SIMPLY KURTAS-TIC
Nothing can beat a classic kurta set to kickstart the celebrations. Over the years, the kurta has seen an array of changes in its cut and flow. From straight fitted silhouettes to relaxed fits paired with palazzos, the kurta will always be a staple in festive wear. The ladies of the Kapoor clan – Neetu Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan, know how to carry off classic styles with elan.

For those who love pastel, then Kareena Kapoor Khan’s turquoise blue chanderi kurta set is the perfect look for Janmashtami. The sequin and zari detailing adds a shimmery touch to this pastel ensemble. Paired with a shantoon palazzo with zari lace details, the set by Devnaagri also features an embroidered scallop organza dupatta.
LOVE THEY LEHENGA
What’s a festival without a little wardrobe drama, right? Gift yourself a lehenga that celebrates you and your love for making a grand entrance. Flowy skirts highlighted with prints to mirror work embossed on bright hues, give the contemporary lehenga style a try this festive season. Madhuri Dixit Nene’s bright coloured embroidered georgette lehenga by Tamanna Punjabi Kapoor comes with intricate mirror work and a delicate cape.
Sara Ali Khan’s lehenga set by Mayyur Girotra celebrates cultural motifs weaved with myriad colours. The luscious silhouette reinterprets sartorial grandeur and makes for a fun and chic evening wear. The elaborate motifs and the thread work detailing adds a festive cheer to the ensemble.
