Think of the iconic Holi celebrations we have seen growing up in movies. Like Amitabh and Rekha grooving in Rang Barse, or Deepika and Ranbir’s insane chemistry in Balam Pichkari. The Bollywood Holi is iconic, stylish, full of romance and fun!

Classic White & a Pop of Colour
What’s a better Holi outfit or couple than the classic white attire? Add your own splash of vibrant hues with a colourful add-on. It’s simple and timeless, very Bollywood.
- For Her: A classic white cotton anarkali or chikankari kurti, paired with a bright dupatta. The dupatta can be one bright colour or a multi-colour one with bandhani or leheriya work. Finish the look with oversized jhumkas, a colourful set of bangles and open hair.
- For Him: A white linen or cotton kurta-pajama set with a colourful scarf or a bandhani stole. Can also go for a white kurta with colourful embroidery and white pyjama. Roll up the sleeves and throw on some cool aviators to look like a hero.
Colourful Fusion Fits
If you are looking for Holi outfit ideas that don’t fit the norm of classic white, this idea is perfect for you and your partner. Create a statement at your Holi party with bold colours and an ethnic-meets-western fusion look.
- For Her: A bright crop top balanced with a flowy skirt or a pair of dhoti pants. Make sure that the crop top stands out with details like prints or mirror work. Finish off the look with some chunky bangles and a pair of sunglasses.
- For Him: Match the fusion energy of your partner with a bright Nehru jacket over a plain kurta, or an open bandhgala with a funky print. You can also wear a pair of jeans to make it more casual. Keep the accessories to a minimum and let the outfit shine.
Couple in Desi Glam
If you are looking for Holi outfit inspiration for a full-on desi affair with a lot of glam, this idea is for you. While you can opt for regal ethnic wear to look your glamorous best, a bit of desi touch will make it more filmy and fun.
- For Her: A lightweight lehenga in pastel hues or jewel colours. Subtle embroideries to avoid making the attire heavy and make it comfortable for Holi celebration. Mirrorwork also looks glamorous. Pair it with minimal but shiny jewel pieces to finish the look.
- For Him: A simple pastel kurta featuring mirrorwork–light, breathable and glamorous. You can also opt for a silk kurta paired with a contrasting layer of stole or jacket.
