When it comes to being svelte in sarees, nobody does it quite like our ladies of the silver screen. Here they are, showing us just why the saree is timeless, elegant and the outfit of choice for the fashion savvy.
Aishwarya picks colour as well as pale. The most beautiful woman in the world looks perfect in the whole six yards. Our favourite – the Sabyasachi beige, green and red that she wore to Cannes 2010
Deepika nade a sensational Canne debut wearing Rohit Bal and then repeated her saree success at the premiere of Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. It helps to have that midriff, of course

Perhaps the only thing that could top Madhuri's million dollar smile is the way she looks in a saree. We're thrilled to have her back, and have her be the belle of the Jhalak Dikhhla Ja ball in her sarees
