Forget the rich, jewel tones of the past; this festive season, vibrant and vivacious pastels are taking center stage, according to the style icon Janhvi Kapoor. From head-to-toe blush pinks and peaches to powder blues and zesty limes, the color palette is a refreshing change, embracing the joy of a vibrant winter.
Janhvi’s recent appearance in a stunning Manish Malhotra ombré sari is the perfect embodiment of this trend. The custom-made creation features a weightless organza base, delicately adorned with romantic floral motifs. The couturier’s signature Kashmiri embroidery, sparkling Swarovski crystals, and fine resham thread work on the border and pallu add a touch of timeless elegance. The sheer blouse creates the illusion of intricately embroidered three-dimensional blooms on the front, while delicate bird and Swarovski button accents on the back seem to float effortlessly.
This ombré creation is a nod to the 90s, a time when Malhotra’s designs redefined glamour on the silver screen. And it seems the trend has come full circle, captivating audiences once again. Last year, Alia Bhatt also embraced the ombré sari, wearing a georgette version during the press tour for ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’. Her gradient sari, paired with a simple powder blue sleeveless blouse, was a minimalist yet captivating statement.
Janhvi, however, chose to elevate her look with a boat-neckline, skin-net blouse that served as the perfect canvas for a pearl and gemstone encrusted choker from Akoya Jewels, along with elegant huggie earrings.
Implementing a pastel palette into your winter wardrobe might seem unconventional, but these evergreen shades and silhouettes offer a fresh and playful take on the season. Think of it as channeling the sophisticated style of the Danes, where pastels are embraced all year round. Vibrant colours are the perfect antidote to the browns and berries we often gravitate towards when the temperature drops.
Embrace the trend like Janhvi and elevate your festive look with occasion-ready jewellery and statement-making footwear, just like her stylish Fizzy Goblet pair. Get ready to embrace the vibrant world of pastel hues and make a statement this festive season.
