A wistful Pakeezah-esque look, with an accented sharara kurta
This one’s straight out of a 1970s Bollywood romance. Think Pakeezah; imagine a wistful Meena Kumari pining for a better life… In this inky black tulle kurti-sharara, by Rimple & Harpreet, it’s easy to imagine actress Shehnaaz Gill as a modern-day Meena Kumari, with her beautifully adorned bridal couture outfit, that features Vases of Plenty artworks with floral bouquets inspired by archival Jacobean textile fragments, blending romance with heritage craftsmanship.
The drama of the inky blue outfit contrasts with the jewels with emeralds and polki
The tulle dupatta and an embroidered dushala has the kind of needlework referenced from archival suchi zari Najeemabadi shawls, adding depth and a historical perspective to the look. The suite of jewellery, a regal ruby choker set with Moissanite Polkis and emerald stringing forms the centrepiece, while handcrafted kaanphools with rubies, emeralds, and Moissanite Polkis include with emerald beads and freshwater pearls. A ruby and emerald nath with a classic pearl chain and an emerald and Moissanite Polki maang tikka complete this bridal silhouette. Rings laden with Moissanite Polkis, green meenakari, and emeralds add richness to the outfit.
A pale bridal lehenga with chinoiserie
In her second look, Shehnaaz Gill wears a pale birch tulle lehenga rendered with layered floral art inspired by a 19 th -century Chinoiserie textile from the RAH archives. The intricate botanical motifs are interspersed with with geometrical shapes.
No wedding look is complete without a polki set
The statement necklace and earrings by RAH Jewels brings the brilliance of Moissanite Polkis with zircons, while a striking bajuband crafted entirely in Moissanite Polkis and two intricate haathphools – one featuring a blend of Moissanite Polkis and zircons, and the other accented with Moissanite Polkis and soft rose quartz – add layers of refined detail.
A regal Mughal inspired lehenga with an ornate dupatta
Draped in a pale gilded ivory georgette kalidar, Shehnaaz looks every inch a princess from the grand Mughal era. The flowing skirt is literally filled with designs inspired by Mughal-era artefacts, inlay work, and architecture. It is paired with an embroidered choli and a tulle dupatta that adds softness and movement to the outfit.
Hand-painted miniature necklace with polki adds grandeur
An opulent suite of jewellery, with a statement necklace at the centre features hand-painted miniature artwork, embellished with vibrant rubies, luminous Moissanite Polkis, and Russian emerald substitutes. There are also exquisite Jadau jhumkis with emeralds, rubies, and Polki diamonds, finished with delicate pearl stringing and an attached five-layer ear chain. Statement rings featuring Moissanite Polkis, green meenakari, and emeralds complete this regal bride’s look.
