Actress Shanaya Kapoor recently turned heads when she stepped out in a traditional yet modern couture lehenga from Mayyur Girotra — part of the designer’s “The Collectible: Series One.” The outfit, deeply rooted in Gujarati embroidery traditions, is a striking blend of heritage artistry and contemporary styling.
The lehenga’s skirt featured intricate black Kutch embroidery on an ivory base, adorned with motifs like peacocks and florals — a homage to centuries-old craft traditions from Gujarat. The contrast of black threadwork against ivory made the embroidery stand out boldly yet elegantly. Her blouse followed suit, complementing the skirt with refined printed detailing, and the entire silhouette was elevated by a matching dupatta edged with black-and-gold border work.
The Look — Hair, Makeup & Styling
• Hair & Hairstyle
-
Shanaya chose a sleek, centre-parted bun, a polished style that keeps attention on the outfit and her face.
-
To add a traditional flair, she adorned the bun with fresh flowers (a gajra) — a subtle but effective detail that complements the ethnic vibe of her lehenga.
• Makeup & Face Styling
-
Her makeup was minimal and refined, focusing on enhancing natural beauty rather than heavy glam.
-
She used a warm-brown palette for cheeks and lips — giving her a soft, warm glow that matched the traditional outfit.
-
Eyes were gently defined with kajal, adding subtle depth without overwhelming the face.
-
A small bindi completed the traditional aesthetic — simple but very effective in tying together the entire look.
• Accessories & Overall Styling
-
She paired the outfit with a multi-stones choker, traditional jhumka-style earrings and black bangles along with golden kadas on her wrists — a mix of elegance and ethnic charm.
-
The choice of jewellery and accessories complemented the detailed Kutch embroidery of the lehenga without distracting from it.
-
Overall, the styling balanced modern couture sensibilities with Indian traditional aesthetics — clean, elegant, and rooted in heritage
