Red-Carpet Trend Spot: Go Glamorous with Black and Gold


Last week Priyanka Chopra stunned in a fresh off the LFW runway Arpan Vohra black and gold dress. The beautiful column gown featured gold stripe embellishments which she accessorised with a black Louis Vuitton clutch, striking gold Viange earrings and a side-swept do. 

The black and gold combination is a sure win on the red carpet as we have seen earlier with many celebrity appearances. There couldn’t be a more glamorous mix of colours. Who can forget Naomi Watts' Alexander McQueen at the People’s Choice Awards, Kate Hudson’s Alexander McQueen at the Golden Globes andNicole Kidman’s L’Wren Scott Oscar gown that got them on every best dressed list.

Earlier this month Emmy Rossum donned a 20’s flapper girl fringed gold Naeem Khan dress with black stripe accents, which she paired with Rupert Sanderson sandals and lacquered hair. Vanessa Hudgens shimmered in a Jenny Packham plunging black dress with gold accents some time back at a Golden Globes after party. She carried an eye-catching gold Swarovski clutch.
Back home, our celebs teach us how we can dazzle in black and gold.
The easiest way to max this look is to wear an elegant black and gold sari like Kajol in her Sabyasachi. You can never go wrong with this one!
The other option is to go for a black dress with gold accents like the minimalist Tom Ford dress with a bold gold belt that Kareena Kapoor wore to a recent event.
Gold tops and shirts on black pants also look very attractive as seen on Sridevi and Anushka Sharma.

The combination is a sure-shot way to turn heads at an evening event. Keep the hair and make-up clean. Go for lacquered locks that keep the hair off your face. Experiment with gold accented black footwear and keep accessories and makeup muted to avoid looking like a disco ball.
