Get The Look: Nandini's Blue Lehenga In “Nimbooda Nimbooda”
Nandini's outfits had us in a chokehold, why lie?

There are a bunch of thoughts that inevitably cross our mind every time we rewatch Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam—like how good Salman and Aishwarya looked together, how someone can make a full blown song out of lemons, why (spoiler alert) Nandini wasted everybody’s time if she had to pick Vanraj over Sameer in the end, and so on. One such thought is how incredible Nandini looked in each frame. Of course, it helps that it was played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! While taking important decisions might not be Nandini's strong suit, one thing she did better than everyone else was serve looks. Whether it is her lilac lehenga in the song Chand Chupa Badal Mein, or her peach lehenga in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, Nandini sure knew how to be the best dressed person in every room. Another one of our favourite looks from Nandini? Her acqua blue lehenga in the iconic song "Nimbooda Nimbooda". If you too, love this look, we suggest you take some inspiration from it this wedding season. Here's how you can recreate it.

Here's How You Can Recreate Nandini's Look From "Nimbooda Nimbooda"

Aishwarya originally wore a bright blue lehenga designed by Neeta Lulla. You can opt for this stunning mirror-work lehenga from Abhinav Mishra!

Being the maximalist that she is, Nandini chose to layer her necklaces. She wore a beautiful choker, along with another necklace, both in gold tone. We suggest this beautiful choker from Hazoorilal Legacy.

And for the second necklace, you can opt for this big polki necklace from Indriya.

Nandini wore a statement two-finger ring on her left hand. We suggest this polki ring from G.K. Chudiwalas with a pop of green.

For the earrings, Nandini went with a beautiful pair of gold earrings with a chain. Our pick is this stunning pair from Tribe Amrapali.

A headgear is what truly makes or breaks (makes, in Nandini's case) a look. Nandini isn't one to do dianty jewellery, and she reiterates it by opting for a super chunky, broad maangtikka. You can opt for this maangtikka from Amaris.

Best believe even Nandini's shoes would have the most exquisite, over-the-top embroidery on them, whether or not they are visible under her massive lehenga. We feel this pair of pumps from Aprajita Toor is super Nandini coded!

When you have to perform a full-blown dance routine like Nandini, you can not be bothered by having to carry a bag. But if you want to do a bag (you know, because a girl has stuff to carry), you can go for this gold mirror-work potli bag from Needledust.
Throw on some matching glass bangles, wear your hair in a top bun, go for clean, dewy makeup with a red lip, and you're good to go!
