The ensemble pairs a voluminous, flared lehenga skirt with an intricately embroidered choli. The blouse stands out with its lace-up back design, featuring crisscross ties and statement tassels that lend a bold, bohemian vibe. Kangana draped a matching printed dupatta over her shoulder, letting the dramatic tassel trim accentuate her Navratri look.
Styling and beauty breakdown
Kangana elevated the outfit with heavy oxidised silver jewellery. She layered chunky necklaces, stacked wide arm cuffs and armlets, and ornate rings, and wore a circular maang tika. Her hair was styled into a sleek braid adorned with delicate hair accessories. For makeup, she opted for dramatic winged eyeliner, a nude lip and subtle facial art dots near her eyes and chin.
How you can take inspiration from Kangana's look
Do not hesitate to mix heritage prints with rich base shades like maroon, rust, and olive. Look for outfits featuring digital prints enhanced with needlework or mirror accents to capture that kitschy, festive vibe. Elevate a classic lehenga by incorporating tie-up lace details, tassel strings, or open-back cuts to add a chic, modern edge to traditional attire.
Skip standard gold or kundan and go bold with silver jewellery. Multi-tiered silver neckpieces, ear cuffs, and arm bracelets immediately add a rustic touch ideal for garba nights. Style your hair in a neat braid or bun and integrate cowrie shells, tassels, or fresh flowers. Add subtle eyeliner dots around the brows or chin to complete a festive look that celebrates Indian heritage with confidence.
