Rakshabandhan is about celebrating the
bond with your sibling in style. And what better way to do that than by showing up in coordinated, head-turning outfits that scream festive glam? Now, deciding what to wear can be tricky, but don’t stress. Bollywood, as always, has our back. And this time, we’re not looking at their on-screen avatars. We’re taking cues from real-life celeb siblings who nailed their Rakshabandhan OOTDs effortlessly. From elegant ethnic ensembles to trendy Indo-western looks, these B-town brothers and sisters knew exactly how to dress for the occasion, and more importantly, how to do it together.
So, if you and your sibling are still figuring out your festive fits, look no further. These stylish duos understood the assignment, and we’re here to decode their looks for your Rakhi inspiration.
Sara Ali Khan, Ibrahim Ali Khan
When it comes to celebrity sibling goals, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan rarely miss the mark, but especially last year, they completely stole the spotlight with their Rakshabandhan celebration. The duo was all over the news, not only for their adorable bond but for their effortlessly stylish festive looks. Sara embraced tradition with a vibrant yellow salwar suit, intricately detailed with gota-patti work that added a playful pop of color. Her subtle makeup, a small red bindi, and a half-tied hairdo brought the whole look together with understated elegance. Ibrahim, on the other hand, kept it classic and cool in a crisp white shirt and dark denims, exuding laid-back charm. The contrast in their outfits worked perfectly; while Sara brought the festive glam, Ibrahim balanced it with casual sophistication. And together, they looked like a Rakhi-ready duo straight out of a fashion campaign.

Arjun Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor
Over the years, Arjun Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, and Khushi Kapoor have turned Rakshabandhan into a beautiful blend of family warmth and understated festive fashion, especially in the last few years when their style was featured across media. In 2023, Arjun kept it effortlessly cool in a black shirt paired with cargo pants, setting a relaxed, yet sharp tone for the day, as he shared candid family photos during the celebration. Khushi opted for a casual ensemble, favoring comfort with chic simplicity, with her minimalistic outfit providing the perfect balance next to her siblings.

Meanwhile, Janhvi stood out in earlier years. Back in 2020, she chose a breezy monotone yellow kurta‑palazzo set with floral embroidery, lightweight dupatta, silver jhumkas, and ivory juttis - a look that radiated festive cheer without overdoing it. In another snapshot of the sisters’ elegance (though not strictly Rakhi), fashion sites have lauded Janhvi’s glittery silver saree and subtle blush looks, and Khushi’s romantic sky‑blue saree or sheer whites with delicate jewelry, proving they can redefine elegance even in sarees. Through casual family gatherings or ethnic shine, what truly connects their Rakshabandhan looks is authenticity: each sibling dressing in their own style, yet together creating a picture of festive harmony.

Ananya Panday, Ahaan Panday
Ananya Panday and her cousin-brother Ahaan Panday share a bond that’s equal parts friendship and sibling love. And Rakshabandhan has always been a special day for them, whether celebrated together or virtually. In 2020, when the pandemic kept families apart, Ananya took to social media to share a heartfelt post for Ahaan, writing, “the one who fights with me the most but fights for me even more.” Along with the sweet message, she posted a screenshot of their virtual Rakhi celebration, proving that even distance couldn’t dull their connection. Needless to say, both looked beautiful!

In 2022, Ananya shared a beautiful Rakshabandhan post for Ahaan, calling him her “first friend”, a phrase that perfectly captured their lifelong bond. Alongside a carousel of photos, she wrote, “Love you endlessly, Ahaani. Happy Rakhi to my first friend.” Ananya embraced a minimalist festive look in a soft pastel green kurta set with a sheer matching dupatta, her hair tied neatly in a low bun for a clean, elegant finish. Ahaan Panday kept it classic in a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves and light blue jeans, staying true to his effortless, laid-back style.

Cut to 2024, and the cousin duo once again came together to mark Rakshabandhan, this time making headlines for their simple yet impactful style. Ananya opted for a fresh, fuss-free look in a white mulmul cotton kurta set, featuring delicate floral embroidery and scalloped lace detailing at the hem, paired with matching white straight-fit bottoms. She styled it with a neat bun, subtle makeup, and tiny stud earrings. Ahaan, dressed casually yet sharply, stood beside her with his signature laid-back charm.
