‘Tis (finally) the season. Even indoors and in a low-key fashion, we plan to make the most of Christmas and leave no doubt, we plan to be dressed up to the nines for it. For those of you who have been on the fence about decking up, the good news is that there is still time to cop some brilliant finds. For those oomph-inducing outfit ideas that will truly make it a merry Christmas, we stalked some of our favourite Bollywood celebrities for inspiration and they didn’t disappoint.
Amp Up Your Christmas Look, Bollywood Style
Below, a lowdown on chic outfit ideas that will make your at-home, virtual, close-knit soirée an affair to remember.
Layers FTW
A number of parts in the country have been hit by that cold December wave, meaning taking your coats out of the closet is the utilitarian+uber-stylish route you can (and should) take. Layer your trusted outerwear with a pick from your party-ready dresses à la Deepika Padukone or take cues from Rhea Kapoor for rocking a tailored outfit. The hero of the Christmas outfit? You guessed it. Should you be missing some separates, scroll to take a peek.
Metallic Leanings
Ain’t no party without some sparkle and for those of you who are craving some shimmer this time of the year, Sonam Kapoor and Malaika Arora’s demure selections are serving major sartorial lessons. Keep it restricted to one separate like the former or go all out like the latter’s sequin-dripped attire. Stellar makeup finds optional, but as always, highly recommended!

Dress It Up!
As a colour that is synonymous with Christmas, red can be the ideal pick for you to get shindig-ready in style. Experiment with either shade in the spectrum, choosing from a scarlet version like Kareena Kapoor Khan’s off-the-shoulder tiered dress from AMUR or picking a rust-hued iteration like Janhvi Kapoor’s Alexandre Vauthier number. And while you are at it, don’t forget to add a dab of lip colour to make a stunning Christmas appearance.
Featuring Black
The achromatic non-colour is largely considered apt for cocktail hour and one look at Disha Patani and Alia Bhatt’s alluring outfits (inclusive of rad thigh-high boots) is enough to tell you why. In LBDs alone, you can experiment with silhouettes, volume, design elements and more, taking the route that emphasises your personal style. Of course, there are always chic options in tops to fall back on, should you be looking.
Chunky Knitwear
Brave the cold whilst putting your best foot forward. The solution? Knitwear. From trying out a layered look with pants and outerwear to putting them together with skirts like Priyanka Chopra and Karisma Kapoor, it’s a Christmas look worth trying. Getting out of your pyjamas sounds like a massive feat? You don’t have to; just replace them with a festive version and add winter woollies on top! Scroll for finds right away.
