In the world of art and fashion, different motifs have their own unique symbolism. Rarely do we see a motif that doesn’t have a profound meaning behind it, serving purely an aesthetic purpose only. For example, the lotus motif symbolises purity, paisley symbolises fertility and abundance, the elephant motif symbolises strength and wisdom, the tree of life motif symbolises the interconnectedness of life.
Another breathtakingly beautiful motif that has a lovely meaning behind it is the moon. In astrology, the sun symbolises masculine energy, and the moon represents feminine energy. Similarly, the moon motif symbolises femininity and mystique. Not to forget, this motif adds a touch of quiet elegance to any piece of garment that adorns it.
Recently, Ananya Panday was seen wearing a beautiful pink kurta from Aikeyah, which had the moon motifs embroidered on it.
Shortly after, she was seen in another look with the moon motif, this time with a lehenga set from Re-ceremonial. The outfit was paired with haathphool with little moon motifs on them, and a moon bindi.
While all these looks on Ananya featuring moons might have been method dressing for the promotions of her upcoming movie “Chand Mera Dil”, we can’t help but wonder if it’ll set a micro-trend for the wedding season.
For the IT girls of Bollywood, after all, Moon has played an integral part in ceremonial looks in recent years; most notable one being when Aditi Rao Hydari opted for alta with moon motifs for her wedding.

Masaba Gupta also incorporated the moon motif in her wedding look, in the form of hair accents. She wore Chaand Sitaara hair pins from the homegrown jewellery brand Anatina.

Sonam Kapoor also chose to incorporate moon in one of her looks in the coolest way ever. She wore tiny stickers of the the different phases of moon on her neck. These moons from the brand Surmeyi, were styled with a pastel green outfit from Punit Balana.
