No matter your aesthetic, Khushi has something for each kind of bridesmaid!

Khushi Kapoor is gradually gaining the status of the It Girl of Bollywood. She found her fashion voice pretty early on and is now following it consistently. Remember when she attended the Dior Fall 2023 show? That look is indicative of her strong understanding of her personal style and executing it well. While we feel that that aesthetic is her strong suit, her desi fashion isn’t too bad either. Here’s looking back at five of her desi looks that bridesmaids can take some major inspiration from.

For Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding festivities, Khushi Kapoor paid homage to her South Indian roots in this Manish Malhotra sari. She styled it with a gajra in her hair, a small bindi, and traditional jewellery including a kamarbandh. Dear bridesmaids-to-be, bookmark this look if you would like to have a classic traditional approach to your bridesmaids outfit.

This Anita Dongre look on Khushi Kapoor remains stunning to this day. This outfit is somehow both elaborate and effortless. It features a beautiful skirt with multiple panels of fabric in different lengths and prints. She wore this for Anatara Mawrah’s baby shower. You can go for a similar look and add some nice jewellery and accessories to make it bridesmaid-appropriate, and there you have it—a delicate, effortless look for bridesmaids who feel less is more.

Dear maximalist girlies, don’t think we forgot about you. For the much-talked-about Neeta Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) launch event last year, Khushi wore this super elaborate Falguni Shane Peacock outfit. From the stunning top with a beautiful neckline and tulle drape to the intricately embroidered column skirt, there is so much to love. Dear bridesmaids-to-be, this is your sign to skip a traditional A-line lehenga and go for a column skirt this season.

If hyper-feminine is your aesthetic, then Khushi Kapoor has a lot of inspiration to offer. Case in point: this look. For one of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding festivities, Khushi wore this intricate, super glam Tarun Tahiliani outfit. She has given it an elegant, hyper-feminine vibe with her minimal jewellery, delicate updo and her dainty heart-shaped bag. Take notes, girls.

Embracing the Barbiecore trend, Khushi Kapoor wore this hot pink Manish Malhotra saree with an off-shoulder blouse for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s Sangeet ceremony. She styled it with half up half down hair and minimal jewellery. Dear women, you do not have to look at colour trends to unapologetically wear lots of pink at any given point. And sequin saris do not seem to be going out of trend any time soon, so it’s safe to say that you can still rock one as a bridesmaid.
