Khushi Kapoor Hops On The Fishtail Lehenga Hype Train. Stylish? Yes!

Khushi Kapoor is someone who found her fashion identity pretty early on. She has a strong understanding of her personal style, and consistently follows it. She also happens to be someone who dictates trends quite often and her Instagram is proof of that. For a recent appearance, she was seen wearing a pastel-hued green fishtail lehenga by Manish Malhotra. It was pretty—with 3D embroidery all over it along with tiny pink flowers. The fishtail skirt was paired with a body-hugging full-sleeved blouse, and everyone’s current favourite, a skinny dupatta! She completed the look with a quirky bag in the shape of a hot-air balloon. 

While this look embodies a bunch of the hottest trends of the season, from eccentric bags to a skinny dupatta, we are crushing over the fishtail silhouette. Not only is the fishtail lehenga a celebrity favourite, but it was also big on the runways of late. If the India Couture Week is anything to go by, fishtail lehengas will be everywhere this wedding season. From Rimzim Dadu and Dolly J to Falguni Shane Peacock and Arpita Mehta, a bunch of designers showcased these fishtail lehengas at the ICW 2026.

Celebrities Who Have Embraced The Fishtail Silhouette In Style

Janhvi Kapoor opted for a fishtail lehenga covered in lace and Swarovski, paired with a cut-work blouse and a skinny dupatta. She completed the look with an elegant updo, dainty jewellery, and a mini top-handle bag, giving it an Indian princess-esque vibe.

Like it heavier? Take a cue from Malaika Arora, and go all out on glam, with metallic embellishments, a sexy asymmetrical blouse, and soft waves.

A fishtail lehenga paired with a bandeau blouse and a skinny dupatta is as sexy as it gets! Exhibit A: this Manish Malhotra look on Shanaya Kapoor. 

Trisha Krishnan’s fishtail skirt had floral embroidery all over it, which was paired with a matching corseted bodice. She carried the dupatta on her shoulders, which made it look like a cape. 

You can go for a fishtail lehenga, or you can even opt for a concept sari with a fishtail skirt, like Nushrratt Bharuccha. It’s technically a lehenga, but the bejewelled strings draped across her shoulder makes it look like a sari.
