The sweet jingle jangle of 'that' bangle set, the lustre of 'that' red saree, the soulful intricacy behind 'that' mehendi, and the memories that just keep coming back. Ah, it's that time of the year again when every married woman's heart skips a beat, reminiscing about her journey to becoming a bride.
With a nirjal fast and a wish in mind on the fourth day of the dark fortnight, wives (husbands, please catch up) with much love, perform rituals for their husband's longer life.
And when we talk about Karwachauth, it's impossible to overlook Bollywood's impact, right? Filmmakers like Yash Chopra and Karan Johar will find it hard to start writing a script without a nod to the age-old custom.
Remember the iconic "Bole Chudiyan" song from the Bollywood classic "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham"? This heartwarming tribute to the joyous Karwa Chauth celebrations featured Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor Khan. In another cinematic gem, "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (DDLJ), Kajol as Simran, observed a fast for Shah Rukh Khan's character Raj before their marriage. On this day, she adorned herself in resplendent traditional attire and bedecked herself with regal jewellery, embracing the occasion with grace and unwavering devotion.
Even the subtle romance between Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' to the heartwarming portrayal of long-distance Karwa Chauth between Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini in "Baghban". Dear Bollywood, you’ve got us swooning.
Delve into this eclectic selection of 5 Karwa Chauth Looks to own right now!

If you want to go the traditional route, consider wearing stunning red lehengas. Pair them with traditional kundan or polki sets, which include elaborate necklaces, chokers, rings and earrings. These intricate pieces add a touch of regal charm to your lehenga look.

If you're looking for a classic ethnic fit, opt for kurta sets. Delicate jhumkas or chandbali earrings, along with designer juttis, can enhance your overall appearance without overwhelming the outfit.

If you love sarees but find draping them a hassle, pick pre-draped sarees. To enhance this style, choose statement necklaces and earrings that match the saree's color palette. Kundan or pearl jewellery can add an extra layer of sophistication.

For those who prefer a mix of modern and ethnic aesthetics, pant sets are a great option. Complement this fusion look with contemporary jewellery, such as sleek and stylish dangler earrings or geometric-inspired pieces along with stylish potlis.

And if comfort is your priority, go for designer kaftans, a relaxed yet stylish choice. Pair them with chunky statement hoops or statement rings. Also, add a touch of boldness with wedges that perfectly complement the kaftan's simplicity.
