Maximalist style has never gone out of style. Aside from clothing, accessorizing one’s ethnic look is an easy method to improve it. We’re bound to re-use and return to classic pieces originally owned by our mothers and grandmothers as more intimate weddings take place this year. While some may consider this to be outdated, celebrities have found simple ways to update and glam up their looks. Layered necklaces aren’t just a western jewelry style. An age-old approach for improving one’s ethnic look is to layer more on top of attractive big pieces. And now it’s been revitalized by our favorite Bollywood divas, and we’re following suit!
Sonam Kapoor, who is always on top of the latest trends, wore an ornate double necklace that included a spectacular choker that opened up into a scalloped pattern with precious stones and then into layers of gold. She went all out with this outfit, layering it over a deep purple lehenga to make the gold pop even more.
Deepika Padukone wore a choker necklace over a rani pink Sabyasachi saree, as she always does to amp up her looks. She wore it with a striking ruby necklace and an old-school lengthy pearl necklace.
If the looks above are too great for you and you don’t like gold jewelry, we recommend looking up Kriti Sanon’s style. The actress dressed down her white indo-western ensemble with layered oxidized silver hefty statement necklaces, giving her a more youthful and fashionable look.
The model and yoga instructor tried out the trend as well. Her take on the stacked ethnic necklace featured oxidized silver temple jewelry with emeralds carved between the layers. Malla’s regal desi outfit was enhanced by a striking choker coupled with a lengthier piece.
Tara Sutaria is your muse if you’re looking for inspiration for a bridal look to nail this style. In a spectacular gold choker with rubies lining, the Tadap actress looked royal, combined with a larger necklace that flawlessly covered up her plunging cleavage. On your wedding day, don’t be afraid to go all out with a statement maang-tikka and matching earrings.
