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

Explore Azura’s curated range of unique color palettes that stand out at every event.


👗 6. Try Pret Lehengas

No time for fittings or delays? Our pret lehengas are ready to ship in 3–4 days, crafted with modern aesthetics and flattering cuts — perfect for last-minute plans without compromising on style.


💫 Final Thoughts

Styling a lehenga isn’t just about tradition — it’s a chance to express your personality. Mix silhouettes, skip clichés, and own your look with confidence. At Azura by Raunika, every lehenga is designed to help you do just that.
