Durga Puja brings with it a familiar festive wardrobe of silk sarees, statement jewellery, elaborate blouses and the unmistakable appeal of traditional Indian dressing. At Mumbai’s North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja celebrations, this year’s celebrity appearances have offered plenty of inspiration, with actors embracing everything from vibrant sarees to intricately embroidered ethnic ensembles. As the festivities draw to a close, these are some of the looks that have caught our attention so far.
Against this festive backdrop, a few celebrity ensembles have stood out for their vivid colour palettes, thoughtful detailing and fresh interpretations of traditional Indian wear.
Kajol’s Pink And Orange Drape
Kajol made a striking appearance at the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal on Vijayadashami in a dual-toned chiffon saree that combined vibrant pink and orange. The saree featured a gold gota patti border with mirror embellishments, paired with a matching pink blouse featuring a deep neckline and an open-back design.
A polki choker, matching jhumkas and black glass bangles completed the ensemble. Her slicked-back bun and understated festive makeup allowed the colours and detailing to do the talking.
Alia Bhatt’s Fuchsia Statement
Alia Bhatt brought a brighter palette to the celebrations during Mahanavami. At the same pandal, the actor wore a fuchsia-pink saree with gold detailing, styled with a turquoise-blue puff-sleeved blouse. Traditional Bengali draping and gold jewellery lent the ensemble a festive finish, while a floral bun complemented the overall look.

The contrasting blouse was particularly effective, demonstrating how an unexpected colour pairing can refresh a classic saree silhouette without taking away from its traditional appeal.
Nysa Devgan’s Embroidered Elegance
Nysa Devgan opted for a softer interpretation of festive dressing in a pale-yellow ethnic ensemble by Archana Jaju. Multicoloured embroidery around the neckline, borders and dupatta added detail to the light-toned outfit, while statement earrings and a delicate bindi kept the styling traditional. The look offered an alternative to the heavily embellished saree, showing how embroidery can bring occasionwear appeal to a coordinated ethnic ensemble.
Jaya Bachchan’s Classic Pink
Jaya Bachchan also made an appearance in a bright pink saree with a subtle contrasting border. Layered necklaces, earrings and bangles gave the ensemble a traditional finish without relying on elaborate surface embellishment. Her look was a reminder that festive dressing can make an impression through colour, jewellery and the drape itself.
Tanuja And Tanishaa’s Traditional Touch
Tanuja and Tanishaa Mukerji brought their own interpretations of festive elegance to the celebrations. Tanuja wore a yellow saree, while Tanishaa chose a pastel-blue saree with a broad silver border. Their appearances alongside Kajol highlighted the family traditions that remain central to the annual gathering.
