Check out our list of favourites.
Karisma Kapoor
Karisma Kapoor’s fabulous collection of ethnic wear is our favourite amongst Bollywood girlies. The star’s love for classics is often marinated with trendy designs and exuberant colours. Kapoor enjoys keeping it stylish in kalidaars, and you can style one for this festival. Our pick from her closet is this crumpled Anarkali suit set, featuring a gotta work angrakha neckline, dupatta and churidaar. Like Kapoor, you can style the same with golden jhumkas, and a pair of kolhapuris to match the embroidery work.
Mira Kapoor
Another trendsetter in this category is Shahid Kapoor’s beautiful wife–Mira. Kapoor has a classy taste in ethnic wear, that leans more towards traditional embroidery work, ethnic silhouettes and accessories. For Raksha Bandhan, take cues from the actress and experiment with a Pakistani-style suit set. A short kurta, teamed with calf-length pants and a statement shawl dupatta will help you dress up gracefully.
Rashmika Mandanna
Mandanna is a carefree dresser, who loves to experiment with the most fuss-free designs. For film promotions, the actress enjoys keeping it simple and light with traditional Indian outfits. If you’re looking for simple, yet elegant design options, just like Mandanna, pick a cotton kurta with the statement, thread-work neckline. She further accessorised the look with a pair of gemstone earrings and platform heels.
Shraddha Kapoor
Mark the special occasion of Raksha Bandhan with the delightful shade of orange. Taking style notes from actress Shraddha Kapoor, you can pick this roomy Devnagri kurta with an a-line silhouette, lace-embroidered bell sleeves, combined with wide-legged salwar pants. You can further style the piece with oxidised jewellery and a bindi.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu
Samantha’s perfectly crisp collection of ethnic wear is another of our favourites. The actress leans more towards shadow embroidery work, with classic silhouettes and muted colours. Prabhu’s fabulous fashion is a testimony of her personal sense of style, which involves a lot of whites. For the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, you can pick a simple white kurta like her, and style it with statement jewellery and quirky accessories.

Teamed with pants and an organza dupatta of the same shade, you can choose to style this suit with oxidised jewellery and a white manicure.
