Sonam Kapoor’s Sabyasachi glam

Radiating a divine energy in this red and gold Sabyasachi ethnic piece, Sonam Kapoor maintains the title of ‘the ultimate Bollywood fashionista’ and has been winning hearts for two decades. For the 2023 Durga Puja celebrations, she grabbed eyeballs in a ravishing red and gold flared Anarkali kurta featuring a broad zari border work and teamed it with a matching pair of red pyjamas with a heavy-work dupatta. Decorated with fine gold zari work on the base of red, she completed this ethnic flair with a statement golden choker necklace and traditional dangler earrings.

Kareena Kapoor Khan dripping royalty in red

Looking every inch regal in this stunning red salwar-kameez set for Ganapati celebrations last year, she dripped royalty in a plain red full-sleeves kurta with gold drizzles around the border, picked from the shelves of couturier Sabyasachi. Complementing it with a pair of red churidar pants, her heavy zari-embroidered gold-red dupatta combo was the ultimate deal breaker. Completing the look with chunky chandelier earrings, she opted for a clean-girl makeup aesthetic and shone at the moment.

Deepika Padukone’s regal Banarasi dupatta show

A perfect pick for all the new brides in town, Deepika instantly amped up a plain beige kurta set with a stunning Banarasi dupatta, which is indeed a Pinterest-worthy save. For her first public appearance as a newlywed in town, she chose a loose-fitted, calf-length, plain ivory kurta set from Sabyasachi and completed the charm with a bright red Banarasi dupatta with golden floral motifs and an intricate designer border. Its versatility lies in the fact that one can style this plain kurta set with other dupattas in the future and can also amp up your favourite lehenga dupatta with this fit too.

Kangana Ranaut’s graceful salwar-suit combo

Choosing an unconventional yet chic colour combination, Kangana Ranaut proves she can carry any and everything with utmost grace and elegance. Serving a perfect festive look, she opted for a royal blue plain straight-fit kurta set with broad border detailing and teamed it with a contrasting mehendi-green colour dupatta with intricate sequins and a sleek embroidered border that matched the hemline of her kurta. Teaming it with statement dangling earrings and a matching maang-tika, she showed who’s the ultimate fashion ‘queen’ of Bollywood.
