The ageless Rekha, draped in her gold Kanjeevarams, could give girls half her age tips on being saree wise

Kajol's fashion style may not match up to her talent but she doesn't put a foot wrong when it comes to getting traditional

And if you thought a saree looks great on everyone, think again. Repeat offender Ameesha Patel turned up at Shilpa Shetty's Diwali do looking like the pink peril

The jury's still out on Kiran Rao's choice of saree blouse at nephew-by-marriage Imran Khan's wedding
