Alright folks, Durga Puja is around the corner, and if you’re still staring at your closet thinking, “What the heck am I going to wear?” let Janhvi Kapoor do the thinking for you. This girl is out here slaying saree looks like nobody’s business. And trust me, after seeing these, you might want to throw your jeans out the window and embrace the 9-yard drape for your next Zoom call (who needs pants, right?).
Let’s break down her top 3 saree looks that’ll make your aunties jealous and your friends ask, “Where did you buy that?!”
1. Golden Kanjeevaram: Because Basic is for Quitters
First up, we have Janhvi in a gold Kanjeevaram saree by the one and only Manish Malhotra. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Gold? Won’t I look like a shiny foil wrapper?” NOPE! If done right (like Janhvi here), you’ll look like the rich, fabulous goddess you truly are. And who doesn’t want to radiate “I’m worth more than your salary” vibes?
This saree is the definition of extra – and we LOVE extra. It’s got traditional silk, a killer border, and enough sparkle to blind anyone who’s been hating on your fashion sense. Throw in some Shriparamani Jewels jhumkas and a ring, and bam! You’re an Insta reel waiting to happen.
Also, shoutout to Savleen Manchanda for that soft gold makeup look. Gold on gold? Yes, please. If you’re feeling this for Ashtami or Navami, just remember to practice your smize because you’re gonna need it when all eyes are on you.
2. Pretty in Pink: Nachiket Barve Wants You to Stop Being a Basic Babe
Alright, next up we’ve got Janhvi in a pink saree by Nachiket Barve, and honestly, this one’s perfect if you want to look like a literal flower in a garden of weeds (aka everyone else at Durga Puja).
The pink is soft, sweet, and has major “I woke up like this” vibes. The embroidered blouse is where it’s at – like, how does she make even floral motifs look edgy? Answer: She’s Janhvi Kapoor, that’s how.
And let’s talk about accessories – she kept it minimal with Amaris by Prerna Rajpal earrings because why drown in jewelry when you’re already drowning in compliments? This look is perfect for daytime Durga Puja events when you want to serve lewks without going full-blown Bollywood diva.
Oh, and shoutout to Savleen again for the makeup. This pink look paired with dewy skin and blush tones? It’s giving “angelic, but don’t test me.” Plus, her hair in soft waves by Marce Pedrozo? Ugh, perfection. You’re ready to hit the pandal AND look fab doing it.
3. Pearlescent Half-Sari: For When You Want to Be a Mermaid, but Like, on Land
Last but not least – the pearlescent half-sari by Gaurav Gupta. Now, this one’s not your average Durga Puja outfit – it’s for when you’re feeling a little extra spicy and want to make the uncles clutch their pearls. Literally.
This saree shimmers like it was stolen straight from Ariel’s underwater wardrobe. The best part? It’s not just pretty; it’s bold. The structured blouse gives off serious boss babe vibes while still keeping it traditional enough that your grandma won’t disown you.
Janhvi paired this masterpiece with some Jet Gems statement earrings and rings, because duh, you’ve gotta accessorize to match the level of drama you’re bringing. The makeup is bronzed goddess goals with dewy skin (as always) and glossy lips that say, “Yes, I’m flawless, no, it’s not up for debate.”
And if you think her hair’s going to be anything but perfect, you’re wrong. Loose waves again by Marce Pedrozo, because consistency is key, people. Wear this to any nighttime Puja party, and trust me, people will be staring – for all the right reasons. Let them.
How to Pull Off These Looks Without a Bollywood Stylist (Or Janhvi’s Budget)
Okay, you may not have Manish Malhotra or Gaurav Gupta on speed dial, but who cares? You can still nail these looks by following these golden rules:
- Don’t be afraid to go bold: Gold saree? Pink florals? Pearlescent shimmer? Yes, yes, and YES. Channel your inner drama queen and own it.
- Keep accessories classy: Think statement earrings, bold rings, but nothing that screams “I raided my grandma’s jewelry box.”
- Hair and makeup: Soft waves, dewy skin, and minimal makeup are your besties. You’re not trying to look like you got lost at a makeup counter, right?
So, there you have it. Now stop stressing about what to wear, go grab a saree, and show up looking like the fashion icon you are. Remember: if Janhvi Kapoor can slay Durga Puja in a saree, so can you.
