Sarees and kurta sets need not be your go-to choice for Karwa Chauth celebrations, and Sonam Kapoor’s bright pink, green and golden-hued ensemble is proof. The actor wore a brocade embroidered ghagra choli and styled the set with a matching dupatta draped like a saree pallu. She paired the ensemble with a gold choker necklace, earrings, and a bracelet.

Mira Rajput’s Karwa Chauth look is for the lowkey, newlywed brides. Without much ‘fuss’, pick a deep red chiffon saree like Mira and pair it with a sleeveless blouse for the perfect Karwa Chauth outfit. The embellished borders, sequin adornments, a heavily embroidered blouse, Chandbalis, and a potli bag make the ensemble a festive look.
