In a world where the memorability of your wedding is directly proportional to how extravagant your lehenga is, a new generation of brides are keen to make a sustainable sartorial statement — they are switching out their designer lehengas for more sensible staples that offer multiple wears instead of being relegated to the back of their wardrobes. Actor Tapsee Pannu’s red salwar kurta set, which hawk-eyed netizens spotted in a recent video that was leaked online, is emblematic of this shift.

“Tapsee’s wardrobe choices represent what new-age brides are focusing on — the ability to move freely, dance and enjoy themselves at their wedding. At the same time, her salwar kurta can easily be re-styled in a number of ways, which will allow her to keep wearing it post the wedding, without looking overdressed,” shares image consultant Mihika Bhanot.
