Deepavali 2025 Fashion Trends: What’s In This Festive Season
As twinkling diyas and sparkling firecrackers set the mood for India’s grandest celebration, designers across the country are bringing their signature flair to the festive runway. From Varun Bahl’s fluid couture to Studio Rigu’s fearless colour play and Shyamal & Bhumika’s regal artistry, here’s what’s defining the fashion conversation this Diwali.
“I love a modern pre-stitched sari” — Varun Bahl
For Varun Bahl, this Deepavali is about grace without restriction. “When I think about dressing for a Deepavali party, I always look for pieces that feel elegant but also let you move freely and enjoy the evening,” he shares.
His favourites? Pre-stitched saris, peplum-topped shararas, and statement jumpsuits paired with flowing capes. Fabrics like silk and satin with hints of metallic embroidery and rich floral prints bring an effortless festive charm. “I’m drawn to vibrant florals and intricate embroidery in festive colours like reds, pinks, and greens—they instantly bring energy and joy to a look,” says the designer.
The result — a modern yet timeless take on Indian festivity, designed for comfort, confidence, and couture ease.
The Brighter, The Better — Riya Garg of Studio Rigu
For Riya Garg, Deepavali is a maximalist’s playground. “Deepavali parties are my excuse to go all out—the brighter, the better!” she laughs.
At Studio Rigu, think bold colour palettes, graphic prints, and flowy silhouettes made for dancing into the night. “The jackpot look isn’t about aces or kings — it’s about colour, confidence, and prints that make you feel like the life of the party,” says Garg.
Whether it’s a card night in electric hues or a soirée dripping in sparkle, the designer urges fashion lovers to let their vibrancy and personality take centre stage this season.
Intricate Elegance — Shyamal & Bhumika
For Shyamal & Bhumika, this Diwali is about artisanal storytelling — where craft meets couture. Their festive edit reinterprets royal silhouettes through the lens of modern lightness.
“We love playing with silhouettes and details that bring each outfit to life — a symphony of artisanal embroidery, opulent zardozi, layered peeta and aari work, and playful appliqué,” the designer duo shares.
The colour story moves through ivory, jewel tones, and antique golds, brought alive with floral threadwork and sequins that shimmer with movement. Standouts include an ivory satin cowl dress with a crepe silk yoke and a sequinned cropped cape set for a dose of subtle drama.
“Choose pieces that feel contemporary, regal, and joyful — so you can celebrate with confidence and ease,” they say.
The Verdict: Light Up in Style
If there’s one fashion takeaway this Deepavali, it’s that joy is the new luxury. Whether you’re draped in florals, sequins, or mirror-spangled silk, the message from India’s top designers is clear — celebrate in colour, comfort, and confidence.
