5 celebrity ethnic wear we absolutely love!
Think ethnic wear and bright salwar kurtis or nine-yard sarees coupled with the quintessential bindis and bangles come to mind, right?
Wrong – at least for some of these celebrities who’ve challenged the status quo when it comes to ethnic wear! From unconventional cuts to unique pairings, from mystical embroidered blouses coupled with a modern garment to metallic colours that make your favourite rani pink clutch pale in comparison, these are some of our favourite ethnic showcases flaunted to perfection by these pretty B-town queens.
Sonam Kapoor
This tall lass has redefined the way anyone should wear sarees. Right from the saree’s print work to the draping style or even the sari blouse cut, Sonam Kapoor makes a style statement she steps out in a saree. And to top it all, her effortless make-up only complements her ethnic drape, making her look like the absolute saree queen that she is.
Kangana Ranaut
The queen of fierce, she has mastered the art of donning comfortable ethnic wear, while being at her absolute stylish best. She is able to carry off garments that would look like a massive fashion faux pas on anyone else. Long kurtis paired with skirts or bold print sarees to crop tops paired with lehengas, Kangana looks like a dream in every ethnic outfit.

Konkana Sen
Konkana Sen struts her stuff so beautifully in ethnic, it’s as though ethnic wear was invented for her. She has the most unusual of pairings in terms of kurtis with palazzos or differently draped sarees with unusual hues, and yet she owns the look and looks absolutely divine.
Neha Dhupia
Neha Dhupia is a fashion designer’s dream muse – especially because she’s so adventurous in her selection of outfits, and she manages to pull every single one with panache. She isn’t afraid to try on a completely new out-there garment, and her confidence adds a whole new dimension to what she has adorned. From flowy kurtis to monochrome lehengas, Neha looks like she’s always walking the ramp and is doing a fabulous job of it as well!
Alia Bhatt
Last but not the least, the one demure lass whose bubbly personality lends an air of freshness to her style is – Alia. Her dimpled smile brightens just about anything she chooses to wear, and her choices are, might we add, as eclectic as they are stylish. She carries off any colour with confidence, and her wardrobe of ethnic garments is one to envy! From pretty lehengas to floral kurtis and warrior-princess meets-dancer drape styled-sarees, Alia’s got it all covered!
