Scroll further to see all the versions of blouses, Bollywood wore most recently to fuel more charm into their saree tales.

1. Twinkle Khanna’s Fringed Blouse

Twinkle Khanna observed fringe benefits at the Hello awards night, wearing her Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla drape coupled with a fringed blouse that rendered the much needed offbeat element to the beige escapade.

Off shoulders were all the rage last year and this year too they continue to top the charts. With Indian designers working to translate the trend into head turning desi looks, wearing an off-shoulder blouse is almost a mandate. We are particularly all hearts for the delicate lacy version of a cold-shoulder blouse, that instantly upgrades the feminine quotient of a saree. Seeing Jacqueline working a white lace cold-shoulder blouse with a striking lustrous mustard escapade, has only furthered our belief in them. Like a silent killer, Jacqueline has definitely shunned all her critics with this appearance at the FICCI event, wearing B-Town’s favorite designer, Manish Malhotra.

Looking bold and beautiful as always, Kangana yet again did complete justice to her desi style files.

5. Sonal Bendre’s Fringed Overlaps

As much as Sonali is pretty, we have always admired her fashion choices. Keeping it simple and minimalistic, is the style mantra of this diva. But this year at the Zee Cine Awards red carpet, Sonali delighted us with her more dramatic desi avatar wearing her ivory ruffled drape from designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, with a blouse that exuded adventure. The cold-shoulder overlap with fringed accents acted more as a layering than a blouse making the saree look more interesting and exciting.

6. Kangana Ranaut’s Thin Strap Blouse

With thin strap blouses approaching an all-time high, we can assure you that this trend is here to stay. Rocking a host of her saree looks with thin strap blouses Kangana aced her Indian appearance.

Chic yet so rooted, with such a bling attack one can never go unnoticed, definitely in a good way. If the frontier was glorious the back was envious, with just an inch of clothing holding on to Sridevi’s sexy back.

10. Shilpa Shetty’s Sequinned Halter Neck Blouse

Shilpa Shetty is one of the finest dressers from Bollywood. Blessed with a perfect figure, this lady epitomises style with elegance, particularly when she flaunts her slender frame wearing a saree. At the Umang Awards night, Shilpa looked ravishing in a Mayur Girotra cream saree with a hot gold net blouse. The series of sequined golden stripes offloaded sequentially on a net base halter neck blouse revived major saree goals within us making us want to wear a saree, only to be able to flaunt a sexy blouse like that. This one was indeed a winner.

Since Bollywood is the Mecca of Indian fashion, influencing greatly the Indian audience; we thought of sharing some of the popular blouse designs flaunted by Bollywood actresses at large.

If you ever notice any Bollywood actress, they always focus on their blouse styles rather than their sarees, which effortlessly blend femininity with fashion.

While traditional women prefer fully covered blouse designs to keep up the sophistication, the new age fashion-forwards opt for deep cut blouse necklines and bare backs to show a lot of skin so as to be under the spotlight.

Respecting both the preferences, the designers have conceived an array of styles, suiting almost every requirement and likeness.

Here are top 7 Bollywood blouse patterns, which are trending a lot these days. Continue reading!

11. Princess Cut Blouse Design

This is perhaps the most versatile neck design, fulfilling both conventional as well contemporary requisites in terms of fashion. This is the reason; you’ll find this blouse neck design on the leading fashion runways at large.

From actresses like Sonakshi Sinha and Tamanna to Vidya Balan and the very young Genelia D’souza, every actress adores this style for her lehengas and sarees. The latest seen was Sonakshi Sinha wearing a red lace lehenga with princess cut blouse at the Amby Valley Bridal Fashion Week.

12. Chinese Collar Blouse Design

This is the best formal blouse design for working women, who are more into presentation and public relations. This kind of neck design offers a serious professional look with utmost modesty and elegance at the same time, if chosen smartly.

This type of blouse pattern was made famous by the evergreen Bollywood diva Rekha, who used to don this style in 80’s whenever she portrayed a typical Indian bahu role. Perhaps Rekha had taken Coco Chanel’s quotation to her heart, who has said that the less skin you show, the sexier you look.

This is the reason, when Rekha wore a saree, she made sure to show less of her décolletage. Her long neck with exposed collar bone made this design look great on her body. She looked extremely sensuous even though her back is completely covered.

The blouse sleeve designs can depend on the structure of the arms. Those who have flabby arms, must wear three-quarter or full sleeves. But those who have toned arms can wear sleeveless or cap sleeves boat neck blouse designs.

14. Noodle Strap/Spaghetti Strap Blouse

For those with heavy arms should always go for 3/4th or full sleeves. Aishwarya Rai, who always knows her flaw areas tactfully manages to hide them away from the camera, just as she knows the moment she gains weight, her arms are the first to tell.

16. Blouse With Transparent Full Sleeves

This particular blouse pattern is elegant in its own rights and is both stylish and sophisticated.

This pattern looks great on tall women, especially women with long and thin neck and a great décolletage, as it highlights their best features. In Bollywood, it is often preferred by Sridevi, who looks extremely gorgeous in high neck design blouse and even Deepika Padukone, who looks resplendent in Sabyasachi sarees with high neck blouse designs.

As per fashion designer Kapil Arora,

“High-neck blouses are back in fashion, they are easy to match with any attire, one can team them up with different types of lowers such as cigarette pants or pallazos or one can also wear them under jackets. They easily suit almost all body types.”
