What do Bollywood fashionistas plan to wear this Diwali - any guesses? Here are some basic predictions - Twinkle Khanna might wear Abu-Sandeep, Sonam Kapoor may or may not be dressed in Anamika Khanna, Karisma and Kareena Kapoor could pick Manish Malhotra, and we expect to see several stars in Sanjay Garg/Raw Mango and Sabyasachi. Just as a refresher, here's a recap of what celebrities wore last year. Diwali is about luxe, bright ethnic outfits - while some do go the extra mile to experiment, most stick to traditional looks. Last year's dominant colours were golden hues with shades of cream for the creme-de-la-creme of Bollywood. Pinks, magentas, gold and fabrics like silk, net and velvet gave festival spirits a different feel last year. Here's a picture of celebrity festivities from last Diwali:
The annual Bachchan Diwali party is a red letter day on the celebrity social calendar. Last year, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wore cream embellished Abu-Sandeep, seen in this picture posted by Bipasha Basu who wore black and gold Sabyasachi:
The Bachchans' other A-list guests included Katrina Kaif in a lacy cream saree and Sonam Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha in lehengas, the first in Anamika Khanna and the second in Arpita Mehta.
