If you’re dreaming of walking down the aisle in a look inspired by your favourite star, we’ve got you covered. Here’s how to recreate the most iconic celebrity bridal looks of recent times, with practical styling tips and accessible alternatives, only by Team Wedding Affair.
Anushka Sharma’s Blush Pink Sabyasachi Elegance
You didn’t think we would skip the one wedding that started it all, did you? Setting the trend of celebrity bridal fashion, and celebrity wedding as well, Anushka Sharma’s wedding look is something straight out of a Tuscan fairytale. The Sabyasachi lehenga is an absolute classic; no wonder it brought the pastel lehenga storm in weddings right after.
How to Recreate:
Look for a pastel-toned lehenga with subtle floral embroidery in silk or organza. Pair it with heritage-style jewellery like jadau or polki chokers. To mimic Anushka’s soft glam, opt for nude eyes, dewy skin, and a soft pink lip. Don’t forget the fresh floral bun—roses or baby’s breath work best.

Deepika Padukone’s Classic Red Royalty
Deepveer wedding was a trendsetter for many reasons. A perfect example of fusion between Konkani and Sindhi traditions, this wedding set the tone for destination weddings with a touch of heritage. The iconic celebrity bridal look by Deepika Padukone featured a crimson red lehenga by couturier Sabyasachi. What left us in awe was the “Sada Saubhagyavati Bhava” dupatta.
How to Recreate:
Deepika’s bridal avatar screamed regal tradition. Choose a deep red lehenga with gold zari or hand embroidery. Have a custom dupatta made with a Sanskrit verse or your own wedding mantra. Customising your bridal lehenga is a big trend now. Complement the look with temple jewellery or antique gold sets, and go bold with smokey eyes and a strong brow. A centre-parted low bun and sindoor seal the deal.
Priyanka Chopra’s Fusion Dream
When two global superstars get married, the wedding becomes literally a fusion dream. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s wedding was an amalgamation of international grandeur meets Indian heritage, with both Hindu and Christian weddings taking place simultaneously. However, the look that became an iconic bridal look was the all-red Sabyasachi lehenga Priyanka wore for the Hindu ceremony.
How to Recreate:
Priyanka’s lehenga was a rich, tone-on-tone celebration of red. Go for layered embroidery in the same colour palette, with metallic threadwork and sequins for a similar feel. A sheer embroidered veil adds to the drama. Match it with ruby and uncut diamond jewellery. Her makeup was radiant—think a flawless base, berry lips, and highlighted cheekbones. A neat bun will let the attire shine.
Alia Bhatt’s Ivory Minimalism
With her effortless style and barely-there makeup looks, Alia Bhatt has quietly become the face of minimal fashion in India. And her wedding look was no different. For an intimate wedding with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia donned a contemporary and chic attire featuring an ivory hand-dyed organza saree. The open hair and no-fuss makeup were just the cherry on top.
How to Recreate:
Alia’s iconic bridal look gave modern minimalism a bridal spin. Pick an ivory or cream saree or lehenga with delicate embroidery. Ditch the bun for soft, open waves and go for heirloom gold pieces instead of heavy bling. Her no-makeup makeup included brushed brows, soft nude lips, and flushed cheeks. A tiny bindi was her only traditional element—understated and stunning. And don’t forget the minimal mehendi design.

Katrina Kaif’s Regal Red Sabyasachi Lehenga
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s wedding was a dreamy regal affair, set against the stunning Rajasthani fort. Keeping up with the grandeur, the actress looked like a queen out of a history book with her bridal look. It was traditional yet dreamy, featuring a classic red lehenga, matha patti and double dupatta.
How to Recreate:
Katrina nailed the “timeless bride” brief. Go for a bright red lehenga with gold hand embroidery. Accessorise with a traditional nath, matha patti, and long kaleeras. She wore custom gold jewellery from Sabyasachi’s heritage collection—replicate it with your handloom pieces or designer ones. Makeup was softly glam: peachy tones, a defined lash line, and warm-toned lips.
Kiara Advani’s Soft Glam in Baby Pink
A pastel-themed palace affair, Sid-Kiara’s wedding was a modern royal fairytale. Both bride and groom looked beautiful, but what made Kiara’s lehenga an iconic celebrity bridal look is the ombre drama. The rose-pink Manish Malhotra lehenga with heavy embellishments and emerald jewellery left us in awe.
How to Recreate:
Kiara’s look was all things soft, romantic, and luxe. Choose a baby pink lehenga with mirrorwork, sequins, or thread embroidery. The highlight was her contrasting emerald jewellery—a striking choice you can replicate with green kundan or emerald pieces. Her makeup was glowy, with pink lips and a subtle shimmer eye. The half-tied hairstyle added to the fairy-tale vibe.

Athiya Shetty’s Old-World Rose Gold Charm
A day wedding with soft sunlight calls for soft glamour soaked in heritage. And Athiya Shetty’s bridal look perfectly fit the box. All her looks for the wedding with cricketer KL Rahul were effortlessly chic and incredibly stylish. But her antique rose-gold chikankari lehenga paired with old-school jewellery created simply one of the best celebrity bridal looks to recreate.
How to Recreate:
Athiya’s dreamy rose-toned chikankari outfit made a strong case for soft glamour. Opt for muted gold or dusky rose lehengas with chikankari or threadwork. Keep your jewellery heritage-inspired with uncut diamonds or pearls. Her barely-there makeup and soft bun made it feel breezy and regal. If your wedding is during the day, this is the look.
Whether you’re a minimalist like Alia or a royal traditionalist like Deepika, there’s a celebrity bridal look for every kind of bride. Add these celebrity bridal looks in your wedding moodboard—but don’t forget to add your own sparkle.
