The evergreen actress and dancer Madhuri Dixit is at the top of her game, following the success of her digital debut The Fame Game, a Netflix series wherein she delivers a punchy performance as the protagonist Anamika Anand. The Dixit helmed series discusses the dark side of fame in the seemingly perfect life of stars – with Anamika Anand (Madhuri Dixit) – at its center. Anand, in the series, is constantly seen battling the challenges of ageing, and its impact on her superstardom, all whilst trying to break through silos, in an industry famed to harbor an ageist attitude towards its female stars. Added to the blend is: a dysfunctional marriage, troublesome adolescents, and a controlling mother.
The series gains an extra layer of authenticity with the exquisite wardrobe put together by couturier Anamika Khanna and costume designer Samidha Wangnoo. Their collaborative efforts resulted in Madhuri looking stunning in each frame, with the viewers going crazy over Anamika’s extravagant slash versatile wardrobe. From wearing pastels at home and cooking khichdi for her son to being dressed to perfection in a spectacular red ensemble for an award show, the aura and power Anamika emanates is hard to miss. Inspired by an array of her fashion outings, we decided to compile a list of 10 outfit ideas, one can borrow when dressing up for a wedding function.
1 Pre-wedding Puja
This vibrant three-piece set features red soft silk draped skirt, paired with an embroidered crop top and jacket. The highlight of the design is the blend of bright colors that bring out a sense of excitement. While the floral printed lining on the jacket signifies attention to detail. All in all, it is the perfect look for your pre-wedding puja.
2 Mehendi
Green is an auspicious color, popularly worn by the ladies, on the day of their mehendi ceremony. This dark green floor length kalidar ensemble can be an elegant outfit for you to wear at a mehendi function. The embroidery on the jacket is pristine and the flattering silhouette will make you look slender while tastefully embracing your curves.
3 Haldi
We love everything about this printed co-ord cape set – from the unconventional floral print on the garment, and the flowy drapes to the matching potli bag. If you are looking for the perfect yellow outfit for your haldi, this is the right pick.
4 Cocktail
This sexy black sequinned number with feather details is an ideal look for your cocktail night. Not only does it highlights your collar bones, making you look slender while accentuating the waist, its feather details around the bust and calves help create the perfect hourglass shape.
5 Wedding Guest
There’s something extremely chic about a tailored suit. In the series, Madhuri serves many jacket looks back-to-back, each jacket having a distinct pattern and style of embroidery. Coming to the real life, a jacket like this thrown over a matching dress or worn with a co-ord set underneath, makes for the perfect festive look, without running the risk of outshining the bride.
6 Sangeet
This voluminous classic red ensemble comes with sharara pants and an almost transparent matching jacket teamed with a heavily embroidered blouse with straps. Wear this on a dance night and be assured that every move you make will be an exaggerated one, owing to the garment’s construction. However, do remember to pin it at the right spots before stepping on the stage.
7 Reception
Red is a dominant color in Madhuri’s wardrobe throughout the series. Though Dixit wears some envious outfits in the series, we particularly fell for this beautiful three-piece set. What makes this set a stand-out is how precisely it has been tailored, keeping the surface development subtle yet elaborate. Wearing this at the reception will make anyone feel no less a movie star.
8 Pre-wedding Dinner
Serving some major spring vibes, Dixit looked gobsmacking in this black floral maxi dress. This could be a great outfit to wear for your pre-wedding dinner as it is festive and elegant, despite being extremely easy-breezy.
9 A Fit For All Occasions
This ivory lehenga with a peach tone is the personification of elegance at its finest. With a simple design like this, you can wear it to any occasion without having to worry about being overdressed.
10 Court Wedding
We absolutely adore this maroon anarkali set Madhuri wore, a perfect dress to be worn for a courthouse wedding, style it with a pair of statement rings, and you’re ready to dazzle. Now that we have listed our favorites, we can’t wait to hear about yours. Let us know in the comments which look stole your heart.
