There’s something magical about bridal looks that are as traditional as they are groundbreaking. When a bride is valuing her roots, while also breaking the mould. One such look is Kajol’s mehendi outfit from “Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaenge”.

DDLJ is from a time when brides from Punjab usually wore reds or pinks to their wedding, and therefore, when Manish Malhotra, the costume designer for the movie, suggested a bright green outfit, it was seen as an unusual choice at the time. However, when the movie came out, this outfit became an instant hit (much like the movie itself) and is one of the most iconic bridal looks from Bollywood movies today.

If you’re a bride who wants to channel your inner Simran and recreate this beautiful look from the lens of 2025, we’ve got you covered!

While the original outfit would have been worn with classic juttis, this draped skirt is better paired with high heels. Our pick is this beautiful pair of Jimmy Choo’s.

And while all these accessories are important, don’t forget the most important accessory of them all—a Raj by your side!
