Diwali is officially over, and as we deal with post-Diwali blues, we find ourselves eating leftover mithai, dreading going back to work, and scrolling through all the celebrity festive looks. Because hey, the festive season might be over, but we still need to work on our moodboards for the wedding season! And after vehement scrutinisation of all the celebrity Diwali fits, we have come to the conclusion that purple is slowly turning out to be one of the biggest trends of the season.
And no, we’re not talking about any purple (lilacs and lavenders for instance, are not invited to the party!). We’re talking about the super deep, saturated, aubergine purple that totally makes a statement wherever it goes. From Khushi Kapoor’s deep purple fringed lehenga at Manish Malhotra’s Diwali party, to Yami Guatam’s purple Anita Dongre sari and Freida Pinto’s purple Anamika Khanna lehenga at another Diwali party, we have good reason to believe that the colour will dominate this wedding season. Read on to know our picks for the purple outfits to invest in right now.
If you’re the kind of bridesmaid who likes to make an entrance, someone who comes from the more is more school of style, we have just the look for you. This stunning purple sari from House of Masaba has some serious main character energy. With beautiful moon motifs on the pallu, a stunning corset, and exaggerated sleeves on the cape, this sari is as statement as it gets.
This beautiful sharara set from Payal Singhal is perfect for a mehendi this season. It’s a particularly great choice if you’re looking to make a statement minus the hassle. The beautiful embroidery, the backless detail and the tassel galore? Consider us obsessed!
This beautiful lehenga set from Aisha Rao is pretty, elegant, and super chic. We’re particularly loving the off-shoulder neckline and the detail on the band of the skirt. The best part however? It comes with pockets. We’re sold!
If you’re looking for something simple and subdued for an intimate function like haldi, we would suggest opting for this beautiful kurta set with gold embroidery from Begum Pret. While the silhouette and the lack of embroidery is as minimal as it gets, the colour makes sure you make an entrance when you walk in!
There are few garments as pretty as the anarkali. Anarkalis have an almost regal quality to them, even when they come with little to no embroidery. Exhibit A: this beautiful anarakli from Punit Balana, paired with an embroidered koti.
Elevated yet effortless, this beautiful set from Mrunalini Rao comes with an asymmetrical draped skirt and a one-shoulder top. For the bridesmaids who love to keep it comfy!
