Genelia D’Souza has always had a way of making traditional wear feel fresh, relatable, and aspirational all at once. This time, she stepped into the festive spotlight in an earthy-toned lehenga look that
celebrated both heritage and modernity. With a hand-painted Kalamkari dupatta as the hero and statement silver jewellery to match, her ensemble wasn’t just about looking glamorous; it was about telling a story through craft, colour, and culture.
For her latest look, Genelia D’Souza wore a regal lehenga set by Aamra by Lavanya. The look centred around a brown lehenga set priced at Rs 54,000, paired with a standout Kalamkari dupatta. The lehenga featured subtle striped shimmer detailing, which caught the light and gave the silhouette a luxurious, fluid movement. But it was the dupatta that became the focal point of the ensemble. With hand-drawn Kalamkari artistry depicting birds, the drape added not just visual appeal but also a touch of storytelling and symbolism. It was a nod to heritage craftsmanship, reinterpreted for today’s festive wardrobe.

To complement the earthy richness of the lehenga, Genelia chose a bold choker set with matching earrings, stacked bangles, and a statement ring that created layers of traditional glamour. The silver and gold tones offset the warm browns of the outfit beautifully, while also amplifying the artisanal detailing of the dupatta.
Her glam stayed true to her signature style: fresh, glowing, and unfussy. With softly defined eyes, a dewy base, and a neutral lip, the makeup balanced the richness of the outfit and jewellery. Her hair was styled in soft waves and pulled back partially, framing her face while letting the dupatta and choker command attention.
