Athiya Shetty to Ananya Panday—everyone went monochrome in the best looks of the week

In the burgeoning fashion landscape that thrives on sartorial experiments and reinventions, there is but one trend that never loses its relevance– black and white. Far from being pale and ordinary, this monochrome palette thrives on contrast, offering endless possibilities to play with structure, texture, and patterns as seen on stars like Sonam Kapoor, Athiya Shetty, Alia Bhatt and more. All turned to the good old B&W shades with a side of gilded accents for just the right amount of polish. Let’s check the looks out.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve already seen Alia Bhatt’s look for Sabyasachi’s quarter-century celebrations. Draped in a Murshidabad black silk sari, she embodied the designer’s signature style while letting the maximalism shine through her intricately embellished bralette—decked with precious stones, sequins, and metallic threads.

Across the country, Sonam Kapoor marked her presence at Paris Haute Couture Week as Dior’s newly appointed ambassador, sporting a sheer bandeau dress layered under a faux fur coat. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, the look was anchored by knee-high boots and a striking ‘kaala gajra’ from Nomad—handcrafted black florals woven with chanderi over four days. She punctuated the look with traditional Indian accents, like Sahara earrings blending heritage with high fashion– true Kapoor style.
