Has your closet has been staying away from kurtas with salwars and churidaars thinking that you’re too young for it because that’s what your mom wears on a daily basis? Then these pictures of celeb kids and stars-to-be Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan will make you rethink your choices. The budding fashion icons, Janhvi (21-years-old) and Sara (24-years-old) may belong to the glam world but when it comes to comfort dressing, they’re often seen wearing one outfit a lot…
… a basic kurta set! We’re really enjoying this #WinningAtTwinning kind of situation for two reasons. One, we get to see the casual side of the actresses-to-be (which is not a regular thing for non-Mumbaikars like us). Two, they’re making salwars and churidaars look cool again, and so effortlessly!
Here are six of their ‘girl next door’ looks that prove that mommy-approved street style fashion does exist.
Janhvi Kapoor
For some easy-breezy fashion, oh, I mean salwar inspiration, Janhvi Kapoor is your muse.
1. Rainbows Are Real
Pair your white salwar or palazzos with a multi-coloured tie and dye kurta, and well, that’s it! It’s all the statement you need to look your casual best in white basics.

2. Pretty In Patiala
Up your street style game with a Patiala salwar, just like Janhvi. You can style it with your short kurtis and even with tunics for a fusion-friendly style. Don’t forget a dupatta to complete your look.

3. Embroidery Ecstacy
