One fashion miss that you can afford when it comes to shine is this one. The Padmavati actor chose to go for a metallic sheen pantsuit with a plunging neckline.

If you're looking for a clear winner with metallics, you can choose to go golden like Karisma Kapoor. In a chic metallic sheen dress in golden from the house of Rajat Tangri, the actor was soigne`. We love the metal embellishments on the actor’s outfit, which added a dash of chic to the monotone dress and nicely balanced the vibrant hue of the dress.(Source: therealkarismakapoor/ Instagram)

Esha Gupta is no stranger to glamour and she proves it in this glitzy gown with metal embellishments. In a thigh-high slit number with sheer detail from the house of Manish Malhotra, the actor looked stunning. Her beachy waves rounded out her outfit really well. (Source: egupta/ Instagram)

Malaika Arora pulled off a spacesuit-inspired look in a metallic dress from Pilar Del campo and we think she looked every inch the space-girl she was aiming to be. A round of applause for stylist Maneka Harisinghani for keeping the sheen of the all-metallic dress balanced out with minimal accessories. A ring by Swarovski and a chic bracelet from Shaheen Abbas Fine Jewellery complemented her attire. This is one look that you can easily curate.(Source: manekaharisinghani/ Instagram)

It may not be the first time for Malaika Arora, but the 44-year-old made her fans go weak in their knees when she stepped out in a breathtaking silver metallic gown. The thigh-high slit gown, designed by Amit Aggarwal, will steal your heart and you’ll want to wear it to the next ball you’re attending. To accent the look, she opted for grey pumps and left her layered soft curls on one side to give a retro feel. We think her styling was simply perfect, with smokey eyes and a dark pink lip shade. She complemented the dress with long silver danglers.(Source: malaikaarorakhanofficial)

Samantha Ruth Prabhu wore an embellished gold crop top from the house of Amit Aggarwal with an extravagant floral design at the hem along with a pleated metallic skirt.
