I’ll stop wearing black when they invent a darker colour

Celebrities can carry off almost anything. Some of them are so beautiful and have the perfect bodies, it wouldn’t even matter if they wore something grotesque, they’d still manage to look great. We’ve already seen how they make something as simple as a white tee and denims look good, you’re now about to see how they make our go-to colour, black, look even better! So here are 10 Bollywood celebrities who show us why black really is the perfect colour.

1. Alia Bhatt

In the flavour of the season, Alia Bhatt wore a black crop top with a matching black skirt to an event. That outfit wouldn’t be nearly as good if it was paired with, say maybe, a pink or any other coloured skirt.

2. Parineeti Chopra

In a dark shade of navy blue/almost black jumpsuit, Parineeti Chopra looks more va-va-voom than she’s ever done before. The magic of black!

4. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan could give people a lesson in airport dressing after this look. Black tights with a black coat and black sunnies. Comfy, doesn’t get dirty easily on flight and wait, did I already say comfy?

5. Kareena Kapoor Khan

How do you dress up a plain body con black dress? With a gold waist-belt of course! The exaggerated shoulders and red lips on Kareena Kapoor Khan take the outfit to a whole other level, don’t you think?

6. Sonakshi Sinha

Black gets stylish in the form of Sonakshi Sinha‘s jumpsuit. It’s on trend and so versatile – wear with flats for the day and heels for the night.

7. Deepika Padukone

It’s no big surprise that Deepika Padukone is on this list. In her pearls and black dress with added cut outs, hers trumps Parineeti’s black outfit, and all of a sudden, the va-va-voom is shifted to Deepika.
