Saris to elaborate gowns: B-Town takes over Saudi Film Festival

BOLLYWOOD 03 Dec (Online): Many big names from the Indian film industry attended the opening gala of the second edition of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIFF). The likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Priyanka Chopra were also present at the renowned event.

The festival has a strong Bollywood presence this year. The second day included Indian divas Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Sonam Kapoor with Priyanka making a second appearance on the red carpet. While Kareena opted for a sheer Sabyasachi sari, Priyanka and Sonam wore elaborate gowns for the evening.

The Heroine actor looked stunning in an Olive Green Sabyasachi sari with dangling diamond and emerald earrings for her first red carpet appearance. The actor chose a smoked-out eye and her signature nude lip, while her hair was kept in a sleek bun.

Sonam, for her first look, opted for a scarlet number by Rami Kadi. Her gown, coupled with an elaborate cape and exaggerated sleeves, fitted the star beautifully. For jewellery, the Sawariya star adorned a diamond neckpiece. She kept her makeup minimal and tied her tresses in a neat bun.

For her second outfit, Sonam chose a canary Samarad off-shoulder gown. The actor looked breathtaking in a centrally parted sleek updo and soft makeup and minimal jewellery. 7
While Sonam and Kareena’s bespoke looks stole the night, the former Miss World’s outfit for the second day failed to impress.

Donning a mustard satin ensemble, Priyanka’s overdone look didn’t stand out among her peers. The retro hair, the bold liner – the whole outfit gave off a very 90s vibe and not in a grand way.
