9 Bollywood Navratri Looks to Steal This Festive Season

Navratri dressing is easiest when you treat the festival as a nine-part colour story. Bollywood’s most photographed women have already tested the formulas — wide-leg shararas for movement, pre-draped sarees for speed, and lehengas in unexpected colour combinations — so the inspiration is ready to borrow.

Nine outfits, nine colour slots

Bookmark one look per night, or mix pieces you already own with one standout garment.

• Deepika Padukone’s yellow kurta set — bright yellow with subtle shimmer, churidar and a long dupatta, finished with a black potli and pointed heels.
• Yami Gautam’s green anarkali — deep green with gold embroidery, a sheer dupatta and traditional jhumkas for a classic, low-effort festive look.
• Priyanka Chopra’s grey saree — pre-draped, sequinned and one-shouldered, pairing a cool grey palette with sleek hair and a structured bag.
• Kiara Advani’s burnt-orange lehenga — deep-brown panels, gold detailing and a cropped blouse, a break from expected festival reds and pinks.
• Kareena Kapoor Khan’s white lehenga — soft all-white with floral embroidery, a sheer dupatta and one statement necklace.
• Katrina Kaif’s red saree — printed with paisley and colourful borders, kept understated with a bindi, small earrings and flowing hair.
• Alia Bhatt’s blue lehenga — dotted blue fabric, a broad golden border and a modern tie-up blouse with jhumkas.
• Lauren Gottlieb’s pink-and-black lehenga — multi-coloured embroidery, a sheer black dupatta and layered silver jewellery.
• Kriti Sanon’s lavender sharara — pastel purple with floral embroidery, scalloped gold trim, flared pants and statement earrings.

Why this matters for your festive wardrobe

The useful part isn’t the exact garment — it is the silhouette and styling choices. A fitted one-shoulder drape makes a saree feel evening-ready. A cropped blouse modernises a traditional lehenga. A single bold accessory can carry an all-monochrome outfit. If you are dancing all night, a sharara or Anarkali with room to move is a practical pick; if you are attending a sit-down gathering, the structured grey saree or embroidered white lehenga is easier to manage.

There is also a smart shopping principle here: choose one high-impact colour and keep the rest of the look quiet. Katrina’s red saree works because the hair, jewellery and blouse are simple. Kareena’s white lehenga works because the embroidery does the talking. Most of these outfits rely on one hero piece, which means you can recreate the energy with a single garment rather than a whole new wardrobe.

What to do before you buy

Screen-grab the look you love, then work backwards from your calendar. For garba nights, pick silhouettes that allow movement — the sharara or the blue lehenga. For photos and pujas, a saree or Anarkali holds up beautifully. And if you are on a budget, rent the heavy lehenga and spend on the accessory that repeats across all nine nights: statement earrings, a potli, or a pair of juttis.
