As a child, I used to look up to magazines and newspapers, and the notion of wearing these gorgeous designer dresses always intrigued me. I used to wonder how many clothes these celebrities have and where they keep them.
But what caught my attention was how mesmerizing these celebs looked in chikankari and salwar suits. I mean, yes, it’s not something to be amazed by, but I liked how they dressed in something I could afford. Even though chikankari is still expensive, it’s not like buying a dress for 3-4lacs.
From having these cutouts to saving the posts on Instagram, I grew up, but my love for chikankari remained the same. Seeing celebrities in chikankari made me wear them the same way, and now I hunt for the same dress, accessories, and even footwear.
Today, you’ll see some of my favorite celebrities’ looks, and I’ll also share with you the link to the full look so you can feel like a true diva on a budget!
My Favorite Looks Of Celebrities in Chikankari
Growing up, we realize many things, and our sense of styling changes with the modern-day trends. But there’s never been a decline in demand for chikankari. I’ve evolved from seeing my grandmother wearing chikankari sarees to having short kurtis with baggy jeans.
I believe celebrities play a crucial role in forming our styles. How many of us have used our mother’s dupatta to drape a saree as a kid while watching TV? Or look for the same dress our favorite actor wore in some movie? I have!
Watching award shows and movies where our favorite actress was wearing something that took our breath away! Now, I’m being dramatic, but I know you’ll understand my point.
I know we all wanted that yellow short kurti of Geet from Jab We Met, or how about that white chikankari kurta with a little black design of Alia Bhatt in 2 states? That’s how I’ve gathered 9 chikankari styles from the movies to paps clicks for you.
Yellow Chikankari Kurti Of Geet From Jab We Met
Ye ishq haye! We did fall in love with the pretty georgette short chikankari kurti of Geet when she eloped with Aditya to find the love of her life, Anshuman.
The flowy straight kurta that she paired with navy blue jeans was everyone’s favorite. Also, the golden hoop earrings were a perfect match.
So, if you want to recreate that iconic look, here’s an affordable yet similar option straight out from one of the best places in Lucknow to revive your inner Geet!
Alizey’s black Kurta From Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
Anushka Sharma’s character as Alizey in ADHM was surely badass, and so were her outfits. One of my favorites was the long black embroidered kurta. While looking for the same kurta, I got a similar-looking chikankari kurta. I found the rest of the outfit and shoes to complete the look!
Just as bold as Alizey was, her outfits were indeed something you should definitely try. I have a few more Alizey outfits, but if you have something, let me know so I can add it.
Ananya’s Off White Chikankari Kurti In 2 States
Ananya’s outfits were absolutely gorgeous. Alia Bhatt wore multiple kurtas in 2 States because Krish was slightly uncomfortable with her dressing style. Ah! Women in love!
Well, her off-white kurta with grey embroidery was literally one of the best. She paired it with a navy denim vest. As shown, it’ll be a great fit for college or routine shopping.
Ananya’s Black and White Chikankari Kurti In 2 States
Another kurti Alia Bhatt wore in 2 States was when she met Krish’s mother at lunch before breaking up with him.
Yes, the same kurta is used at the start of the song, Chandaniya. Although the scene made me cry, her kurta was one thing I kept looking at.
Mahira Khan’s Peach Kurti In Raees
The Bollywood debut of the beauty queen of Pakistan in Raees was unexpected yet outstanding. I personally liked her peach kurta in her first appearance on the screen. The scene where Shahrukh accidentally cuts her kite.
Even though it wasn’t a chikankari kurta, I thought, why not search for it? And I’m proud to tell you that I did find it! I found an unstitched piece, so you can get it stitched accordingly.
Paparazzi Clicks
Have you noticed how many times some celebs wear chikankari when traveling? They opt for more comfortable clothes that are breathable and have soft fabrics for long-hour flights.
Chikankari is mostly done on soft fabrics such as muslin, cotton, etc., making it an ideal choice for style with comfort. You can check out these fits for your next day out.
Tripti Dimri In White Muslin Chikankari Kurti
Tripti Dimri was spotted wearing a stunning white chikankari kurti with light blue denim. While you can get the same kurti in different colors, I believe white has a different aura. White goes with everything and can be perfect for when you’re in the mood to wear something simple.
It’s so clear that Tripti is wearing the original chikankari, and not because she’s a celeb and can afford to, but because I’ve seen many celebs wearing fake chikankari.
Deepika Padukone In Blue Chikankari Kurta
Remember the time when people were going gaga over the blue chikankari kurta Deepika wore? That long kurta was nothing but perfection. She carried the look so well with the white chikankari palazzos.
Deepika’s short hairstyle was like a cherry on top. But we can tie a messy bun or a ponytail for long-haired girlies to complete the look.
Jahanvi Kapoor’s Peach Kurti With Palazzos
As I said, celebs love to wear chikankari kurtis while traveling as they look stylish yet comfortable. Jahanvi Kapoor looked mesmerizing while wearing a peach chikankari kurta with palazzos.
Her look was seamless, and it was obvious she looked comfortable in that. The long kurta was flowy, and the fabric was muslin as much as I could see.
Kriti Sanon In Black And White Chikankari Set
Black is the color you can never go wrong with. Be it a day or a night out, wearing black can always amp up your personality. When I saw Kriti Sanon in this truly mesmerizing all-black outfit, all I could think of was to buy one for myself as well.
Her look is completed with the black kolapuris and she was definitely slaying! Kriti’s height complemented her outfit choice, but that’s the beauty of chikankari. Regardless of their height or body type, anyone can wear them and look absolutely gorgeous.
I found the replica of this look, and let me tell you, the quality is top-notch! At this price, both the palazzos and kurta were a match made in heaven.
So this was all! I hope my finds helped you in some way, and if you have any outfit ideas or any celeb of your choice that you want me to add to the list, do let me know in the comments.
