Gota, typically a gold or silver ribbon, has long been used to create unique patterns on fabrics and accessories. It’s used not just to bring life to any outfit but also to decorate items, ranging from headpieces and cushion covers to footwear. This year, its multi-purpose usage was embraced by fashion stylists, making it one of the most loved hair accessories. Similarly, Punjabi parandis, done with colourful silk threads, made a grand comeback. Celebrities flaunted these perfectly stylish yet comfortable adornments as they stepped out to attend festive functions.

Sara Tendulkar opted to tie her ponytail with golden threads, making her stand out at a wedding function. While gota was used minimally, it brought a sparkle to her outfit.
Deepika Padukone is sophistication personified in a sleek brown braid worn with a heavily embellished lehenga. Despite the understated colour, the braid elevated her look.
