Why pick plain sarees? It's simple! They are stylish and versatile, and they can be dressed up with bold jewellery or kept minimal for a demure look!

Here's your Bollywood-approved saree guide to nail the 'forget' prints and 'embrace' plain trend:

Alia Bhatt

When she flaunts the saree, it becomes a trend! The talented Bollywood star recently turned heads at ace designer Sabyasachi brand's 25th-anniversary gala draped in a plain black saree. To complement the plain fabric of the saree, she chose a dense sequin and studs-encrusted plunging neckline sleeveless blouse. The look was indeed high-glam personified.

With statement jewellery, golden makeup (to match the striking hue of the blouse), and a chic bun, Mrs. Kapoor gave the masterclass in plain clothing trend!

Rashmika Mandanna

Srivalli's love for sarees is out there (check her Insta to gain some saree insights). For one of the movie promotional events, Miss Expressive Eyes draped herself in a peacock green silk satin saree. Her choice of sequin-detailed matching blouse added the right amount of jazz and drama to the plain ensemble.

Rashmika kept her makeup and hairdo understated to allow the captivating hue of the no-print saree to take the lead. Like her, you can pick a plain saree in a jewel-toned hue and forget about the print or pattern!

Khushi Kapoor

She is a youth-style icon who loves to experiment with her modern-ethnic style statements. Khushi's pick of a shimmery plain saree is a testament to choosing fabrics that catch the attention. The plain, textured material of a shimmery, ombre-toned saree makes the ideal pick for special occasions. Her plunging-neckline, crop-top style blouse seamlessly complemented the cocktail-style plain saree!

Janhvi Kapoor

Plain sarees when chosen in vibrant tones bring out the best in you! Try it, to believe it. Take a style cue from Janhvi who exuded glamour and confidence in a parrot green plain saree, detailed with a mirrorwork border, and matched it with a powder-blue hued halter neckline sequin blouse.

Sonam Kapoor

Think plain is too bare and boring? Just add some frill or lace to it, like Sonam did! Bollywood's original fashionista Mrs Ahuja served the ultimate fashion statement in a plain ensemble! Her mud brown plain saree detailed with crochet thread border showcases just one thing - experiment with your look and notice the difference!

Sonam being Sonam understands the importance of complementing pieces of clothing. Her handcrafted, thread-patterned crochet blouse refined the plain fabric of the saree beautifully. The style goddess completed the quintessential Parsi lady avatar with natural makeup, a simple bun, and curated accessories. Can it get more classier? Nah!
