Press Article: Embrace Your Unique Style this Festive Season, Says Stylist Lakshita Sehgal
As the festive season approaches, the annual rush to replicate celebrity looks begins anew, with many asking, “What did Alia wear?” or “What lehenga was Janhvi styled in?” Stylist Lakshita Sehgal urges women to shift focus from celebrity mimicry to dressing for their own body types.
Sehgal emphasizes that the aesthetic seen on Bollywood stars is the product of extensive styling teams and not simply off-the-rack purchases. “Celebrities have an army of stylists and makeup artists adjusting their outfits hours before an event. Expecting the same look to work on you is unrealistic,” she asserts. This “copy-paste fashion” often leaves women dissatisfied as they squeeze into outfits designed for different body types.
Sehgal shares a cautionary tale about a client who tried to emulate Ananya Panday’s plunging neckline, only to feel uncomfortable throughout the event. Instead, she suggests women should start with their own body shapes to find flattering styles. Her recommendations include:
- Pear-shaped: A-line lehengas with embellished blouses.
- Apple-shaped: Empire-line kurtas and long jackets.
- Rectangle-shaped: Pleated lehengas and belted sarees.
- Hourglass: Mermaid lehengas and fitted blouses.
- Petite: High-waist lehengas and shorter blouses.
Sehgal emphasizes that investing in a tailor or stylist is crucial for creating outfits that enhance one’s unique figure. “Remember, confidence is the ultimate accessory. When you dress for your body, you stand out—not as a watered-down version of a celebrity, but as your true self,” she concludes.
As festive celebrations beckon, let’s celebrate our individuality over celebrity trends.
