When you’re looking for inspiration on how to wear traditional attire for a special occasion, there’s no better place to look than your favorite actresses’ Instagram account. Whether you are a fan of Telugu cinema or Bollywood, we bet plenty of the top actresses can occasionally be spotted rocking a traditional look with gajra. Why a gajra to complete a look, you wonder? Well, because the occasions call for it, of course! From Sai Pallavi to Madhuri Dixit, here’s a look at nine gorgeous divas who show us a thing or two about how to style gajra flowers with a traditional look:
1. Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone channels her inner desi girl for this look. We love the emerald green jewelry and soft coral makeup she’s worn. Her big brown eyes are highlighted with a hint of mascara and a smokey eye. But above all, it’s the smear of vermillion and cascading floral gajra that completes her overall traditional look. We love when Deepika decides to showcase her traditional wardrobe at events!
2. Vidya Balan
Vidya is known for rocking extremely exquisite traditional wear. The Southern-born talent has a vibrant collection of traditional outfits, and she is often spotted dazzling fans in them at events. We love Vidya’s golden lehenga and large earrings. Vidya shared this image with her followers on Instagram to celebrate the Malayalee occasion of Vishu. The actress added two cheeky emojis of a coconut tree and a broken coconut. We love that she is so in touch with her cultural side.
3. Sai Pallavi
The new girl on the block, Sai Pallavi, is seen as a natural beauty and is known for her million-dollar smile and stunning dance moves. She is often spotted in some elegant ethnic wear and sarees. In 2019, the actress took part in a gorgeous photoshoot on a beach and was spotted in a striking traditional white saree with a gold border. She styled her thick dark hair with some gajra, and we have to say that it elevated her look even further. She kept her makeup neutral and accessorized her gorgeous outfit with jhumkas, gold bangles, and a maang tikka. Her complete look and the location of the shoot made her look almost like an ethereal angel.
4. Samantha Akkineni
Samantha truly is a style icon of the South, and we have to say that her looks are striking, bold, and super cheerful. The gorgeous Super Deluxe actress was spotted in this beautiful blush chiffon saree by a luxury brand by the name of House of Three. The actress kept her makeup pretty neutral and opted for nude shades. We really love how Samantha looks in traditional wear!
5. Sonakshi Sinha
The Dabangg starlet looked absolutely stunning in a white-colored lehenga and gajra. She shared some lovely pictures from a photoshoot with her Instagram followers, and we have to say that we’re awe-struck. She chose to opt for a striking cat-eye look and blush pink lips. We love her tiny nose pin and gajra as they make them look even more traditional.
6. Alia Bhatt
Alia is often spotted wearing gajras at events. We love how she styles the look and grabs our attention with each outfit. Her gorgeous almond-shaped eyes are complemented by kajal and a thick layer of mascara. We like that she added a touch of blush pink to the flowers in her gajra, making it a little more multicolored and exciting. Her blue bindi and large earrings complete this look, and we have to ape it someday.
7. Asin
The stunning Southern actress looked absolutely striking in this throwback picture. She chose a very unique way to style her gajra, and we have to say we are living for it. The actress decided to part her hair in the middle and wore the gajra across her parting. This is a bold and unique take on the traditional gajra look. Asin chose to sport simple gold jewelry for the occasion.
8. Rekha
There’s no greater style icon than the legendary Rekha. The exotic veteran actress truly knows how to keep it alluring and glamorous. Each time she is spotted at an event, she is at her ultimate best, and we have to give credit where credit is due. Her vermillion makeup and exquisite gold saree go incredibly well with the white gajra she is donning. We love her fabulous avatar.
9. Madhuri Dixit
Madhuri Dixit is another style icon straight out of the 90s. Of course, we’re not trying to say that she isn’t relevant now. The Devdas actress shared this throwback picture of herself and her husband, Dr. Shriram Nene. Her traditional nose ring, gajra, and unique jewelry truly elevated her look to another level. We love the indigo blue, and vibrant pattern of her pallu.
Divas from the film industry are often spotted rocking absolutely fabulous looks, and we have to say that they look magnificent. Don’t be surprised if you see your peers sporting some of these looks at the next ethnic function. Do let us know which of these looks was your personal favorite in the comment section below!
