With her jaw-dropping saree looks for her wedding and reception, Sonakshi Sinha has won fans’ hearts
And the pictures are finally here! We have been waiting for photographs from the big Bollywood wedding of the season, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal. The Heeramandi actress got hitched to her long-time beau in an intimate wedding at her apartment in Bandra on the 23rd of June. The couple shared their photos through social media platforms and netizens are obsessing over their wedding looks. The beautiful pair earned praise for their looks for both the events – the civil wedding and the reception party.
The bride’s looks for the wedding and the reception were very contradictory to each other, yet very similar. For both events, Sonakshi chose to wear sarees with traditional blouses, both classic and elegant. But the colours of the outfits created two completely different vibes. While Sonakshi went for a very subtle and minimal look for her marriage registration, she opted for a traditional red bridal look for her reception. Amidst the buzz around the duo’s beautiful inter-faith marriage, let’s take a look at the couple’s wedding looks that are creating a storm through the internet.

The actress ditched big fashion designers for the event and wore her mother’s saree instead. Yes, it’s the same saree Poonam Sinha wore while getting married to veterinary actor Shatrughan Sinha on July 9, 1980. Sona styled the ivory saree from her mother’s wedding trousseau and styled it in a new way. She opted for a minimal look, pairing the saree with a matching ivory blouse and her mother’s choker necklace. The saree features intricate chikankari embroidery, adding to the elegance of the bride. It is a major fashion goal moment from the Dabaang actress for brides who want to upcycle outfits.
The statement kundan necklace was paired with matching earrings and her engagement ring. Sona went with light makeup with a dewy base, light smokey eyes, winged eyeliner soft coral lips, curled lashes, and feathered brows. Her hands were adorned with traditional alta, while her sleek bun was decorated with thick gajra. The dainty bindi gave the perfect finishing touch to this mesmerising look. Groom Zaheer Iqbal went for an ivory kurta, matching his bride.

The Reception
It won’t be wrong to say that it was Sonakshi’s reception look that made netizens shower their love and praise for her fashion choices. Amidst the craze of ‘Bollywood Pastel Brides’, Sonakshi Sinha brought the classic Suhagan look back with her red saree look, looking like an absolutely gorgeous traditional Indian bride. Fans are all in praise on the internet for this look, calling it a fresh relief from the big fat weddings and the pastel wash of the traditional. It also raises the debate, is it high time we bring the traditional bridal look in fashion?
Rather than following every other actress’s footsteps and wearing offbeat indo-western outfits for the reception, Sonakshi Sinha chose a beautiful red brocade banarasi saree from the designer label Raw Mango. The six-yard wonder features a gold ‘chand buta’ or crescent moon motif all over and a heavily woven zari border. The saree is priced a whooping 79,800Rs and is available online to buy.
The newlywed paired this beautiful saree with a matching red blouse. She tied her hair in a sleek middle-parted bun and adorned it with gajra, much like her wedding look. Sonakshi chose a green emerald necklace with matching earrings, gold choda, and red bangles. Her makeup consists of winged eyeliner, dark brows, rouge, and mauve lips. The red bindi and sindoor gave a perfect finishing touch to this ideal Indian bride look. Her groom Zaheer Iqbal wore a white sherwani for the event, complementing Sonakshi’s look and making a perfect couple.
Sonakshi Sinha went against wedding trends and set new fashion goals for the brides-to-be with her wedding looks. We wish her and Zaheer a very happy married life.
