Vaani Kapoor’s blush Ridhi Mehra printed peplum set is enlivened with painterly blooms
Consider taking inspiration from the actor’s effortless outfit and be sure to stand out

A classic paisley print, a wildflower pattern, a blooming lotus or delicate pattern like baby’s breath is utterly idyllic. Florals are a firm festive favourite, regardless of the time of year. This season, florals seemed to have got a painterly treatment, with designers who seem to have borrowed inspiration from Modern Art-era artworks. When applied on classic silhouettes, they exude an air of effortlessness and sophistication. Cue: Vaani Kapoor’s blush Ridhi Mehra printed peplum set. From its peplum style silhouette and soothing shade to the romantic print and intricate crafts, it makes for a romantic and modern take on traditional sharara sets. Ahead, the designer shares its details. Read on.
Did you notice the pearl embroidery on Vaani Kapoor’s peplum top?
“Vaani exudes confidence in a chiffon peplum set in light pink from Ridhi Mehra‘s Nazm collection. Called Laiqa, the ensemble consists of a contemporary peplum top, instead of conventional kurtas. The top is enhanced with intricate embroidery and pearl embellishments around the neckline. The look is paired with matching ghararas bottoms. Adding a little playfulness is the outfit’s printed border and organza frill. While it is paired with a chiffon dupatta, Vaani gave it a miss. When worn with the dupatta, it injects more movement and layer to the look,” shares Ridhi Mehra, describing the actor’s look.
Retaining the romance of the outfit, Kapoor embraced soft tones of pink for her makeup too, featuring a wash of eyeshadow and gloss. Small drop earrings encrusted with uncut diamonds and rubies won her vote for accessorizing the look.
Florals for summertime may not necessarily be a groundbreaking concept, but when worn for winter celebrations, they are guaranteed to stand out in a sea of solids. Then, there’s the promise of comfort with a lightweight chiffon gharara. Mehra reinstates, “It is the perfect outfit for the festive season as it can be styled effortlessly in many ways. I recommend pairing the outfit with statement studs and a choker. Carry an embellished bag to complement the look and it would be the winning look to slay through the festivities.” A pair of comfortable mules, like the ones by Aarti Sethia, will mean you can dance the night away. If Kapoor’s versatile look is of any inspiration to you, invest in the exact same set and statement accessories to amp up your occasion wear collection.
