There’s something undeniably magical about Indian ethnic fashion. Our rich colours, intricate embroidery, and centuries-old craftsmanship have captivated the world. So, it’s no surprise that when Hollywood stars slip into saris or lehengas, it creates a moment.

From red carpet appearances to wedding receptions, here’s a closer look at the celebrities who’ve embraced Indian fashion and made it their own, one show-stopping look at a time.

Zendaya

When Zendaya stepped out in a Rahul Mishra sari, it was a moment.

Worn at the grand opening of Mumbai’s Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, the hand-embroidered sari shimmered with every step the star took. The drape, the detailing, the styling, it all just clicked, and Zendaya carried it with her usual grace and confidence.

Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid made jaws drop at the same event in an intricate ivory and gold sari by design veterans Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.

The old-school glamour of the blouse paired with the refined sari made for a look that felt both timeless and fresh. She looked positively radiant, and completely at ease in the silhouette.

Eva Mendes

Years before Indian fashion became a go-to for global red carpets, Eva Mendes showed us how it’s done. In a 2012 ad campaign for Campari, she wore a soft pink sari that broke the Internet, back when strapless corsets-turned-blouses weren’t a thing

Princess Diana

One of the most respectful cross-cultural fashion choices came from none other than Princess Diana. On a visit to Pakistan, she wore a blue Ritu Kumar salwar kameez. It was simple and elegant, and it said a lot, without saying much.

Sophie Turner

When Sophie Turner attended Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s reception, she showed up in a gold Sabyasachi lehenga. The look was striking, with heavy embroidery and completed with an emerald set, and Sophie’s blonde waves.

Sarah Jessica Parker

In And Just Like That, Sarah Jessica Parker brought Indian couture to Western TV screens by wearing a lehenga from Falguni Shane Peacock. With vibrant colours and rich textures, the outfit was high drama (considering all the hate it got),in true Carrie Bradshaw style.

Pamela Anderson

Back in 2010, Pamela Anderson surprised Indian audiences when she appeared on the reality show Bigg Boss wearing a white sari with silver detailing.
