Diwali pooja isn’t just a festival babe. It’s an entry scene! The diyas are twinkling. The lights are sparkling. The aunties are scanning outfits. And somewhere in the background? A KJo track is playing in slow motion. And in that frame… enters you! Outfit on point. Glow unmatched. The flashlights are fairy lights. And the paparazzi are… well… your entire family waiting with their phones out. Westside’s festive collection has basically given us the script for that perfect main-character moment. From dreamy ethnic wear to glam kurta sets, this is the season to look like the heroine of your own Diwali saga.
But wait… what’s the vibe for Diwali pooja?
Think elegant. Not extra. A festive look that’s comfortable enough to sit cross-legged for the full aarti. It’s that perfect balance between divine glow and Pinterest board goals. Soft golds. Warm reds. Dusty pinks. Classic ivory. Basically, the kind of fit that makes everyone do a double-take!
What kind of outfit says fashionably Pooja ready?
A soft anarkali with delicate embroidery? It’s giving ethereal goddess energy. Pair it with statement earrings and juttis, and honestly, you’re glowing brighter than the diyas. A kurta set in muted festive tones with minimal gold detailing? Understated but so elegant. The kind of look that photographs like a dream. Or go a little modern with a saree draped effortlessly with soft waves in your hair and dainty accessories. She’s giving old Bollywood heroine.
Can I add a little drama though?
Oh absolutely. It’s Diwali, not a random Tuesday. Add a bold bindi. A little shimmer on the lids. A touch of sindoor. Red on the lips. And don’t shy away from some gold jewellery that says I came to shine. But here’s the trick. Let one thing be the star. If your outfit is heavy, keep your glam soft. If your outfit is minimal, go bold with the glam. Balance, bestie.
And the accessories?
Bestie a potli bag isn’t just an accessory! It’s a whole character arc. Go for embellished or metallic ones. And sparkle under the fairy lights. Pair it with gold-toned juttis. Or heeled sandals. So you can glide through the night like you’re about to bump into your filmi soulmate in the courtyard. The key is balance. A little shine. A lot of grace. And no outfit malfunctions during aarti!
And for the boys?
Gentlemen, you’re not escaping this glam fest! It’s your time to shine too! Think crisp kurta-pyjama. Ivory. Red. Or earthy tones. Add a smart Nehru jacket or a silk stole for extra flair. Effortlessly classic. Effortlessly charming.
Final touch, darling?
A smile. Because nothing beats that glow of being surrounded by love, lights and laddoos. Your outfit just needs to match the vibe. And Westside’s festive collection? It’s here to make sure your pooja look is iconic. So this Diwali, don’t just light diyas! Light up the room. Dress like your inner desi diva is ready for her big entrance.
