One thing we can’t help but notice is that the leading ladies from Bollywood love their ethnic outfits, and whenever they get the chance, they turn to beautiful and rich sarees, anarkalis, and lehengas.
We have to admit that with time, Bollywood celebrity sightings in ethnics are gradually fading out, giving way to fusion Indian clothing, towards which the fashion industry is now progressing. More functional and much more glamorous, these outfits are here to stay.
To fit Indian wear into their wardrobe, these women and a host of designers are working to streamline and refine ethnics to turn them into contemporary and wearable versions.
Our Top FusionWear Picks This Week:
Lara Dutta In Papa Don’t Preach:
The vibe of this designer label by Shubhika is both fun and fusion in itself. The way the designer tweaks the classic Indian wear to create offbeat, attention-grabbing silhouettes is impressive. Spotted on the sets of High Fever Dance Ka Tevar co-judging, was the former Miss Universe and bollywood actress, Lara Dutta. For her small-screen showcasing, Lara dressed up in a pretty pink Jasmine dhoti, teamed with an asymmetric gota embellished kurta. Stylist Esha Amiin styled this fusion Indian wear with a pair of earrings from Azotiique. Interesting and functional, an ensemble like this can be your pick for a fun mehendi night of your bff.
