Cheery colours
We are crushing on the sunny colours our B-town divas are stepping into - from cheerful pinks to sunny yellows to cool blues. The endearing Shraddha Kapoor always gives us fashion goals with her fresh dewy minimal makeup and chic style. We loved her one-shouldered loud pink satin pantsuit at the trailer launch of her film Haseena Parkar. With her mid-parted hairdo and shoulder-grazing colourful floral danglers, Shraddha looked at her cheerful best.

Throw your hair up in top knot and accessorise with colourful long earrings. Shop the look- Jewellery Code: 384993 Pair falling drop earrings with bright colour outfits for a dressy look.
Stripe- tease
They are dominating the runways this season. Vertical or horizontal, stripes are everywhere whether in classic pinstriped officewear or cool casual outfits. If worn right, it can accentuate your curves. The B-town beauties too are bitten by the stripe bug. Take a cue from Raabta actress Kriti Sanon who knows how to rock the stripe look. We loved her sporty airport style of a navy blue and white striped jumpsuit teamed with just a ring.#kritisanon looks 'wow' in this airport look @im_siddhesh619 A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) on
Get the look: An off-shoulder striped top is an easy classic. Add a long statement neckpiece or a wrap choker. If you don’t want to crowd your look, go for a minimal ring.

Blooming florals
Florals never go out of style. Delicate floral printed dresses are perfect for nocturnal parties and social outings too. Take a leaf out of Anushka Sharma’s fashion style book. She aced the floral look for Jab Harry Met Sejal’s promotions recently. Anushka looked chic in an asymmetrical hem and high-necked floral dress with delicate earrings and ring.Anushka in @hemantnandita @gianvitorossi #isharya @sippysanjana A post shared by Allia Al Rufai (@alliaalrufai) on
Get the look: If the top has a busy floral print, go minimal with one pair of jewellery. Studs are your best bet. If you are sporting neckpieces, try a thin chain with a pendant along with a ring.

Thinking of going traditional this monsoon? Opt for ethnic kurtas and dresses in breathable fabrics.

For her film Mubarakan’s promotions on the Nach Baliye’s Grand Finale, Athiya rocked in a traditional pink and gold chevron print silk dress with a statement silver neckpiece.
