Let Shraddha Kapoor Inspire You To Paint The Town Red This Wedding Season
The actress’ method dressing for the promotional run of ‘Stree 2’ has us rushing to go head-to-toe red…
The hugely successful horror-comedy Stree 2 might have given us an entertaining way to spend the weekend but it also gave us Shraddha Kapoor’s version of the Lady in Red. The actress and her style team hopped on the method dressing hype train and channelled her character’s mysterious red energy in stunning outfits in the alluring hue.
While reds are a no-brainer for weddings, for brides or baraatis, it has been overtaken by pastels and other jewel tones over the past few years. The fiery hue is making its big comeback to wedding season colour palettes, as evidenced by the collections showcased on the runway at the Hyundai India Couture Week this year.
Shraddha Kapoor’s red run these past few weeks is just in time to inspire us to dig out the reds from our wardrobes (or invest in some fresh-off-the-runway looks), and stand out in style this wedding season.
Here are a few of our favourite recent red looks by the actress, be ready to take notes!
