There are many style factors in this look already.

Single streak of colour

Forget the multi-coloured streaks or different tones for a while. Dig into a single colour whether it is fuchsia pink, indigo blue or turmeric yellow (or maybe an interesting neon shade). Ditch the pastels and neutral tones, as strong single colours are in trend now. You can add some colourful zing to your saree with that delicate border; just like Deepika has champagne sequins work on hers.

Style your choli

Add a fresh spin to this traditional wear by going for interesting blouses style. Deepika's bikini blouse in colour black, breaks the monotony of blue beautifully. She sports a deep-cut back, with a blue strip going all the way around. You can also go for a net back (instead of a low-cut), if you wish to hide the flabs on your back. You can team up your sarees with corset, halters and spaghetti style blouses, depending on your body-type. 

Simply Jewelled

Deepika keeps her jewellery minimalistic, sticking to safe and elegant ruby red danglers. However, you can make a choice of earrings and a sleek necklace or a statement pedant. You can even carry a potli in your hand. Your accessories will completely depend on the occasion you are dressing up for.
