How to Style a Lehenga for a Modern Look
Lehengas have long been the crown jewel of Indian ethnic fashion. But today’s fashionistas are rewriting the rules — mixing tradition with a bold, modern twist. Whether it’s a wedding, festive function, or cocktail party, styling your lehenga in a fresh way can instantly elevate your presence. Here’s how to make your lehenga look contemporary and effortlessly stylish.
👚 1. Go Minimal with the Blouse
Instead of heavily embroidered cholis, opt for:
-
Crop tops with modern cuts
-
Corset-style blouses
-
Off-shoulder or one-shoulder designs
At Azura by Raunika, our lehengas feature blouses that are both edgy and elegant — no extra tailoring needed.
🧥 2. Ditch the Dupatta (Or Wear It Differently)
Want a hands-free look? Try:
-
Draping the dupatta like a cape
-
Wearing it across one shoulder and belting it
-
Skipping it completely for a clean, westernized silhouette
Our ready-to-wear lehengas come with styling-friendly dupattas so you can get creative without fuss.
👢 3. Play with Accessories
Give your lehenga a modern spin using:
-
Statement earrings instead of heavy sets
-
A leather or metal belt around the waist
-
Contemporary clutches or sling bags
Keep it minimal but striking — let the outfit breathe.
👠 4. Footwear Matters
Swap juttis for:
-
Block heels
-
Ankle boots
-
Clear strap heels
This adds length to your frame and pairs well with flowy skirts.
🎨 5. Experiment with Color
Move beyond reds and pinks. Opt for:
-
Pastels for daytime elegance
-
Ivory, teal, or burnt orange for a luxe feel
-
Monotone lehengas for a sleek modern touch
