With Raksha Bandhan just around the corner, the search for the perfect festive outfit is officially on. Whether you’re celebrating at home or stepping out for a family get-together, this is the time to flaunt your ethnic best, but with a stylish twist.
If you’re looking for fashion inspiration, take notes from Bollywood's Gen Z stars like Khushi Kapoor, Rasha Thadani, and more, who are redefining festive dressing with a fresh and contemporary vibe.
Here's how you can recreate some of their stunning looks for Rakhi 2025.
Khushi Kapoor's Brocade Blazer Set
Khushi Kapoor gave festive fashion a power-dressing upgrade in a custom Kunal Rawal brocade outfit. She wore a structured, blazer-style short kurta paired with flowy palazzo pants in a matching fabric. This look is ideal for girls who want to keep it bold, elegant, and fusion-friendly. Accessorise with statement earrings and a sleek hairdo for a fuss-free yet polished vibe.
Mrunal Thakur's Floral Shrug Set
Want something Indo-western and youthful? Mrunal Thakur's red floral shrug set checks all the boxes. Featuring an embellished crop top, wide-legged sharara-style pants, and a floor-length shrug replacing the usual dupatta, this look is perfect for girls who want to mix comfort with glam. Add juttis and floral hair accessories for a playful touch.
Shilpa Shetty’s Kurta & Dhoti
Channel modern-day royalty with an asymmetrical short kurta and dhoti-style pants like Shilpa Shetty. She stunned in a pristine white version embroidered delicately with tonal threadwork. This look works well for a day-to-night transition. Throw in metallic heels, soft waves, and chandelier earrings to complete the Rakhi-ready look.
Vaani Kapoor’s Tissue Anarkali
Not in the mood for anything heavy? Take a cue from Vaani Kapoor and opt for a tissue Anarkali set instead. Her rose-gold ensemble had an intricately embellished bodice and a flowy plain tissue bottom, paired with a sheer dupatta. This one's a great pick if you want something elegant yet statement-making. Keep your accessories minimal and let the outfit shine.
Rasha Thadani's Retro Sheer Saree
Rasha Thadani gave us serious old-school glam in her embroidered sheer saree. The delicate borders, paired with a matching embellished blouse, created a dreamy, festive vibe. If you’re planning to wear a saree this Raksha Bandhan, go sheer and sparkly. Finish off with vintage-inspired earrings and soft, dewy makeup.
