Learn how to rock neon colours from these desi stars

Deepika Padukone, Hareem Farooq and Sonam Kapoor are just some who show us how to carry the outrageous hues

Neon seems to be making its way into everything lately and desi stars are going crazy with it.

While we like to see the classic blacks and whites surely, the splash of bright seems to be all over social media these days, making everyone stand out. Stark and stylish, the colour may be a risky one but our fave stars have found a way to incorporate it from the hex code.

From Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's all-neon outfits to Malaika Arora’s eye-catching suit, neon is everywhere. In the case of accessories, we say adding a pair of quirky shoes or bangles to contrast outfits like our very own Hareem Farooq and Sonia Hussyn did.

Let's take a look at our favourite neon looks from the summer season.

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh

We all remember Deepika showing us all how neon is done at Cannes this year. Neon was certainly her thing during the prestigious film festival and since then, many desi stars are following suit.  Who can forget the ruffled green Giambattista Valli gown DP made headlines with?

We also love how she combined bright orange heels with a striped suit. This is a surefire way to incorporate neon without stopping traffic and adding a splash of colour on an otherwise mundane outfit.

And, of course, Ranveer goes hand-in-hand with his wife's outlandish sense of fashion. The Padmaavat star showed the men how to rock a neon suit while still looking oh-so dapper.

Hareem Farooq

Heer Maan Ja star Hareem has jumped onto the neon bandwagon as well. She was recently seen in a variety of shades and we think she did it tastefully. The actor managed to mix elegance and modernism with her neon one shoulder top, white pants and a statement silver belt.

Hareem also wore neon on Chand Raat this year by accessorising with neon pink bangles and we can't get enough!

Sonya Hussyn

Moor actor Sonya is not one to shy away from bold styles.  We love her take on casual neon in Karachi.  The bright green heels match the colour of the stripe on her t-shirt and torn jeans give a weekend day-time feel.

Malaika Arora

Malaika sure turned heads in this neon green suit.  The Bollywood hottie stood out from the crowd by spicing up the business-chic look with the blinding shade and won hearts the world over.

Sonam Kapoor

Last but certainly not least, we are still obsessing over Sonam's take of neon pink for a fun yet elegant evening look that is sure to win hearts.  Wearing a Ralph and Russo number, the bright hue pops against the actor's skin tone and we think she carries neon splendidly.
