best sarees from her collection.

The Temple Wedding: Best Saree

The Temple Wedding: Best Saree

Lets make an auspicious beginning with Vidya's wedding saree. It was a crimson coloured Kanjeevaram; simple yet beautiful. Highly recommended if you want a traditional bridal look.

The Sangeet: Worst Saree

The Sangeet: Worst Saree

Unfortunately, Vidya's look at the ceremony just before the wedding, the Sangeet and Mehendi was totally disappointing. This yellow saree with a red brocade blouse looks too dull for bridal wear.

The Pre-Wedding Bash: Best Saree

The Pre-Wedding Bash: Best Saree

We loved the first saree Vidya wore from her bridal trousseau. This Kanjeevaram designed by Sabyasachi has a brilliant melange of colours and an interesting geometrical pattern.

Zee Cine Awards 2013: Best Dressed

Zee Cine Awards 2013: Best Dressed

Vidya made her first public appearance post wedding in this lovely yellow silk saree. As usual, it was from Sabyasachi's couture and we loved the fine silk.

Filmfare 2013: Worst Saree

Filmfare 2013: Worst Saree

This cotton saree with black and white checks would have looked great on a housewife. It is certainly not appropriate for the red carpet. Moreover, there is nothing unique and dazzling about this saree.

Dabboo Ratnani Calender: Best Saree

Dabboo Ratnani Calender: Best Saree

This simple grey saree is a mix of cotton and silk threads. It looks excellent on Vidya as she has coupled it with the silver jewellery.

Stardust Awards 2013: Worst Saree

Stardust Awards 2013: Worst Saree

By now, we are little tired of seeing Vidya in the same old style of cotton sarees. So this yellow cotton saree worn by Vidya at the Stardust red carpet doesn't inspire us.

Red Hot Sabyasachi: Best Saree

Red Hot Sabyasachi: Best Saree

This red saree that Vidya Balan wore for Amitabh Bachchan's 70th birthday bash is absolutely mesmerising. This is one of the best Sabyasachi creations we have seen in the year 2012.

Red Paithani: Best Saree

Red Paithani: Best Saree

Although Vidya is not too much into reds, it seems to be the colour for her. This is a red paithani saree that is specially made in Aurangabad. It is a classic saree that should be a part of every woman's traditional saree collection.

Filmfare 2011: Best Saree

Filmfare 2011: Best Saree

This light green silk saree was much talked about in 2011, especially because Vidya Balan won the best actress award that year.

Pink & Black Lehenga Saree: Best Saree

Pink & Black Lehenga Saree: Best Saree

This saree was dual coloured with a neon pink drape (pallu) and black polka dotted body. It is one of the best sarees that Vidya Balan as ever worn. Bright, striking and unique, it had everything right.

Shaded Saree: Worst Saree

Shaded Saree: Worst Saree

Vidya wore this dull shaded saree during one of the 'Dirty Picture' events. The pallu of this saree is too drastically unmatched with the saree and the contrast doesn't work at all.

White Georgette With Black Borders: Best Saree

White Georgette With Black Borders: Best Saree

This is one of the classic sarees worn by Vidya Balan. The black and white combination is common enough but it is also evergreen. This is a saree that will suit every woman.

White & Golden Tissue Silk: Best Saree

White & Golden Tissue Silk: Best Saree

This is a off-white saree trimmed with golden work. The material of the saree is called tissue silk and it looks great when paired up with a black blouse.

Red Lace Saree: Worst Saree

Red Lace Saree: Worst Saree

What works with gowns and dresses doesn't necessarily work with sarees. That is the lesson we can take from this disastrous red lace saree.

Black, Gold And Red: Best Saree

Black, Gold And Red: Best Saree

This saree worn at the Golden Petals Awards in 2012 was one of the best sarees we have ever seen on Vidya. It is a Kanjeevaram with a black body, thick golden border and a thin red line running throughout the saree.

Pink, Green And Yellow Lehenga Saree: Worst Saree

Pink, Green And Yellow Lehenga Saree: Worst Saree

Just like too many cooks spoil the broth, too many colours spoil the saree. Especially when none of the colours go with each other.

White And Black Net Saree: Best Saree

White And Black Net Saree: Best Saree

We have rarely seen Vidya in net sarees. But this one is a really beautiful saree that looks regal when teamed up the red brocade blouse.

Red And Bronze: Best Saree

Red And Bronze: Best Saree

This saree that Vidya wore for the Dubai premiere of Dirty Picture is elegant, simple and gorgeous at the same time.

Sequined Purple: Worst Saree

Sequined Purple: Worst Saree

If this saree would have been a plain purple chiffon, it might have looked decent. But the loud sequins on it have spoiled it.
