OOTD: Summer Co-ords | Favourite OOTD | Life Updates | Quitting Youtube

Hi guys,

I am doing an OOTD post after months, and quite honestly it’s been all about Instagram of late. Bloggers share everything on Instagram/Instagram stories because it’s much quicker, and reaches many more people and instantly. It’s all about instant gratification, and the new apps are giving what the people want or they didn’t know they wanted?!

OOTD Summer Co-ords | Favourite OOTD | Life Updates | Quitting Youtube

I just wanted to talk to you guys and pour my heart out. So this post will random bits and pieces of my life along with this outfit and what I feel about Instagram and Youtube.

I shot this outfit last September, yes it’s been a long time and why I haven’t shared it yet? I had downloaded the pictures but never got around selecting and editing them. Usually if I like 3-4 pictures from one outfit shoot, I will share them on Instagram but if I get like 7-8 good pictures and I love all of them, I will share it in a blog post. I used to share all outfit pics here earlier but as I mentioned Instagram is just quicker, talk about being an easy devil :/

Easy it is, devil you guys know how Instagram has been. Since the last few months, I am not enjoying Instagram at all. You must have seen I used to do one post daily and now I am not so active. Sometimes I don’t even share any stories, the only problem is if I am not active for 3-4 days, Instagram reduces my reach and it becomes so bad that when I start posting, for at least about a week, no one can even see my posts on their feed unless I ‘promote’ that post. So Instagram has taken the Facebook route finally, and now your post won’t reach ‘your own’ followers unless you promote it. It’s like I have to forcefully remain active and post something, so that at least the minimum reach it is giving me anyway, that doesn’t get affected.

And as if Instagram wasn’t enough. Youtube is also doing the same. Apparently even if people are subscribed and sometimes have hit the bell icon as well, youtube doesn’t show your videos in their subscriptions or notify them. I have never been super active on Youtube but I am trying to. I go through those phases but in between 3-4 months I think I didn’t post anything at all, and the same thing happened on youtube, some unsubscribed, some aren’t getting my videos. I am currently getting half the views of what I used to get and it’s really discouraging and demotivating especially because Youtube unlike Instagram takes whole day to shoot, edit, etc. and it’s very time consuming. And then when your videos are seen by hardly 100-200 people even though 8700+ are subscribed, I don’t know how to express but it feels terrible and I thought of quitting youtube and not posting anything at all.

Some bloggers have shifted to IGTV because it’s new and that’s why the reach is much better there. I don’t know, all platforms come up with something new and push it for a year and then again same, paid promotions and push for ads to reach people. Same cycle. Everything is a vicious chain.

Instagram recently banned me for 3 days for apparently some copyright issue and nothing else was mentioned in the email which was a general mail and you cannot contact them or ask them about it. It’s so unfair because all my pictures and content are my own, and I hardly post videos or music and it’s all no copyright music even if I use. I contacted them 15-20 times on the app, of course never got a reply and I also asked my facebook account manager but even she couldn’t help. So for 3 days, I couldn’t post or like or comment, could just see the feed, not even stories.

I realized how Instagram can block the account permanently anytime and there is no solution to it. One cannot rely on Instagram and have to keep all other platforms open and need to have one primary platform i.e. blog/Youtube. Again Youtube also can deactivate your channel/account anytime. How we depend for our life/career on these platforms and how unreliable they are, it’s just scary!

I am trying to post regularly again on both Instagram and Youtube, I know I might go through the quitting/demotivated phase again but I don’t know if there is a solution to this. I would really love for you guys to like and comment on my Instagram and Youtube if you watch my videos and see my posts on Instagram, at least I can see some engagement and might help me push myself. That would mean a lot, I only see some people engage during giveaways and I know who they are. And I know people who regularly and genuinely follow me since years, I know your names, I know who you are and thank you for always supporting me. I really need your support again.

Coming to this outfit, this has to be one of my most favourite outfit/shoot I have done. The red orange colour, the co-ords and how flattering they are for my body type. The location/lighting/hair/makeup everything complimented and worked out so well.

The top has statement sleeves and is adjustable from the front, the skirt is well fitted and can be zipped from the side, it was slightly loose on the waist and I had to be careful there 😀 I loved the feather, leaves, circles, polka dots print on it and it screams summer and vacation, perfect for this season

It’s a super simple outfit and I kept the accessories also minimal and simple because I wanted the focus on the outfit. I paired it with my Daniel Wellington watch and pearl earrings and wore my Kendall and Kylie flat slides. (which I now wear everyday! So comfortable)

I hope you liked the outfit, do let me know your thoughts. And what do you think about Instagram/Youtube? Also any engagement would be really helpful and would mean a lot, thank you 🙂

OOTD: Love for Co-Ords

OOTD: Love for Co-Ords

Hi guys,

I am loving co-ords these days and I have shot three set of co-rds in last month alone, including this one 😀 It’s not just a skirt and crop top, it can be a longer maxi skirt or a pant suit or a pant top too.

Co-ords are basically same colour/print/fabric. Made from the same fabric and colour, just two separates which can be either paired together or separately mixed and matched with different things.

But when paired together, they look amazing. I love the fact that they are versatile and you can create different outfits with co-ords but some look good together only.

I got this co-ords set from Lulu & Sky sale recently and it almost looks like a dress. There is not much gap in between the crop top and skirt here, I find Lulu & Sky sizes very varied. It’s a big issue and I always end up returning 1-2 outfits if I buy like 3-4 at a go.

Last time I had a lot of issues in returns and they didn’t process my refund for a month, hence I have stopped shopping from Lulu & Sky for now 😀

Every outfit of theirs has a different size just like SheIn, so there is no set standard that if you are a M in this, you will always be M. For e.g. I fit in some M and some L from Lulu, and some L were super tight and they look S. It’s that varied literally and hence a hit and miss.

This set is L and the skirt is still slightly tight at the waist as you can see 😀 So it’s high waist and hence there is not much gap in between and it looks like a dress.

But I loved the fine floral print and the skirt is very skater-ish which makes the outfit look very pretty. And on sale, I got this set for around Rs.450 which I thought was a fabulous deal, hence went for it. I did doubt the size though and it fit just above right, like a little adjustment wearing it slightly high but won’t fit if I put on a little weight 😀 Such sizing is always tricky.

I kept the shoes flat and comfy, I am happy slides are back into fashion as they are very comfortable to walk around in and look cute as well.

Anyhoo coming back to co-ords, the fabric is thick and comfortable and the off shoulder top has elastic where it ends, so it fits well. It does bunch up a bit on the top because of the elastic at the bottom, so you have to keep on adjusting that. But at least you know it’s secure unlike some flimsy crop tops which could fly up if windy 😀

There are other fun co-ords OOTD’s coming soon 🙂

Random Rambles : Shy Influencer? Overcoming it? ‘Reality’ of Blogging?

Random Rambles : Shy Influencer? Overcoming it? ‘Reality’ of Blogging?

Hi guys,

This post is totally different from what I have done till now, I always stick to makeup/outfits and very rarely I do post about my personal life. I did when I got engaged, married and had met with an accident. Life has been routine pretty much, but I was just wondering how much I have grown and just wanted to share some random personal thoughts on my mind.

It’s difficult for people to believe that you are a shy/introvert person when you are a social media influencer/blogger/YouTuber as in most cases, it’s the opposite 😀

I saw Jordynn from Colourpop mention once on how all the international Youtubers they meet for the first time, are very shy. So it’s a usual phenomena because sitting in one room and recording alone is very different than going out and actually meeting people. The same goes for bloggers, as they just sit and write about their experience. Though it’s different for the new age influencers who start with Instagram/Musical.ly and likes, as they are young millenials and love interacting and meeting new people. It’s all about videos these days, and most of them are outgoing extroverts.

I am a very shy person and quiet in general, I don’t talk much even with family and friends. I have always been quiet, and when I was studying alone whole day for CA exams, etc., I was just with my books for 80-85% of my day. Even now I am pretty much all alone through the day, except when hubby or house help at home, or I am talking on the phone (which again hardly lasts 1-2 mins). Maybe it all added up and I became quieter in life.

Now how difficult is it to become an influencer if you are an introvert? It is surely difficult, you have to overcome your shyness and do many things out of your comfort zone almost on a daily basis. You attend events, meet people, network and socialize, even that is difficult when you are just shy in general. It’s all awkward initially, I remember my first 2-3 events and it was difficult even conversing with people and I used to hardly talk. I am more of a spectator at events, though I have improved a lot and overcome most of my shyness in the past few years. I still only talk more with people I am comfortable with and know since a long time. I still can’t talk to new people 😀

Certain campaigns require you to do certain things, and if you are not this over the top happy and goofy/excited person all the time (totally not me), it’s difficult to act like that and your work won’t get approved till you show that enthusiasm, especially for video campaigns. It requires multiple takes and approvals in that case!

Also if you have met me during meet and greets or even generally, you must have noticed that I don’t talk much or am not that ‘excited all the time’ person. I am not snobbish, but I just can’t talk and take forever to open up.

I have grown so much and overcome a lot of my fears/shyness. I experiment with shoots, outfits, and feel like doing so much more. I used to only work with Sneha from Rhythmic Focus and was very comfortable with her, even she has seen me grow and the change in me from what I was 2-3 years ago. I couldn’t even pose back then, and I still feel awkward in public places but I really admire the young influencers I see around and get inspired by them. I am open to learning and change, and improve things. I have also started working with other photographers who wanted to collaborate with me, as it was a good opportunity to break out of my comfort zone. It also helped me understand what angles/poses work for me.

The more work you do, the more you experiment, the more confident you become. I started YouTube around 3-4 years ago and even though I am far from pro at it, I have come a long way and can face cameras confidently now. My initial few videos I was very shy and conscious, I was awkward at events where they required video bytes. Now I am always ready for any video bytes and don’t think twice 😀 Blogging, Reading, YouTube and making videos has also helped me a lot in the way I write, speak and converse, I have become so confident overall and I can see my growth from 2010 to now.

I was quite naive initially and even till 2-3 years ago I was gullible and people have used me at many instances. I have worked for free, have adjusted and compromised many times, shared my own pictures and work with people, covered events for someone else, have helped people with hashtags, handles and what not because they are too dumb to remember or even know the spellings, even after sharing multiple times!

I have gone out of my way to help people and continued doing it almost 6-7 years. I have learned to say ‘NO’ now, there comes a point when you realize it’s enough and you have to take a stand for yourself. You don’t want to be used anymore! The very same people vanished after that 😀 Haha, isn’t that obvious? Because they don’t have any benefit being friends with you now!

I have met so many new bloggers who are very warm and friendly. You can find out how a person is when you meet them often and talk to them, see how they behave and how they are online. Of course there are many living a dual life and fake it online, they don’t want people to know their reality! I have seen so much in these 8-8.5 years, people are completely different online or once when you shoot/record and offline once the recording stops. Some are here just for the money and there is so much jealousy and negativity, it gets on you at times.

There are Instagram pods where a group of bloggers like and comment on each other’s pictures. There are many such pods in India too, but I never participated in them. I have seen the very same bloggers who write amazing things on each other’s pictures bitch about them behind! I can’t handle this hypocrisy or being dual faced, it’s my pet peeve. I like and comment when I feel like or I genuinely love the picture/person.

There is this thing about liking and commenting on each other’s pictures, even without a pod. Like bloggers would like and comment only if you do the same on their pictures. It’s like ‘you scratch my back, I scratch yours’ funda and I don’t really get it. I like so many pictures on a daily, not just bloggers, but so many followers and random accounts too. If I like the picture, I heart it. Why the unnecessary drama?!

You may have ‘friends’ in this blogging world, but you are truly on your own, like in every industry! Some people are friends with each other, only because they like each other’s pictures or shoot for each other. No one is friends here without any benefit. Some are on and off friends and make fun of the so called ‘friend’ and bitch about them, when off. Until they are friends again! Some try to spread negativity about you, or want to take advantage of the situation. Everyone knows everything, but they just don’t talk about it, like in any glamour industry. I would just say ‘Don’t be fooled by what you see online’ and ‘Don’t follow anyone blindly’. Take everything with a pinch of salt. Nothing surprises me anymore in this blogging world, as I have literally seen it all. And from what I have heard, it’s not restricted to beauty and fashion blogging, but in all genres.

I have always believed in ‘Live and Let Live’ and ‘To Each His Own’, so whatever works for you. I stay away from all of this and just do my own work. I wanted to write down my thoughts as my mind was cluttered with many things.

Coming to the pics, I had this bath tub theme in my mind since a long time and when I finally got this opportunity, we decided to shoot it. It feels amazing when you think of a concept, and the outcome is very similar to how you imagined it.

I am pretty happy with how it turned out, let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

OOTD: Transitioning from Summer to Winter Fashion

OOTD: Transitioning from Summer to Winter Fashion

Hi guys,

So this is what I wore for Lakme Fashion Week Day 2. I had a mini meet and greet with 3 of you lovely girls and then had a Tresemme shoot, so I planned to shoot this outfit too as my photographer Sneha was anyway coming for the video shoot.

What to wear for fashion week is always confusing, since it is Winter/Festive season but still we are in monsoons and just transitioned from summer, you can utilize both the seasons’ trends in this mid period.

Summer is all about bright colours, cotton/linen, flowy fabrics. I love yellow/orange and more so in summers. And winters is always about layering, blazers, dark colours, etc.

Now here I wore this white and yellow summery outfit and paired it with a linen grid blazer, combining both the seasons’ trends and elements.

(Check out more outfit ideas HERE)

Both this yellow skirt and the linen blazer are my recent purchases from ShopBop. I got this bright yellow skirt at a very good sale deal and this blazer is from JOA x Chriselle Lim Collection which is exclusive to ShopBop and is also on sale now, as I believe they would be having last few pieces now. I also got a crop top from this same collection, which is the same print and colour as this blazer.

I absolutely loved this blazer, the colour, the grid and it’s linen, so very comfortable. Love the button detailing on the sleeves too.

I picked two tees in white and black the previous day from Reliance Trends just like that, as I always stock up on good basics as they work with a lot of things.

I always plan my outfits in my head a day prior to an event/occasion and I instantly brought out all three of this new purchases and tried them together and absolutely loved the outcome. It looked exactly like I thought it would in my head 😀

For the bag, I was confused about this orange jute one or my white DVF one. I chose the jute one and for the shoes, went with basic black brogues.

I love how this outfit is also androgynous i.e. a combination of feminine and masculine elements along with seasons.

For makeup also, I went with yellow/orange/gold tones and it complimented the outfit so well. And we shot after my Tresemme video shoot, so got my hair done too in nice curls (which didn’t stay long on my hair unfortunately as I have super straight hair :p)

We shot at different places at St. Regis where the Lakme Fashion Week is held in Winter/Festive season. It’s a beautiful hotel with amazing backdrops and we got some very good shots. I loved how this outfit and shoot came about.

5 Times International Celebs Wore Sarees in India and Floored Us All!

5 Times International Celebs Wore Sarees in India and Floored Us All!

From #iwearhandloom to #100sareepact and #protestsaree, a saree has come a long way and is definitely not at all sorry! Saree has come a long way. Not just Indian, but international celebrities too have put the saree on a pedestal. Be it for a saree as a symbol of diversity on international borders or an all-inclusive customary attempt to honour and compliment Indian traditions on a maiden voyage. A saree has arrived on the world stage and how! The world has opened up to the Indian traditional outfit and here we bring you 5-sightings of international celebrities in a saree!

Sophie Trudeau

The Canadian family won hearts and accolades for its down to earth manners and transparency on its India trip. While all of them looked amazing in Indian attire but it was Sophie who looked so graceful and elegant in a pearl white south Indian saree. She pulled the look of ethnic diva effortlessly and looked unbelievably charming.

Serena and Venus Williams

These ladies can kick some serious ass on a tennis court. Though, here you can take some lessons on how bad styling can ruin your looks even if you are a celebrity of an international repute. That velvet-y blouse is downright tacky and a big no. However, on other occasions, we know that this power duo knows how to rock a dress or two. This one certainly is going down in the fashion books as a disaster that could have been averted with little attention.

Oprah

Besides, learning a trick or two of draping a saree from Aishwarya Rai at her own show, she wears an Indian handloom saree when she is in the country. Though, it will be delightful to see her in a handloom saree made by local craftsman and artists than a designer’s.

Stacy Jacobs

It is often seen that international celebrities wear sarees as an honorary act and we would certainly like that to change! Not many of us know Stacy Jacobs. She is one woman who is single- handedly leading protests against the Trump government for the border along the Mexican border. She doesn’t hold any banners and believes that borders look beautiful only on sarees. Her stint with sarees started during her India visit in 2015. She deducted sarees has one impossibly beautiful outfit. She wears handloom sarees woven by tribes and local artisans in India.

Kim Kardashian

It was so refreshing to see Kim Kardashian in a saree. She brought her signature oomph and sensuality to the six-yard stunner. The sequins and shimmers look ethereal on her. She keeps accessories minimal to draw attention to her sculpted jawline and collar bones. The pleats on pallu are folded for a stylised look.

These beautiful and prominent international celebrities are wearing sarees and marking India’s presence on a global map. What’s your excuse for not wearing a saree to your office and rock it just like they do?

Kurtis for Different Occasions & How to Pair Them

Hi guys,

Today I am talking about kurtis, how versatile kurtis are and there is one kurti for every occasion.

When it comes to the well-defined ‘Indian wear’, the first thing that comes to our mind while walking towards the closet is Kurti. This fashion trend never goes off and one of the best smart casual wear. In fact, Kurtis are so versatile that you can wear them for college, office, family events, day-out, party wear and literally every way you prefer.

Kurtis can be made adaptable with various styles like short or medium length, from various materials of cloth and the embroidery as well. thus, the exclusive designs, elaborate patterns, various hues and appealing shades blended with western as well as Indian styles has made Kurti so popular as a fashion trend. There are various reason to love them, different ways to pair them up.

I came across this site ‘Rangriti’ and they have such gorgeous kurtis. There is one for each occasion from work to more casual wear to more dressy ethnic. I have picked a few here and highlighted which can be worn for what occasion.

1. Yellow Short Kurti

Now this one is so colorful! I love the yellow and pink combination and the pom pom bead tie-ups. This is more of a casual wear. You can team it with denims or a nice, long, flared skirt. If going for a casual brunch, then with denims and if for some wedding related function like a mehendi, this would look perfect with a flared skirt in pink.

2. Indigo Blue mid length kurti

This will work with a white churidar for work and even a white skirt/palazzos for a more boho look. Team it with feather/beads/colorful accessories for a casual boho chic look.

3. Mustard yellow long kurti

Now this one can be a little dressy. Team it with a black churidar and maybe even a heavy dull gold work dupatta and you can wear it for a wedding.

There are so many ways to wear a kurti and one can dress it up or dress it down on teaming with correct bottoms and accessories. I love kurtis and have so many different styles of them in my wardrobe.

I love online shopping and the variety of kurtis available online these days is amazing. Also at very affordable prices. I would highly recommend to buy kurtis online.

What is your favourite way to wear a kurti? Do you go boho chic with kurtis? Let me know some of your ideas in the comments below.

Best Off-Screen Looks of Kriti Sanon

By Nidhal

Within a span of merely two years, Kriti Sanon has catapulted herself to the status of the ‘Next Big Thing’ in Tinsel-town. A model-turned- actress who ventured into the glamorous and glitzy world of movies, Kriti began her career with modelling initially and then, signed some flicks down South.

Making inroads into Tinsel-town with Heropanti opposite Tiger Shroff and then, starring in the commercial potboiler ‘Dilwale’ with superstars SRK and Kajol, opposite Varun Dhawan, Kriti has her kitty full with many flicks. A towering height with porcelain skin and slender frame, she has all the trappings of a Hindi film heroine. Making her presence felt every now and then thanks to her impeccable fashion sense, let us treat our eyes to the Best Off-screen looks of Kriti Sanon 🙂

1. TRAVELLING IN STYLE- Airports aren’t ramps. So, one does not have to style themselves in an overly dramatic way to create a statement. Comfort should preside over anything here. And who better than Kriti to prove it? Swaddled in a pair of jet black denims with a casual plaid shirt and hair lustrous locks let loose, Kriti gives us major style goals with her sartorial sense.

2. AT THE LAUNCH OF ‘MANMA EMOTION’ SONG- Opting for an H & M shirt, Zara dress, VANS shoes and rings by KOOVS, Kriti dazzled at the song launch of ‘Manma Emotion’ from Dilwale. With minimal makeup and her hair done up neatly, she posed for a pretty picture.

3. DURING HEROPANTI PROMOTIONS- Opting for a bodycon dress from Bebe for the promotion of Heropanti in Chandigarh, Kriti goes simple and looks exquisite. The attire surely complements her slender frame and skin tone.

4. SHOWCASING HER STREET STYLE- Looking chic in a grey tank and ankle-length ripped jeans, Kriti left for Hyderabad to shoot for the final schedule of her then impending movie- Dilwale. She accessorised her look with black sunglasses, white sneakers, tan belt and a shoulder bag.

5. IN ‘NOT SO SERIOUS’ BY PALLAVI MOHAN- Sporting a multi-print dress by Pallavi Mohan for another promotional event of Dilwale, Kriti looked poised and pert. With a pair of metallic oxfords from Aldo and her poker-straight tresses let loose, she completed her look.

6. KEEPING THINGS CASUAL- With a heart patterned sweatshirt from Shahin Mannan that was styled with denims and metallic sneakers, Kriti posed for a picture. Certainly, not going overboard is her mantra and we see her keeping things casual but chic.

7. IN A ‘FALGUNI AND SHANE PEACOCK’ DRESS- Kriti opted for a gorgeous feathery long black dress by Falguni and Shane peacock during one of the promotional events of Dilwale. The accessorised her look with a pair of diamond studs while going minimal in the makeup department.

Editor’s Note: I loved all her casual looks, especially the Pallavi Mohan dress.

5 Fashion Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before going to the University

5 Fashion Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before going to the University

There are always a couple of things that you should ask yourself before going out in order to look appropriate on every occasion. Fashion plays quite a big role in the students’ everyday lives therefore put your custom essay aside and read this article to know how to wear the clothes your group mates may even envy for.

⦁ What do I want to show and tell?
Ask yourself why are you going to wear exactly these clothes? What do you want to tell the world? What is your mood today?
For example, if you want to attract the boys’ attention, wear a short skirt and a blouse or a T-shirt with a deep V-neck. If you want to make people see that you do not care about style and comfort is the only thing you care, then wear jeans and a large blouse. In addition, ask yourself if the clothes you want to wear are going to grab an attention of people or make them laugh? If you feel uncomfortable with something, take it off or replace.

⦁ Is it my size and does my figure have a normal shape?
Check the sizes and the structure of your clothes before going to the university because nobody wants to have a figure that looks weird. Sometimes bulges can disappear if you wear a push-up bra or a fitted sweater. However, some clothes need to be fixed by a tailor. However, if you have the rapper style or you are too slim and want to seem bigger, than the size of your clothes may be bigger.

⦁ Do I look perfect (and probably appealing)?
Check your outfit for flaws and fix them. Consider ironing every item. In case if you see a big hole or a couple of missing buttons on your clothes, it may be better to change the outfit. Do not accept the busted clothes, be always accurate and spick-and-span. In addition, it is recommended to take a look at all the clothes in your wardrobe monthly and divide them into three piles: 1) Good clothes 2) Clothes that you are not going to wear anymore 3) Clothes that you need to fix. Track your wardrobe!

⦁ Does my style change when I take some accessories off?
Sometimes we want to wear some accessories that can grab the attention fast. It may be a bright hat or a scarf. However, what if it will be too hot and you will want to take it off? If you feel that your style will have negative changes if you will remove the scarf or hat, then consider making some changes in your outfit.

⦁ Do I feel as a superstar?
Clothes usually make us feeling powerful. Every girl knows that a new beautiful dress can make us feel like a princess. You should wear the clothes that seem to make people saying “wow” when they see you.

Successful people try to wear the outfit that looks not only trendy and appropriate but that gives them a feeling that they can do everything as well.

All in all, there are Top 5 questions that you must ask yourself before going to the university. Feel free to combine the styles and make different matches until you look perfect! In addition, do not listen to others, make your own choices and be happy. Good luck!

The New Trend: Naked Dresses

By Pallavi

Hii Fashionistas,

You might have heard about the new fashion siren which is also called “NAKED DRESS”. You might be wondering what is this naked dress?? How can they do go together?? Well, naked dress is something which shows maximum part of your body by covering only the private parts. It is not like your entire body is exposed. You will be covered head to toe but it will be a sheer gown only the private parts will be actually covered. Well, you might think that this is a very daring and bold outfit. Well, that it is.

Naked dresses have been worn since long back. The very first celebrity who flaunted naked dress was the Hollywood goddess Marilyn Monroe. But after many years again the Hollywood celebrities began with the trend and recently some bollywood beauties have also worn the same. Read below to know the best naked dresses worn –

1. Jennifer Lopez – The goddess of Hollywood wore this dress at the 2015 AMAs. You can term her as the queen of naked dresses. She herself has worn 5 naked dresses for her shows. And this gown designed by Charbel Zoe is surely a show stealer.

2. Rihanna – Her nearly nude gown worn at 2014 CFDA awards not only was a show stealer at the awards but also was a really hot topic on the internet too. The gown was designed by Adam Selman.

3. Kim Kardashian – She is the queen of controversy and not to forget sexy figure too. And even during her pregnancy when people especially actresses choose to stay indoors she came out wearing a brave enough naked dress.

4. Priyanka Chopra – Our desi girl also rocked the naked dress trend. In this year Oscars she wore the classy white gown with sheer details and a sweetheart neckline. She just stole the show in her diamond hoop earrings and oxblood lipstick.

5. Gwen Stefani – Oscars 2016 was dedicated to a number of naked dresses. The red sheer gown worn by Gwen Stefani was defiantely one of them. She wore a red gown with details only at the correct places. This gown by Yanina Couture definitely was a show stealer for that evening.

6. Freida Pinto – She also have been a talk of the town in terms of fashion. She wore a steel gray naked dress at a film screening. With her red lips and Smokey eyes she rocked the entire outfit.

7. Miley Cyrus – Miley rocked the black naked dress in the AMFAR inspiration gala. She looked very trendy and upbeat with these black gorgeous gown. And she also wore the same outfit in silver colour too.

8. Sophie Choudhary – The MTV goddess looked fabulous here. She rocked a semi naked balck dress designed by Manav Gangwani. And her lower body was entirely covered but she looked equally sexy and breathtakingly beautiful at the IIFA awards.

9. Diane Kruger – Another Hollywood hottie wearing the naked dress. This oxblood colour naked dress simply stole the show at Oscars 2016. The gown was designed by Reem Acra.

10. Sonam Kapoor – Last but not the least, our bollywood Fashionista wore the brave enough naked dress during Neerja promotions. The navy blue midi dress by the brand Self Portrait simply looked stunning.
