Rashmika Mandanna

Looking for stunning saree fashion inspiration? Rashmika Mandanna has you covered in a chocolate-brown saree featuring a golden zari border and sequin embellishments, paired with a heavily embellished golden blouse. She draped the pallu traditionally, letting it fall gracefully over her shoulder. Styled with statement earrings and bangles, she looked effortlessly glamorous.

Jacqueline Fernandez

Aditi Rao Hydari

Aditi Rao Hydari radiates timeless royalty in a jet-black lehenga featuring subtle gold motifs and a heavily embroidered zardozi dupatta with shimmering tassels. Styled with a sleek crew-neck blouse, statement emerald drop earrings, and a neat low bun, the look blends minimalistic modern elegance with classic regal grandeur.

Shanaya Kapoor

Shanaya Kapoor brings a vintage regal charm to life in an antique gold and royal purple Anarkali ensemble. The sheer gold kurti, embellished with intricate threadwork around the neckline and sleeves, features a crushed metallic gold flared hem lined with deep purple and gold brocade borders. Paired with purple churidar pants, a draped gold dupatta, stacked bangles, and oversized traditional chandbalis, her half-up, half-down hairstyle completes this graceful, classic look.

Kriti Sanon

Kriti Sanon showcases a striking fusion of traditional art and bohemian chic in a bronze-gold short kurti paired with deep purple pants. The highlight of her ensemble is the vibrant, multi-colored Patola-print dupatta, trimmed with intricate circular mirror-work borders and cowrie shell fringe along the hem. She completes the opulent look with a ruby-and-emerald-studded choker and a metallic, embellished clutch.

Sara Alia Khan

Sara Ali Khan dazzles in a royal blue and deep purple Bandhani lehenga set that blends traditional textile art with a chic, modern silhouette. The ensemble features a sleeveless halter-neck crop top heavily detailed with mirror-work embroidery, paired with a rich panelled lehenga and a draped dupatta trimmed with metallic fringe. Sleekly pulled-back hair in a neat bun, understated makeup, and stacked bangles complete this vibrant, festive statement.

Ranveer Singh

Ranveer Singh makes a bold, festive statement in a striking magenta silk kurta paired with a matching gold brocade Nehru jacket. He anchors the vivid top half with crisp white tailored trousers and dark dress shoes. Adding his signature swagger, he finishes the look with retro yellow-tinted sunglasses, diamond stud earrings, and a well-groomed beard and slicked-back hairstyle.
