Marking her successful 25 years in Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor Khan donned a stylish and graceful Banarasi sari gown designed by Amit Aggarwal.

Turning heads at the NMACC gala last year, Priyanka Chopra opted for a stylish sari gown from the shelves of Amit Aggarwal. The 60-year-old colourful Banarasai brocade sari featured detailed pleats and a stylish pallu, but with a thigh-high slit which instantly captured the attention. Priyanka paired it with a strapless shiny crop-top blouse, and simply had a long trail while carrying the pallu interestingly from the back, giving it a beautiful tone of a sari gown.
