Everyone is Stacking their Bangles Now

This festive season belongs to statement-making wrists. From diamond-flecked gold bangles to stacks of silver, enamel and even wood, the bangle stack is emerging as the standout accessory. 

Stacking jewellery has always been part of Indian culture, from glass bangles clinking together during weddings or gold kadas passed down as heirlooms. Still, in 2025, it has taken on a more maximalist, fashion-forward edge. 

From Tamannaah Bhatia’s six-layered gold and diamond stack to Kareena Kapoor Khan’s favourite sleek gold bangles for both festive wear and off-duty looks, while Bhumi Pednekar and Kajol have shown how wooden and silver stacks can feel just as impactful. The message is pretty clear: this season, the wrist is the new focal point, and stacking is the easiest way to make a festive outfit feel current.

Celebrity Stacks to Inspire Your Festive Jewellery Look

Tamannaah Bhatia

Tamannaah has become one of the most reliable names for jewellery inspiration. Earlier this year, she posted a close-up of her wrist featuring six bracelets stacked together. The line-up included a mix of gold-and-diamond pieces, a solid gold band, a Swarovski-studded bracelet and a turquoise enamel design with diamond detailing. The stack was varied but balanced, showing how mixing textures and colours can make the look feel deliberate rather than overdone. For anyone trying the trend, pairing one standout piece with simpler layers can achieve a similar effect for festive outfits or everyday wear.

Kareena Kapoor Khan

Kareena’s bangle game has always been strong, and one of the most memorable examples came in the song Halkat Jawani from Heroine. Dressed in Manish Malhotra’s colourful costumes, Khan’s looks featured stacks of bright metallic bangles in neon shades of green, pink, gold and silver.

She often wears four or five slim gold bangles paired with small studs or hoops. The look works equally well with a festive sharara or her casual kaftans. The key is to keep the rest of the jewellery minimal so that the stack remains the focus.

Kajol

Kajol demonstrates how silver bangles can be styled beyond traditional wear. In a black blazer, she was spotted wearing a stack of chunky silver bangles and bracelets paired with silver earrings, a stack of rings, and ear cuffs. The look shows how silver stacks can easily move from festive occasions to modern, everyday outfits. 

Bhumi Pednekar

Bhumi’s stack stands out with chunky wooden bangles that add depth and texture to her look. At a time when gold and silver dominate, her earthy stack felt refreshing. Wooden or coloured lacquer bangles can be an easy way to bring variety to their own styling.

Madhuri Dixit

Madhuri often turns to mixed-metal stacks, combining gold and silver to create a layered, vintage-inspired look. Her choices reflect her performing background, where jewellery that moves and catches the light becomes part of the overall effect. For those looking to try this style, mixing two metals in a neat, symmetrical stack can help achieve the same timeless result.

Shraddha Kapoor

Shraddha keeps the trend youthful and easy. She favours chunky metallic bangles worn in bold stacks, usually paired with light, breezy ethnic silhouettes. The look is simple to replicate: start with a few wider bangles in the same metal and layer them together paired with boho mirror work accessories. It is approachable, fun and works well for events like Diwali parties where you want statement jewellery without the fuss of heavy pieces.
