Indian celebrities and prominent figures continue to showcase traditional ethnic fashion and heritage crafts in preparation for the festive season. Earlier trends featured actresses such as Hina Khan, Shraddha Arya, Shivangi Joshi, and Erica Fernandes in various ensembles, including shimmery kurta sets and Anarkali silhouettes. Genelia Deshmukh also participated in Janmashtami celebrations wearing a red embroidered kurta featuring heritage techniques like zari and zardozi. As the festive period progressed toward Navratri, the focus expanded to include specific beauty trends, such as the use of gajras and ghungroos, and a shift toward the inherent beauty of handwoven textiles. Designer Vaishali S has emphasized fabrics like chanderi, khun, jamdani, and maheshwari, utilizing structural techniques rather than excessive embroidery. Recent celebrity looks for Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri include Surbhi Jyoti in a pastel pink embroidered kurta, Sharvari Wagh in a white-and-gold Anarkali, and Mrunal Thakur in a peachy-mauve tissue saree. Recent highlights include Nita Ambani wearing a wine-red Banarasi saree with gold and ivory motifs to celebrate the anniversary of Swadesh, and actress Rupali Suri showcasing the versatility of silk sarees in shades of red, peach, green, and orange. Beyond apparel, the festive season has brought attention to heritage crafts and jewelry. This includes the promotion of Geographical Indication (GI) tagged products such as Puneri Pagadi headwear, Pochampally Ikat textiles, Thewa gold and glass artwork, and Kashmir Pashmina shawls. Additionally, jewelry brands like Palmonas have introduced 9KT gold collections featuring laboratory-grown diamonds for festive gifting. As the season moves toward Karwa Chauth, fashion trends have shifted toward maximalist looks and the repurposing of bridal wear. Actress Janhvi Kapoor recently showcased an Anamika Khanna lehenga featuring Gujarati-inspired prints, intricate threadwork, and mirror detailing. ~~To adapt heavy wedding lehengas for festive occasions, styling suggestions include removing the cancan to reduce volume or swapping heavy bridal dupattas for lighter, contrasting net versions.~~
