Movie-inspired outfits to wear to your bestie’s wedding!
From Naina in 'Kal Ho Na Ho' to Naina in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'—we got your outfit fix right here.
Let’s face it—we’re all influenced and inspired by movies, whether it’s wearing the ‘COOL’ chain like Rahul from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or mimicking Kajol’s “I don’t like you”. And when it comes to the big fat Indian wedding, what better place to seek inspiration than Bollywood? Vibrant lehengas, larger-than-life sets, and ever-dramatic songs, the movies represent every fairy-tale-esque fantasy of the modern Indian couple. They have it all—the destination wedding, colour coordinated outfits, grand entrances, choreographed dances, cocktail parties that last till the sun rises, best friend speeches, and more. With wedding season now being an all-year-round soiree, the outfits just aren’t enough. So, we made it easier for you. Here are some iconic outfits from movies that you can wear to the next wedding you attend.
Poo’s Bole Chudiyan Outfit from K3G
Need we say more? We’d definitely rate this pastel pink, sparkly lehenga a 9/10. Get it?
Naina from Kal Ho Na Ho
I was five-years-old when I first watched Kal Ho Na Ho and I fell in love with the light blue lehenga that Preity Zinta wore during the song 'Maahi Ve'. She was a vision in blue—and there couldn’t be a more perfect outfit to wear for an outdoor, day-time mehendi ceremony.
Geet from Jab We Met
This vibrant, pink and green Punjabi suit is ideal for a mehendi or sangeet ceremony, where you’ll be spending much of your time dancing your heart out!
Shanaya from Student of the Year
Cue: 'Radha on the dance floor, Radha likes to party, Radha likes to move that desi Radha body'”. To all those Radhas out there—here’s your chance to put on that fuschia pink blouse and silver lehenga and serve up some looks at you bestie’s cocktail party.
Naina’s Mehendi outfit from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
No one did orange and pink like Deepika Padukone in the film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, especially that sleeveless, tube blouse and flowy lehenga. This outfit will definitely be a head-turner wherever you go.
Naina’s Cocktail party blue sari
Who doesn’t remember this iconic blue and black sari from the song, Badtameez Dil? Make sure to let your hair down, and pair this sari with your best black stilettos to steal the show away. Trust us, nobody will look better.
Neha’s golden sari from Dostana
We were all awe-struck when the OG desi girl, Priyanka Chopra stunned in this golden sari, that would be perfect to wear for a sangeet, cocktail party, mehendi or even the wedding ceremony. Pair it was some simple earrings, sparkly makeup and complete the look with some comfortable shoes (to dance).
Kalindi Puri’s weddings fits from Veere Di Wedding
From the mirror-embellished lehenga that she wears at the end of the movie to the bright yellow one she stuns in during the haldi—take your pick from every ethnic ensemble worn by Kareena Kapoor in the film Veere Di Wedding.
