Black and gold is a timeless combination and one can’t go
wrong with these colours. A beautiful combo for cocktails and reception, looks
wow on both western as well as Indian wear. So to attend a wedding reception at my in law’s
side of the family I chose a black net anarkali with accents of velvet since
that is the most in winter fabric for weddings. Of course, timeless gota patti
work on it and an antique gold stole adding the bling and glitter. The best
part was the kalamkari fabric beneath the net adding a very classy touch to it.
For makeup I went with a MAC gold eye shadow and a black eye
liner by Bourjois, a coat of black mascara by Bad Girl from Sephora. Although
most colours go with black but since the eyes were subtle in gold, went in for
a red lipstick Hollywood Red by Bobbi Brown. And not to forget the bronze shade
waves blush from The Body Shop.
Hair was all curled up with tongs from a neighbourhood
salon. The look is opulent at the same time elegant and not overtly flashy. So
what are you waiting for, for your next night out or a cocktail go for black
and gold!
