It's that time of the year again. Yes, Diwali is almost upon us, which means lights, crackers, sweets and of course gorgeous traditional clothes.

This time, we take a closer look at the ghagra choli or more specifically, fashionale cholis worn by some of the hottest women in Bollywood. So if you're thinking of wearing one this Diwali, why not cop their look? Here are a few examples.

Oomph overload

First things first, you need a hot bod like Mallika Sherawat to pull this off.

Secondly, you need her bold attitude to handle the glances that are sure going to come your way.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan gives you two options -- a multi-coloured printed expertly cut choli, or this traditional choli tied up with strings.

Priyanka Chopra looks divine as her simple choli gets a glittering makeover.

If embellishments are not your cup of tea, why not opt for this simple and snug piece ala Preity Zinta?

This is not for the faint-hearted. Wear this bikini-inspired top only if you have Mandira Bedi's chutzpa.

If kitsch is more up your alley, then take a leaf out of Shilpa Shetty's fashion book.

On anyone else this multi-coloured choli might have looked tacky. Katrina Kaif, however, makes it work.

Dabangg's Munni look is perfect for the dance floor. Just be sure you have Malaika Arora Khan's toned arms while you're at it.

Kareena Kapoor manages to look hot and demure at the some by teaming a plunging neckline with half sleeves.

Want a retro look? Then why not try Deepika Padukone's 70s inspired anarkali look?
