The Mangalsutra Gets a Sleek Update for the Modern Bride
These are the perfect updates for today’s bride…
Sonakshi Sinha's Bvlgari mangalsutraInstagram
This wedding season, the mangalsutra is having a quiet fashion moment. The Mangalsutra is a sacred thread of marriage, and today it’s fine jewellery styled, layered, and reinterpreted to match how women actually wear love.
It is now worn over crisp shirts, stacked with chains, or turned into minimalist pendants. Brides today are not treating it as a ritual they inherit but as a piece they design to reflect who they are. And a few celebrity brides are showing exactly how to make it your own.

Take Sonakshi Sinha, who went international with her Bvlgari mangalsutra with a sculptural piece in 18-carat rose gold, strung with black beads, onyx, and diamonds. Luxurious, yes, but also sharp, wearable, and very her. Alia Bhatt’s version for her 2022 wedding was simple and symbolic, it was a slim string of black beads holding a solitaire diamond and an infinity pendant.
On the other hand, Radhika Merchant’s butterfly pendant version which she often styles as a bracelet, turns the idea of “bridal jewellery” into something playful and versatile. And Katrina Kaif’s twin-drop diamond Sabyasachi mangalsutra remains the blueprint for a classic, minimal, and undeniably elegant.
For those looking to shop the look, jewellers are reimagining the black bead chain in ways that feel fresh.
