Royal blue: A symbol of mystery and subtlety
The vivid and vibrant festival of Navratri brings joy, prosperity, and success. It is believed that the nine days of Goddess Durga are associated with a colour that represents her nine avatars. Therefore, people across the nation blend spirituality with fashion and participate in the festivities wearing the colour of the day. It is to be believed that on the 7th day of Chaitra Navratri, one should wear royal blue to honour the goddess Kalaratri. Taking inspiration from our Bollywood beauties, let’s see some iconic royal blue sarees to steal from the closet of B-town, these ladies.
Janhvi Kapoor
During the promotions of her film ‘Mili’, Janhvi adorned a stunning royal blue Banarasi saree and added the much-needed desi glam. The blue, silver, and gold combination with floral motifs printed all over the pallu and bodice was teamed with a plain royal blue sleeveless-strappy blouse with a designer back. The ethnic silhouette was completed with a simple, sleek bun hairdo and reflected an old-world charm with a fresh white gajra.

She teamed it with a matching sleeveless blouse and quickly accessorised it with Sangeeta Boochra earrings, a stack of blue bangles, and an iconic ring from Anmol Jewellers.
