Sonam Bajwa styles a crochet gown and a Bandhani set
Sonam Bajwa showed two distinct occasion dressing moods: a white halter-neck crochet gown, and a maroon Bandhani-inspired festive set.
Sonam Bajwa just answered the same style question twice — in two completely different languages. Her latest looks move from a structured white crochet gown to a maroon Bandhani-inspired festive set, and the switch is the story.
The white crochet gown
The first look is built for an evening event. Bajwa wore a white crochet gown with a halter neckline, intricate openwork and a long trail that adds movement. The sheer effect of the crochet gives it a lighter finish, but the fitted silhouette keeps it from feeling too soft.
Her styling here is deliberately quiet. Hair left open and makeup kept subtle let the gown’s texture stay the hero. It is a smart move — when a piece already has pattern, transparency and a train, adding heavy accessories would only dilute the effect.
The maroon Bandhani-inspired set
Look two is a different wardrobe altogether. Bajwa chose a maroon Bandhani-inspired ensemble: blouse, skirt and dupatta carrying traditional-style prints that land somewhere between festive and contemporary. The deep colour gives the look its weight, while the print does the talking.
She finished it with a metallic clutch. That one modern accent is enough to keep the outfit from becoming a costume — the textile stays central, but the styling still feels current. For readers planning a sangeet, a pooja lunch or a festive brunch, this is the easiest formula to borrow.
What the contrast teaches
Neither look is meant to outrank the other. The white gown leads with structure, texture and silhouette. The maroon set leads with colour, craft and layering. That is why the pairing works: it shows real range rather than a single signature aesthetic.
Bandhani, for the unfamiliar, is a traditional tie-and-dye technique from western India, known for its dotted, patterned fabric. Here it is used in an inspired way rather than as a museum piece, which is exactly why the outfit feels festive but not dated.
Styling notes to borrow
- Let a detailed gown breathe: minimal makeup and open hair keep it elegant.
- One metallic accessory is enough to modernise a printed traditional set.
- Pick one hero element per look — texture, structure, colour or print — and keep the rest quiet.
The bigger takeaway for Bollywood Society readers is not about copying either outfit. It is about choosing a focal point before adding anything else. Bajwa does that twice over, and both decisions feel intentional.
