Don't think it's mere coincidence that Sonam Kapoor is promoting Prem Ratan Dhan Payo during Diwali. This has been ordained by the fashion gods themselves just so that you can steal Sonam's promotional looks for the Diwali festivities.
Before you get into the thick of things, start off the celebrations with a family brunch.
Don't bring out the heavy-duty traditional outfits just as yet. A light jumpsuit with a statement necklace should do the trick.
Keep things traditional yet young in an interestingly cut choli and lehenga for thenights you go out partying with the cousins.
Get funky for the card party in a multicoloured look. Soman rocks this busy Abu JaniSandeep Khosla ensemble like a boss.
On D-Day (Diwali Day, duh!) don't hold back, go all out and bring on the bling. You can stick to classic combinations like this blue and pink.
Don't shy away from a sexy, low back choli. Take your look a notch higher with can't-miss-earrings and even a gajra looped around your bun.
Experiment with your hair too like Sonam did with braids that twist into a flower.
If there ever was an occasion to wear a maang tikka, it's Diwali.
End the Diwali festivities by going easy on colour and picking out an elegant, subtle ensemble like this white and gold Rohit Bal look.
