This or that?: Timeless elegance or youthful charm

Bollywood actors Sridevi and Kareena Kapoor were spotted at the NDTV Indian of The Year 2012 Awards in New Delhi looking absolutely stunning.

They were draped in saris and looked so elegant that it became hard for us to pick out our favourite.

Sridevi

Seems like this Bollywood beauty is ageing backwards. Sridevi looks as fresh and lively as she did when she appeared in Chandni. We love her gorgeous smile and those shiny eyes.

Hair & Make-up

Sridevi let her luscious black hair down her shoulders with ends curled loosely, with a little backcombing done at the crown. Her side-parted bangs make her look years younger. She chose the right amount of make-up to complement her outfit. Her well-defined eyes and that bright pink pout look stunning.

Clothes

The dusky actor wore a turquoise and yellow net sari with pearls interlaced with threadwork, which she carried off effortlessly on that curvy bod.

Accessories & Shoes

Sridevi’s blingy diamond necklace with dangly matching earrings is a stunner. However, there is no hint of jewellery in her hands. We wish she had worn some bangles and heavier earrings to up the traditional sari look.

Kareena Kapoor

After her marriage with actor and a Nawab scion, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena has transformed into a begum head-to-toe, with grace and poise oozing from every angle.

Hair & Make-up

Kareena tied her auburn hair in a bun. To add a traditional touch, Kareena wore a jasmine sambac gajray. That bindi on the forehead adds drama to her ensemble along with her signature kohl-rimmed eyes. A ginger pout and lightly rouged cheeks gave the right finishing touches.

Clothes

Kareena looked smouldering hot in that white chikan saari with a red velvet sleeveless blouse.

Accessories & Shoes

The begum is rocking that traditional attire with the right selection of jewellery –intricately etched pearl and gold earrings and that heavy kundan bangle. Sadly, we can’t see the shoes these women are wearing because of their long saris.
