Look drop-dead gorgeous this Rakhi!

With Raksha Bandhan 2025 sitting just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to plan your festive wardrobe that should scream iconic. While there’s always a safe option for traditional suits like anarkalis and straight-fit suits, it’s time to amp up your ethnic wardrobe and try something new. A peplum suit is just the right number that you’re looking for. Offering a chic, modern, yet flattering look, peplum suits are a perfect option for something contemporary and glamorous. Let’s see how our Bollywood actresses have nailed this style over the years.

2/6

Karisma Kapoor

Known for bringing in a wave of change with her style game, she’s the first Kapoor girl to enter showbiz and become a true-blue icon. A fashionista of her era, she was seen in a gorgeous red-hot sharara set that looked perfect for festivities and celebrations. Karisma wore a red short peplum kurta with matching sharara pants designed by Ritika Mirchandani, which came with intricate notes of silver handiwork and sequin lining on the pants.

Deepika Padukone

No one can do fashion better than Deepika Padukone. The glamorous beauty is often spotted in all-white ensembles and once again has managed to leave us simply awestruck. The diva wore an ethereal all-white gharara with a full-sleeved plunging neckline and a peplum-cut kurta dipped in silver embroidery. Shining like a star, which she surely is, Deepika completed the look with a pair of stud earrings that also matched her outfit’s aura.

Aditi Rao Hydari

Aditi Rao Hydari’s closet is filled with standout ethnic looks that are ideal for festive and celebratory runs. She chose a red sharara set from Ridhi Mehra’s collection ‘Reflections’ that looked comforting and stylish. Her outfit features a short peplum-style kurta with matching sharara-style pants. Both dripping in red and white, with a busy print. However, the beaded placket of her kurta added a hint of unexpected Boho spirit, which created a fuss-free ethnic look.

Sara Ali Khan

Sara Ali Khan sourced this gorgeous ivory sharara from Faraz Manan’s couture collection. The co-ord set featured a peplum-styled kurta with intricate embroidery and embellishments in white floral and geometric patterns. Her full-sleeved, high-neckline kurta stood out for its scalloped hemline that looked iconic. The fit-and-flare pants added another sophisticated verve that brought together a perfect combination of grace and elegance.

Pooja Hegde

Known for her sophisticated and elegant fashion choices, this peplum-cut outfit is stamped in our hearts. During an awards night back in 2019, she walked the red carpet in a brocade sheer-net beaded lehenga and matched its aura with a peplum-style frilly blouse. Drenched in the shades of charismatic grey with intricate shimmer floral embroidery on the top, she wore satin strapless innerwear underneath the sheer blouse, which gave a modish spin.
