Bollywood divas have always preferred to wear the nine yards fabric at award functions... A look at some of the divas who carried it with elan this year.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Manish Malhotra: Aishwarya wore a sequined cream saree. Though not one of the best from her collection, she still managed to look pretty.
Vidya Balan, Sabyasachi: Vidya chose a plain black Sabyasachi saree with a stunning gold and red border. And the highly detailed neck piece takes the cake.
Preity Zinta, Manish Malhotra: We only wish she would wear sarees more often! After a long phase of no appearances Preity looks lovely in the maroonish net saree which goes perfectly with her glow.
Dia Mirza, Gaurav Gupta: Dia looked stunning in this concept saree and teamed it up with a unusual black net blouse. With a perfect face like that how could she go wrong.
Rekha: We wish we could say something good about Rekha's entire look. But the saree is just tacky and loud. She could have definitely chosen one from her amazing wardrobe.
Eesha Narang: Not very flattering outfits generally, but then here Eesha with husband Timmy Narang looks surprisingly good in this white and gold not a very over the top saree, with just the right amount of jewellery.
Aishwarya Rai, Sabyasachi ,2009: Ash could give all actresses a run for their money in this stunning Sabyasachi gold black saree with a best actress nomination in her kitty.
Kareena kapoor, Manish Malhotra ,2008: Kareena chose a very stylish Saif and Farah Ali Khan's chandelier earrings to complement her champagne Manish Malhotra saree.
Bipasha Basu, Sabyasachi ,2009: Bips did a great job with another black saree teaming it up with hot pink bikini blouse, onyx earrings by Gili and her trademark bangles.
Kareena kapoor, Manish Malhotra ,2009: It's hard to say what made this Manish Malhotra sheer net embellished saree famous, the wardrobe malfunction or the saree itself
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Manish Malhotra, 2011 nominations: Ash's mid-night blue stunner didn't surprise anyone. That's all she's been wearing off late!
Kalki Koechlin, Preeti S Kapoor ,2010: Dev D girl is now all grown up and so adorably in a Preeti S Kapoor cream saree, she hid a chinese inspired blouse under it.
Rekha, 2010: Rekha's patent gold collection never fails to impress, especially when accessorized heavily by matching gold jewellery and wine- coloured lipstick on those rose petaled lips.
Urmila Matondkar, Manish Malhotra, 2010: Urmila looks her best when in a saree, beating off almost no competition from the hideous dresses she wears otherwise.
