Kiara Advani’s easy lehengas
A lehenga might seem like a heavy-duty option for intimate celebrations or smaller festive parties, but nothing beats the charm of the classic skirt set. Instead, do like Kiara Advani and go for a minimally-embellished ensemble in white, which she styled with a bright yellow leheriya dupatta. While the muted tones and subtle texture of the lehenga set keep it looking lightweight, the printed stole adds the perfect amount of festive appeal to the look. Complete with a single statement choker, Advani shows you how to make an impact with minimum effort.

Go monochrome like Deepika Padukone
If there’s anything to take away from Deepika Padukone’s wardrobe, it would be her love for a good old monochrome look. While her off-duty wardrobe is filled with pastels and neutrals, the star’s festive side makes a case for bright hues. Take note of how Padukone’s otherwise-basic straight kurta and churidaar set stands out for its eye-catching sunshine yellow tone. The head-to-toe mustard look was offset with statement blue stone earrings and a muted makeup look, which would be ideal for any puja in the upcoming months.
