The largest Indian Independence Day ! In New York

 Vidya Balan’s Cannes fashion disaster was quite fresh in our minds, so we had our fingers crossed for her appearance at the India Day Parade in New York a couple of days ago. However, we were in for a pleasant surprise with Vidya’s choice of clothes and accessories. The pretty lady grabbed eyeballs in an Asmita Marwa kalamkari lehenga.

The Kahaani actor carried off the peacock green block-printed lehenga teamed with a bronze dupatta and mustard yellow choli with great poise and pomp. We especially loved the sexy plunging back of her choli – that is a VB favourite, we know. The heavy border of the lehenga and the gold edge of the dupatta added that dress-up factor to her outfit. Simply beautiful, we must say!

Vidya’s choice of accessories was spot on: minimal. She wore heavy gold earrings and a goldkada. She looked radiant, despite opting for the natural look with very little colour. Her elegantly styled hair sent her score soaring high and we bet the fashion police will forgive her for all the fashion faux pas of the past…

We’re glad that Vidya ditched her Sabyasachi creations this time. It was certainly a welcome change. Don’t you agree?
