In the sun-kissed embrace of Goa, the wedding of Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani unfolded like a dream, marking the year’s first celebrity wedding with a splash of understated glamour. The event, attended by the crème de la crème of Bollywood including Bhumi Pednekar, Ananya Panday, Shahid Kapoor, Samantha, Trisha, Upasana Kamineni, Varun Dhawan, and many others, made it the spring wedding of the season.
The ceremonies were a showcase of contemporary fashion and tradition, with the couple donning breathtaking pastel ensembles by Tarun Tahiliani. Rakul Preet was the epitome of bridal beauty in an ivory and pastel pink lehenga, exquisitely hand-embroidered and adorned with delicate, three-dimensional floral motifs. Her outfit was a masterpiece of elegance, featuring delicate tulle sleeves embellished with pearls and crystals, crowned with a gracefully structured veil, setting a new benchmark for pastel bridal fashion.
Decoding Her Nuanced Makeup Look
For her wedding look, Rakul Preet embraced a modern, pastel vibe with a nod to minimal beauty. Her makeup, a delicate palette of soft pinks and neutrals, highlighted her natural beauty and elevated her features with a soft, subtle hand. Nude and pink tones on the lips and cheeks added a soft, rosy glow, while the eyes were kept natural with nude eyeshadow, brushed-up brows, and mascara, enhancing her features in a subtle yet impactful way.
The monochromatic theme perfectly complemented her Tarun Tahiliani lehenga. When it comes to what she used, we can only make an educated guess – high-quality products with high-performing formulas that would stay on all day, each of which embraced a pastel palette.
We suggest starting with a base of the MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Mattifine 12hr Shine-Control Primer to ensure a smooth canvas.
Then, enhance the skin’s natural glow with Bobbi Brown Tint for that perfect dewy look that won’t get cake after a few hours of celebration.
To capture her soft, rosy glow, apply Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush by rare beauty on the cheeks. Blend it well for that flushed-from-within look!
For the lips, choose a nude from Charlotte Tilbury, I suggest Pillow Talk; it adds just the right touch of colour and depth to the look while keeping the whole thing understated.
For the eyes, maintain a natural but defined look by using the Huda Beauty Naughty Nude Eyeshadow Palette, which offers a range of nude and soft pink eyeshadows that complement the overall pastel theme.
Define the brows with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Gel for a brushed-up, natural look, and finish the eyes with a coat of Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara to subtly enhance the lashes.
When it comes to hair, Rakul Preet’s hair was styled in a sleek bun, a timeless choice that complements most traditional Indian bridal looks. To achieve this hairstyle, use a smoothing hair serum like the Opti-Care Smooth Straight Professional Split End Hair Serum to keep the hair sleek and in place, followed by a strong-hold hairspray, such as the Kerastase Discipline Hairspray.
The essence of the wedding was further captured in the choice of varmalas, with pink roses echoing the colour scheme of their outfits. This thoughtful detail added an additional layer of romanticism to the already picturesque setting. As spring weddings bloom on the horizon, Singh sets a trend that champions the beauty of the understated – a look that’s not just seen but felt in the heart.
