Disha’s smoldering style and ultra-fit body are unbeatable, but her shoe collection is enviable, too. For her sparkling pink fusion lehenga, she chose metallic silver lace-up heels wrapped elegantly around her ankles. These spaghetti-strapped high heels are non-negotiable if you enjoy the art of glamming up. 

Whether your attire is minimalist or maximalist, a great pair of metallic heels offers endless styling options. As it’s evident from Disha’s ensemble, they are the perfect companion to your ethnic outfits, even better if it’s got a thigh-high slit to show those spiraling lacy straps.

To keep her denim-on-denim looking classy, Mrunal opted for a pair of nude stilettos. These types of heels come in various styles, but a nude-toned stiletto heel is essential to anyone’s shoe collection. A textbook image of versatility, they will look great no matter what you wear with them. Moreover, the right nude color creates an illusion of long legs, making you look taller. 

Like Mrunal, when you want your outfit to be the center of attention, nude stilettos can give you height without stealing the show. Her pointed-toe stiletto heel comes with an ankle strap, which is the way to go if you prefer your heels to have ample support.
