Embroidered kurtas, anarkalis, sharara sets or silk saris?
The countdown is officially on: Diwali, one of the most celebrated festivals in the country is quickly approaching. While the celebrations certainly look different this year, why not plan ahead and ace the sartorial game? Whether you’re hosting an intimate Diwali dinner or heading out to your friend’s house for a cards party or have to attend a puja, you wouldn’t want to miss the chance of dressing up in festive wear. In search of some serious sartorial inspiration? Take your cues from Mira Rajput Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor and other Bollywood celebrities and their recent Indian wear looks.
Diwali calls for bright hues, if you love six yard drapes a sexy number like Janhvi Kapoor’s Arpita Mehta is a great option. If you don’t mind dipping your toe in sequins then a high-shine pick like Katrina Kaif will help you steal the spotlight. If you prefer contemporary ensembles in bright shades, a brocade sari like Malaika Arora’s Raw Mango number is sure to win your favour. Those looking to swap the embellished ensembles with something lighter can turn to Karisma Kapoor’s kurta and salwar set for the ultimate inspiration. Those keen to party in comfort can rely on Mira Rajput Kapoor's anarkali and jacket set by Punit Balana.
Voluminous shararas always make for a winning festive look. If you're looking for a dramatic look, invest in Manish Malhotra's silk numbers from his latest collection ‘Ruhaaniyat’. Those who want something a little light weight and breezy can check out Ridhi Mehra's peplum top and organza palazzo pants set. Brocade saris seem to be a favourite this season. Why not add Kshitij Jalori's green number to your closet? Scroll down to pick from out edit.
