Mrunal Thakur took a break from the press tour of her movie Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, and traded promotional looks for wedding fits. Thakur was spotted in an anarkali-style kurta and salwar from New Delhi-based designer Heena Kochhar’s eponymous label, at a close friend’s mehendi ceremony. Bringing together colour, craftsmanship and comfort, the set was a perfect pick for a wedding guest look.

Called Hikmat, the set comes from the designer’s 2023 collection, Ham-Nafas. The hero element is the cropped Chanderi silk anarkali teeming with hand-made gota motifs along the panels and yoke. The purple Chanderi silk salwar creates a striking contrast, and also features gota work at the border. A sap green tissue odhani introduced a third hue into the mix, and continues the gota leitmotif. All borders across the outfit also feature the bright gold kiran lace—a mainstay in wedding outfits across North India. The combination proved that bold shades can be worn to daytime wedding celebrations when colour is blocked correctly.
