Trends come and go quickly in the world of fashion, but now there is one trend that has stayed longer than others and is still going strong - the grandma pearl trend.  It has won the hearts of Bollywood celebrities and fashionistas alike and added extra charm to their every look. For the unversed, grandma pearls are not your ordinary pearls, they are large, expensive, symbolise luxury, and demand attention wherever they go. Like other fashion trends, the trend of grandma pearls also began with the influence of stylists and designers. 

Just as Bollywood celebrities are always in search of the next big thing, they noticed the trend of grandma pearls and incorporated them into their outfits. From red carpets to movie premieres, they have embraced the pearl trends in various ways.

Deepika Padukone attended the Cannes Film Festival and her monochrome saree stole all the limelight. She paired her saree with a pearl collar, which became a huge trend. Her white ruffled saree, adorned with pearls and crystal collar made her look like the queen of the ocean, adorned with pearls. She also wore pearl earrings and had her hair styled in a bun, keeping her makeup minimal. If you want to go the extra mile with pearls now, you can take inspiration from Deepika.

KRITI SANON

During the promotion of Adipursh, Kriti wore a pearl saree designed by ace designer Manish Malhotra. She draped a plain white saree with a heavily worked pearl blouse with a corset bodice. The pearl blouse added a touch of elegance to her look. She left her hair open and completed the look with kohl-rimmed eyes, rosy cheek tint and dewy make-up. If you have a solid-coloured saree you can enhance its beauty just like Kriti by pairing it with a pearl blouse.

Sonam left her hair straight and added a chikankari shawl to add an extra edge to her outfit.
