Your celebrity guide to mastering tone-on-tone fashion

Monochrome fashion has proved time and time again that it's not a one-hot-minute trend. It’s been in for a while now but that’s not surprising considering the lazy-girl aesthetic it leads to. All roads through this fashion strategy lead directly to the I've-made-an-effort-yet-this-is-effortless look that you can mould and sculpt to suit your preferences and occasions.

No one can deny that there is something so soothing about an outfit that belongs entirely to the same colour family, differing only slightly in shades, prints and textures. Not a trend that you can go wrong with easily, there are a few rules you can follow while playing the tone-on-tone game. Don’t fret though, you don’t need to be a celebrated fashion stylist to know them all. You can draw all the inspo from these celebrity magical monochrome moments. Start scrolling! 

Alia Bhatt 
 

Alia Bhatt’s easy-breezy maternity fashion has been like a style guide for us all. In fact, her most recent look, an oversized black shirt paired with black cargo pants styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania, is a masterclass in minimalistic monochrome fashion. It’s giving us an off-duty casual-chic vibe which we love. 

Kiara Advani 
 

Embracing the baby blues, Kiara Advani took to Instagram to share a picture of her donning a studded, zip-up corset and matching flared pants by designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil. She finished the look with a pair of diamond earrings and loose, wavy hair. If you’re looking for ‘night on the town’ outfit inspiration, look no further. 

Sara Ali Khan 

For the 2022 IIFA press conference in Dubai, Sara Ali Khan opted for a vibrant red-hued mini dress with a matching cropped jacket from the RSR by Rahul Riti Shah collection. The entire outfit featured white triangular lacework which added some drama and depth. Of course, the oversized lapels and matching heels helped.

Kareena Kapoor 

Earlier this year, Kareena Kapoor Khan caused heads to turn at the United Nations Young Changemakers Conclave. For the occasion, she chose a black-on-black formfitting jumpsuit from the iconic fashion house, Hervé Leger. Now, this is an outfit no one will forget! 

Deepika Padukone 

Deepika Padukone served up look after look at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. However, this solid coloured orange gown from Ashi Studio stood out from the crowd. Inspired by architectural structures, this custom outfit is OTT in the best ways. Yes, we’re talking about the way it billows in the wind, creating a picture-perfect moment. 

Malaika Arora 

Malaika Arora’s pink-hued skirt and high-collared cropped shirt from Alice McCall are giving us Barbiecore meets Legally Blonde vibes and we’re all for it. The fashion and fitness guru sealed the outfit with minimalistic jewellery and toe-point stilettos of the same colour. 

Sonam Kapoor 

Pyjama sets are definitely having a well-deserved moment in the sun. They are the perfect blend of comfortable yet luxe. Sonam Kapoor’s peach-on-peach outfit by Jil Sander is the perfect example of how you can style a monochrome co-ord set.  

Ananya Panday  

Ananya Panday’s three-piece neutral-coloured monochromatic set from Studio Amelia is business-chic at its best.
