Demure and classic are two words that define this Janhvi Kapoor look. The sindoori red saree adorned with golden sequin work, zardosi embroidery, and broad borders makes for a perfect Durga Puja pandal-hopping ensemble. Pair the saree with a contrasting green blouse like Janhvi and enhance the look with emerald and polki gold jewellery.

Kareena Kapoor is the epitome of beauty in this red silk kurta set by Sabyasachi with gold embroidered borders. The Begum of Pataudi styled the ensemble with a vibrant bandhani dupatta, gold chandbalis, and striking glam. So, pick out a red silk kurta set from your wardrobe and accessorise it with statement jewels. Because, as Kareena proves, accessories make or break the look.

Ananya Panday wears a bejewelled golden saree by Tarun Tahiliani from his otherworldly 2024 couture collection. If bright colours are not your scene, pick a traditional look in a neutral shade like Ananya for Durga Puja pandal hopping. Like her, you can enhance the ensemble by pairing it with emerald jewels. You can also opt for rubies.
A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol)
While Ananya’s saree look embraced maximalism, Kajol’s beige saree is all about understated elegance. Like the actor, pick a silk embroidered nine yards and pair it with a heavily embellished blouse to keep the festive mood intact. You can further beautify the look with a statement red bindi, red bangles, kohl-lined eyes, and a gajra-adorned hairdo.

This Durga Puja, pick a muted gold chiffon saree featuring beige and silver borders like Rani Mukerji. Pair the nine yards, with a brocade silk blouse, gajra-adorned bun, and a statement jewellery piece. Chiffon sarees are easy to carry and quite comfortable, making them ideal for busy days.
A post shared by Vidya Balan (@balanvidya)
Exude festive glamour while pandal hopping by wearing a traditional red Banarasi silk saree similar to the one worn by Vidya Balan. If you are newly married, this could be an ideal pick for your first Durga Puja celebrations after marriage. Style the ensemble with gold jewellery and a no-makeup makeup look like Vidya.

After the vibrant red hue, the bright fuchsia shade packs all the festive punch you need for looking your best while pandal hopping. Like Alia, mix traditional and modern style aesthetics to your look by picking a silk embroidered saree and a gold embellished strapless blouse.
