Celebrity fashion becomes quite predictable around the festive season, where celebrities set the tone every year in blingy ensembles. But, in recent times, the fashion world has taken a soft turn and has been seen playing around with shades of ivory or pastels. But Shah Rukh Khan’s wife, and the OG Bollywood wife of all, Gauri Khan, has refused to be in the same line.
The diva broke the monotony and leaned towards a more vibrant shade, where she picked a powerful shade of yellow and reminded everyone that festive wear should bring a sense of light into the room and should not be subdued. She took the lead and looked absolutely rich, unapologetic, and iconic in this iconic mustard yellow drape.
She wore a bright mustard-yellow saree, which looked haldi-ready, decorated with tiny motifs scattered across the drape, which caught the light in the most iconic manner. She matched its grace with an embellished blouse, which added a sleek structure to the look. Perfect for daytime functions and wedding ceremonies, she styled it up with a sleek golden chain with dangling round jhumkas.
For her hair and makeup, she didn’t complicate the look and opted for a dewy base with softly defined eyes, warm tones, and a hint of natural lips. Even for the hair, she styled it in loose waves, which gave a less edgy look.
With this look, Gauri Khan doesn’t just wear a trend; she simply sets the tone for what’s right and becomes unapologetically visible. This is just an indication that this season isn’t going to be mellow, but it’ll be filled with vibrant colours, and we’re absolutely looking forward to it.
