DRESS TO KILL
Think tweed, says fashion designer Agnimitra Paul. It’s chic and will keep you warm too. With the temperature fluctuating, you can play with a hint of sheer as well. A lacy dress or sheer back spells sensuous. If LBD is your choice, accessorise with a difference. Try a chunky earcuff or a retro headband. Plait your hair with a sequinned ribbon. Boys, pair your khaki, brown or black trousers with a printed jacket or a bandhgala in an unusual colour. Sport a Jawahar jacket to beat the chill.
IF NOT PARTYING...
Cosy up with a hot cuppa to catch India’s Got Talent World Stage Live at (Colors, 10pm) featuring SRK and other big-ticket names. The Bolly award season kicks off with Big STAR Entertainment Awards at 8pm on STAR Plus. The star? Salman Khan.
