Wedding Guest? Get style inspiration from the Best of Bollywood Stars
Weddings are the ideal occasion to flaunt one’s fashion sense. When done right, your wedding ensemble can make you a trendsetter among your peers, earning you the respect of the most fashionable members of your family. However, with just a few things done wrong, you will end up feeling, not only out of place but extremely uncomfortable. But you know who all never miss a beat in dressing up for wedding celebrations? Our B-town divas. Now though we cannot afford their personal stylists and couturiers, we sure can learn a lesson or two in picking appropriate outfits from them. Let’s look at some of the most popular wedding wardrobe choices for these timeless divas to recreate our own.
Banarasi Lehenga:
Carrying the legacy of the spiritual city of Varanasi, Banarasi fabric is definitely a flawless pick for channeling your fashion tastes on the ethnic ground. The vibrant color, rich texture, intricate woven details in shining zari all converge together in traditional banarasi lehengas to create that sophisticated ethnic look filled with auspicious vibes. Now when wearing a banarasi lehenga, you may want to steer clear from a too traditional look. Go for lighter colors in lehengas or add a contemporary blouse to give your lehenga look a sense of fresh feel so that your overall look can remain alluring for all ages.
Elaborate Gowns:
Indian gowns are some of the most happening wedding wear for celebs and the rest of us alike. These are sure picks to set yourself apart from the group with an extraordinary appeal for fancy. For Indian weddings, it’s recommended to go for gowns that have some elements of traditional artistry. You can pick one with an elaborate stone and sequin glitter effect or one featuring more ethnic motifs. For a more fitting look for a big Indian wedding reception, you can even go the extra mile with embellishments like feathers and ruffles. These will give your look a more contemporary aura.o
Long Kurti Lehenga:
For a more modest yet splendid look, you can always go with a Kurti-style lehenga. This newest take on the traditional lehenga silhouette is not only more glamorous but its fluid silhouette also makes it a better choice for all body types. While picking a Kurti-style lehenga, you’d want to go for one that has more ethnic embellishments all over it in case the wedding is of someone close to you. For others, you can just as easily pick one leaning more towards a modern and less ornate design. That being said, with all those long layers, Kurti style lehengas always make a great pick for winter weddings and less so for summer or spring ones.
Classic Silk Saree:
When it comes to dressing up for an ethnic celebration, be it a festival or a wedding ceremony, nothing can take away the regal and timeless charm of classic woven silk sarees. One of the most graceful outfits for women, sarees are easily an impeccable choice for ladies when they want to nail a simple look with a distinct class for any celebration. And nothing can do the job better than a classic silk saree with fine zari woven motifs featured on the entire length. Among such sarees, traditional ones including Kanchipattu and Banarasi saree are among the top favorites for Bollywood divas of all ages, and we don’t see why it won’t suit you similarly well.
Mirror Lehengas:
For those glam wedding celebrations, where the decor can easily underwhelm your classy saree look, your ideal pick would be a mirror-embellished lehenga. Reflecting all the lit decor around you, a dreamy mirror work lehenga with a gorgeous flare and scintillating details will easily make you look a part of the celebration, and make you look more cheerful all at the same time. Furthermore, these mirrors are foolproof choices for making that insta-worthy twirls at weddings to make your memories of the celebration even more memorable.
Flared Anarkalis:
Modest and regal, Anarkali suits can never fail you in making an august impression. Since historic times, Anarkali has remained synonymous with celebrations. The unique combination of the fluid silhouette and the dreamy flare, make anarkalis a gorgeous pick for ladies of all ages and body types. Furthermore, depending on the occasion at hand, you can easily find an Anarkali that fits its ambiance to a T. For a bright and playful Mehendi celebration to glam and fancy reception party, there is always one Anarkali that will make you look put together effortlessly.
Sharara Sets:
Another pick from historic times and royal courts of Mughals- Sharara suits are as graceful a pick for wedding wear as an Anarkali, albeit more playful. Like Anarkali, a sharara suit will look as flattering on a beautiful lady with curves, as it will on a girl with an athletic body. What more? The relaxed silhouette of sharara suits will give you that effortless flair while also allowing you to comfortably enjoy the celebrations around without a fuss.
Statement Saree:
Another trend that has picked up quite a lot in recent times is that of a statement saree. Sarees being an inevitable part of a wedding wardrobe screams for innovation. Now while styles like lehenga saree and half-and-half saree are great for a more traditional yet distinct look, these do not fit the sill when you really want to nail a rather chic look. This is where statement sarees with all their ruffles, frills, and distinct draping style enter the picture. Such sarees are some of the most happening picks for bridesmaids around the globe, and our B-town celebs' multiple appearances in these are all the proof we need to immediately have them added to our list.
