Indian designs are having a moment. We are looking at our own textile traditions with fresh interest, rediscovering prints, fabrics and silhouettes that have always been part of our fashion story. And with the festive season around the corner, there is even more reason to dress up and have a little fun with what we wear.

When it comes to style inspiration, our favourite celebrities are often the first people we look to. From television and entertainment to social media, they have a way of giving traditional outfits a fresh spin sometimes with a new silhouette, sometimes with statement accessories, and sometimes simply by keeping things beautifully understated.

At Riyaasat, it is always special to see our outfits being worn and styled by personalities we love watching. From sarees and lehengas to kurta sets and elegant ethnic ensembles, here are a few celebrity looks that caught our eye.

So, let’s take a closer look.

Steal the Spotlight – The Celeb Edit

Shweta Tiwari in a Classic Red and Green Bandhani Saree

Shweta Tiwari brought a beautiful festive touch to her look for Ekta Kapoor’s Ganpati celebrations in a red and green Bandhani saree from Riyaasat.

The traditional Bandhani print, floral detailing on the pallu and full-sleeve green blouse came together beautifully. She kept the look festive with kundan jhumkas, golden bangles, an embellished potli and bedazzled heels.

It is the kind of saree that does not need too much styling to make an impression. The colours already bring plenty of character, while the traditional print keeps the look rooted in Indian festive dressing.

If you love the charm of a traditional Bandhani saree, let the print and colours take centre stage. Antique gold jewellery works particularly well with the red and green palette, while a potli or metallic heels can give the look a slightly more dressed-up finish.

There is something effortlessly glamorous about a red saree. If you prefer your festive dressing on the contemporary side, choose a clean silhouette with interesting detailing and keep the accessories simple.

The beauty of an Angrakha lies in how easily it can move between traditional and contemporary styling. A warm shade like rust orange works especially well for daytime celebrations and festive gatherings.

From Their Style to Yours

What we love about these looks is that there is no single way to do festive dressing. Shweta Tiwari’s Bandhani saree leans into timeless tradition, Arjun Bijlani’s kurta set keeps things bright and easy, while Tejasswi Prakash gives the classic saree a more contemporary feel.

Then there are looks like Sunayana Fozdar’s vibrant lehenga and Purva Mantri’s elegant Angrakha suit each showing a different side of Indian festive fashion.

And that is perhaps the best part of taking inspiration from celebrities. You do not have to recreate a look exactly. Pick the colour you love, the silhouette that feels like you, or simply borrow an accessory idea and make it your own.
