Jewellery

The easiest way to add a little sparkle to any outfit is by adding jewellery. Why not pick beautiful yellow or gold bangles and earrings? These can be pulled out of your existing wardrobe to enhance your ensemble. Take a cue from Priyanka Chopra, whose yellow bangles and statement earrings are perfect for some desi inspiration.

Bindi

Another way to incorporate yellow and gold into your look is by sporting a tiny bindi just like Ananya Panday. Part of the solah shringar, it adds an artistic touch to the face and enhances your eyes by making them look more expressive and beautiful.

Potli bag or clutch

If you don’t have a yellow outfit, then pair a festive bling potli bag or clutch to add the hue to your look. It’s best matched with a neutral palette. Madhuri Dixit’s potli looks perfect for the occasion. It adds the right feel and makes her drape look even more gorgeous.

Dupatta or scarf

You can add a touch of yellow by wearing a dupatta or scarf with neutral colours like white and beige. Yellow also complements orange and pink beautifully, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find pieces to mix and match and make your outfit look festive and bright.

Blouse

Think of a white saree with a yellow blouse like Kajol. Her look adds little elements of yellow without going overboard. The pleasant shade of yellow is easy to pair with colours and makes you feel glamorous and beautiful. Add jhumkas and yellow bangles to look just like her, and you are ready to rule!
