Exquisite use of traditional textiles and folk embroideries was another applaud worthy at the show.

Ritu Kumar's pink saree dress is tribute the age old tradition of pleating with a zest twist. The dress was paired with a pant and a head-gear in dull gold, to provide it an edge. A slim belt secures the pleats of the saree at the waist. While the benarsi nature and pink color of the piece walk towards feminine delicacy, pants provide it a sort of independent vibe.

Lauren sizzled the ramp in Little Shilpa's ethereal green dress. The long body-con styled piece was done in a tastefully glitter like fabric with a round neck. Some designing was provided by see-through net fabric at various corners of the piece. Lauren flaunted an off-white bag with the luscious dress.

By: Kajal Jain

Yes, it is true. Hairstyles can be the defining factor of the overall look you decide to carry. No matter you have hair that are long or short in length, you can revolutionize the way you look just by doing your hair a little differently. Here are some hairstyle ideas which are a definite must-try this wedding season:

Side Buns

Perfect for triangle and long faced people, side buns are in this season. The best part about side buns is that they are convenient to dawn for even short haired women who face tough time while experimenting with hair styles due to lack of hair volume.

Center Buns

Square faced women look good in centre-placed buns. A full centre bun needs mid-length hair. Additionally, use of accessories and some back combing can provide the much needed volume for an enhanced look.
