Sonam Kapoor to Janhvi Kapoor: Celeb-inspired contrasting lehenga-choli combinations for the stylish 'Dulhe Ki Behen'

For Indian weddings, the combination of lehenga-choli with a stunning dupatta has long been a staple. Every year, new trends take over the traditional wedding market, where textures, colours, and fabrics change, but some aesthetics always openly rule the game. In today’s chapter of wedding fashion, we’ll be putting the spotlight on the stylish 'dulhe ki behen'. We do love and embrace the monochrome lehenga settings, but none can match the evergreen prowess of colour blocking. So, here are 5 statement-worthy contrasting lehenga-choli colour combinations inspired by Bollywood actresses.

Aditi Rao Hydari’s ethnic numbers have a separate fan following. She proves that royalty is in her blood, as she graciously carries every ethnic piece, which definitely finds a place in every girl’s moodboard. The diva wore a gorgeous Abhinav Mishra lehenga, picked from his ‘PhirozaByAbhinavMishra’ collection. Radiating glam like none other, she wore a pink embroidered lehenga skirt with silver embellished detailing and teamed it with a contrasting white and silver blouse featuring embroidered neck and sleeves.

The partnership of Sonam Kapoor with Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla always brings magic, and this look is just another proof of it. Sonam is wearing a 20-panel multi-coloured lehenga, with each panel having different embroidery next to it. This piece of art should be placed in a museum. Allowing the lehenga skirt to be the highlight of her outfit, she matched its prowess with a golden corset-like fitted blouse and completed this royal look with a sheer ivory and silver-gold tissue dupatta.

If you wish to carry a lightweight and breezy ethnic affair this wedding season, then this lehenga of Alia Bhatt by Anita Dongre should be in your shopping cart. Back in 2019, Alia wore a seafoam blue lehenga skirt with intricate silver embroidery and teamed it with a pastel yellow strappy blouse. Tying the two was her matching dupatta that featured silver foil print and instantly uplifted the whole look, making her the most beautiful bridesmaid in her friend’s bridal squad.

When it comes to wedding or festive dressing, none can match the prowess of Janhvi Kapoor, as the diva has only one option, and that is to slay. Playing muse to Anita Dongre, she opted for a printed turquoise green lehenga with a striking red hemline, which matched the plunging neckline of the printed red blouse with subtle embellishment. Perfect for the wedding hour, Janhvi, however, ditched the dupatta and completed the show with beautiful jhumkis, adding an ideal desi touch.
