7 Wedding-worthy Looks to Steal From Rhea Kapoor's Wardrobe

Known for her androgynous sense of style and an unabashed mix & match of traditional weaves with experimental designs, Rhea Kapoor is a millennial trendsetter. Rhea Kapoor ranks in Bollywood’s top fashion stylists and is known for her eclectic sense of style. Perhaps you first noticed her while you gawked at Sonam Kapoor’s Cannes looks and eventually her Instagram feed!

The wedding season will soon make us skimming for ideas on the internet, taking inspiration from our favourite celebrities, and eventually ending up in the much-dreaded dilemma–what should I wear? While repeating outfits is a trend gradually making its way to our hearts but if you are on a lookout to experiment with some new styles this year, take cues from Rhea Kapoor’s ethnic wardrobe that has all kinds of quirky, experimental and tastefully done pieces.

Here are some styles we picked out from her gorgeous Instagram feed for you to take inspiration from! Whether you are the bride-to-be or a bridesmaid on a look-out for new styles, this is all you need.

An offbeat Jumpsuit saree

Get over the 9 yards and pick a stellar jumpsuit saree to wear to your wedding sangeet. An easy-to-wear and easier to style option like this can be made to look all the more stylish by adding a pair of boots and a broad belt cinching at the waist, giving you the needed height.

Jumpsuit sarees need no petticoat, so you can dance away the night while you flaunt your desi swag in an offbeat pick like this. We suggest a French manicure, kohl-lined eyes, and romantic beach waves to channelise the goddess in you.

Off-white Chikankari lehenga 

An off-white Chikankari lehenga with intricate hand-work staple to the rich culture of Lucknow is a classic example of how one can include whites in their ethnic wardrobe. Perfect for millennial brides and bridesmaids, a Chikankari lehenga is a must-have! 

Rhea Kapoor wore this Anamika Khanna lehenga and paired it with beautiful Amrapali jewellery. You can go for a similar style by picking an extensive Chikankari lehenga and pairing it up with a Maang Tikka or a designer jewellery set.

Hand-painted lehenga skirt 

Go for a unique hand-painted lehenga style to give a twist to your ethnic wardrobe. An individualistic print like this one will be a game-changer in your collection. If you remember Kareena Kapoor’s hand-printed organza saree with ‘Bebo’ written on it, you definitely know what we are talking about!

A custom-made lehenga skirt can be done up in so many ways! Rhea Kapoor chose a full-sleeves blouse with a layered necklace. Don’t hesitate to introduce checks and polka dots while trying to experiment with pieces like these. 

An easy-breezy lehenga set with drama sleeves 

Easy breezy traditional styles are the need of the hour. From women opting for styles in chiffon and organza to designers shifting more and more to light-weight aesthetics, soft fold fabrics are here to stay. Pick outfits with organza and sheer like this one. 

The bold rose motifs on sheer organza lehenga skirt and a dreamy off-shoulder blouse with drama sleeves is the kind of style custom made for the modern-day woman. Imagine yourself wearing a similar outfit to your own cocktail! Stunning, isn’t it?

Pastel dhoti with matching lace cape

Heavy bottom divas take notes! A mint dhoti set with matching bustier and a lace cape is the way to go. Pick a flattering silhouette like this, one which sits effortlessly on your waist. A bustier blouse with a deep-set neck and a cape to bring it all together is a handsfree style for the season.

Pick a pair of juttis, an ethnic clutch and a choker or a longer necklace to finish the look.

A gold tissue saree with extensive lace detail

A gold tissue saree with embroidered borders and a matching full sleeves collar neck blouse is a perfect choice for millennial brides. The fabric creates a rich, delicate silhouette while the gold will complement Indian skin tones exceptionally well. 

If you choose to pick a blouse similar to Rhea’s, go for minimal jewellery. A pair of diamond studs will go well along with a nude lip and untied hair.    

Indo-western royal blue saree

Indo-western is the way to go for brides who love to set themselves apart from the crowd. Take cues from the Wear Rheason’s electric blue Indo-western saree with stunning extensive prints. We loved how Rhea Kapoor paired a statement silver neckpiece to add to the overall vibe of this fashion-forward style. 

You can replicate a style just like this by picking a jumpsuit saree. It is more of a coordinated style, so one can experiment with jewellery designs by picking a pair of statement earrings or a necklace.
