From Cavalli’s two-piece suit to Kallol Datta’s wrap dress — plush velvet was a mainstay on most fall runways. Meanwhile, Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have been generously experimenting with the fabric off the ramp. Sonam collected her Best Actress trophy for Neerja at the Asia Vision Awards in a decadent all-velvet gown from Caroline Hayden. Deepika, meanwhile, paired her Sabyasachi number with an Audrey Hepburn-esque pearl choker. While head-to-toe looks opulent, even veering towards OTT, the faint-hearted among us can experiment more sparingly.
