Celebrity festive looks are inspiring wedding season moodboards, showcasing traditional crafts and modern trends. From Alia Bhatt's pastel lehenga to Janhvi Kapoor's tiger print, stars are embracing age-old techniques and bold styles. Kareena Kapoor's kaftan and Navya Naveli Nanda's Y2K sharara highlight versatility, making these outfits perfect for upcoming celebrations.
Diwali may be behind us, but we're not quite ready to let go of the festive feels. We still find ourselves revisiting all the celebrity festive looks. After all, the wedding season is just around the corner, and our moodboards aren't going to fill themselves! From animal prints to Y2K revival, we saw quite a few interesting celebrity looks this festive season. Here are the ones that are going on our moodboard for the wedding season.
Alia wore a pastel green custom Aangiwali lehenga with an aangi blouse, a sheer overlay, and gota patti work all over it. We are particularly loving the traditional Rajasthani aangi. This look further reiterates that embracing age-old crafts and sartorial traditions will be big this wedding season.
Speaking of embracing age-old crafts, Sharvari was recently seen wearing this beautiful pink patola sari—and not just any sari, but a family heirloom that belonged to her mother. The sari was restored and reimagined by Itrh, with embroideries like Gota Patti, Dabka and Zardozi, and paired with a Jamdani corset. All hail traditional Indian crafts!
For Jo Malone London’s Diwali party, Khushi Kapoor opted for a purple halter-neck bodycon dress by Arpita Mehta, paired with a skinny dupatta. With thigh-high slits, backless detail, and cutwork, the silhouette is super sexy, while the cutdana and mirror-work embroidery makes it festive. And not to forget, purple is having a moment right now.
And while we’re on the subject of embroidered dresses—Priyanka Chopra opted for a sculpted off-shoulder dress from Torani for her Diwali party. Traditional, festive, yet super cool!
Easily one of the best celebrity looks this Diwali, this Punit Balana look on Kareena Kapoor Khan is totally making it to our moodboard this wedding season. The relaxed (yet exquisite) kaftan, paired with a matching turban and kalgi looks effortlessly stunning. We don’t know about you, but we’re totally taking cue from this look for a haldi this season.
One micro-trend that we see becoming big right now is animal print in Indian occasion wear. Exhibit A: this stunning tiger print lehenga that Janhvi Kapoor wore recently. With a bralette, a fishtail skirt, and no dupatta, the rather minimal silhouette is singlehandedly elevated by the tiger print. We approve!
Y2K fashion is having a moment in Indian ceremonial wear, and we are here for it. Navya Naveli Nanda was seen wearing this deep red halter-neck sharara from AdaByMehar, paired with a skinny dupatta. A classic 2000s look that would look out of place a couple of years ago, but look great right now, thanks to the revival of Y2K.
