Bollywood Stars Redefine Wedding Guest Fashion with Heritage Couture

Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor has set the gold standard for wedding guest fashion, showcasing how to seamlessly blend heritage and modern couture at a Jaipur destination wedding. Her dual-look wardrobe proves that celebrating weddings in style requires more than just one stunning outfit—it demands versatility, elegance, and an understanding of occasion-specific fashion.

Daytime Elegance Meets Rajasthani Heritage

For morning celebrations, Janhvi chose a handwoven burnished ivory saree by Vastra by Palak Savani, adorned with intricate resham and zardozi work. The deep crimson blouse featured traditional embroidered motifs and delicate sequin inlay with handcrafted beadwork. Her styling elevated the look with kundan-polki jewelry, soft kohled eyes, and a classic bindi, creating an authentic Rajasthani royal aesthetic against the backdrop of Aravalli hills.

Evening Glamour with Contemporary Flair

As the sun set, Janhvi transformed into a golden sequin-embellished lehenga by Manish Malhotra. The sculpted silhouette featured a sheer midriff and structured one-shoulder blouse with attached organza drape, perfect for cocktail nights and sangeet stages. Paired with sleek hair, bronzed makeup, and geometric shoulder-duster earrings, this look represents the epitome of modern wedding season drama.

Beyond Janhvi’s looks, Bollywood celebrities like Ananya Panday and Madhuri Dixit are championing the revival of waistcoat cholis—a 2000s favorite being reimagined by designers such as Punit Balana and Anita Dongre. These versatile blouses, featuring ornate embroidery and mirror work, offer enhanced coverage while cinching the waistline beautifully, making them ideal for Mehendi ceremonies and wedding festivities.
