Navratri is finally here, and you know what that means—it’s not only time to worship Maa Durga, fast, and dance like no one’s looking on dandiya nights, but it’s also time to serve some major desi looks!
Each day of Navratri commemorates a different aspect of Goddess Durga, with Day 1 honouring Goddess Shailputri. Today is all about channelling that powerful feminine energy and connecting with your inner strength, and what better way to do that than in yellow? It’s the colour of the day, representing serenity, progress, and everything serene.
And don’t worry, if you’re looking for OOTD inspos, we have got you covered with Bollywood-inspired ensembles that will be not only suitable for darshans, and pandal hopping, but also for festive office wear vibe.
Janhvi Kapoor
Serving up major fashion inspos in a pastel yellow Anarkali which is giving a major fairy-tale vibe. The statement piece of the sleeveless kurta is the blingy beaded embellishments on the body combined with a deep V-neckline. And let’s not even talk about the drama surrounding the patchwork with tassels! It’s a fantasy worth twirling, with a scalloped hem and an airy silhouette.
Ananya Panday
With a yellow saree that exudes minimalist style, is what our Bae is all about. The sleeveless genz-coded blouse and the Jadau gold jewellery give it an ethnic look that is modern. Putting a low ponytail with white roses on top and wearing modest makeup to finish it off? She is essentially serving the genuine flower goddess.
Alia Bhatt
Alia has just discovered the key to joyful, soft-girl glamour. She is slaying the pale yellow Anarkali with beautiful flower embroidery. The vibe? We are enamoured with its effortless elegance.
Rakul Preet Singh
The ABCD actress looked stunning in a yellow anarkali with delicate straps, but the floral dupatta is what really makes it pop. Accessorized with a bold necklace and rings for days, she’s blending fresh-faced glam with vibrant goddess energy.
Shraddha Kapoor
In this mustard-yellow Anarkali, star Shraddha appears like a royal ray of sunlight thanks to the incredibly fine embroidery, which looks “very demure, very mindful”. The heavy jhumkas and the nath? Well, it is giving us major festive vibes.
Kriti Sanon
Kriti Sano in a yellow organza saree with black zardozi work that radiated boss vibe energy, is a perfect blend between festive and work. With bold eyes, nude lips, and huge earrings, the Mimi actress perfectly knows how to slay in a saree.
