What Makes the Perfect Cocktail Night Outfit?

Let’s set the scene! The lights are low. The music’s loud. Camera flashes all around. And the dance floor? Yours! Because this wedding season? We’re not doing simple babe. We’re doing Bollywood glam. This is your Poo from K3G moment. The slow turn. The confident smirk. And maybe a dramatic hair flip. A glitzy sangeet. Or a boujee cocktail night. It’s time to serve looks! And give the kind of entrance that makes everyone pause mid-sentence. And Westside? Here to make sure your outfit delivers main character energy. Drama. But couture. Because if you’re not causing a little drama babe? Are you even attending a wedding?

Now, what’s the vibe for the Sangeet?

Sangeet is your chance to go full glam without apology. Think Kareena in a neon lehenga. Priyanka in Desi Girl mode. Ranveer in sequins just because he can. That’s the level of extra we’re manifesting. Sangeet night is about joy, dance, and drama. And your outfit should reflect that! We’re talking mirrorwork kurtas. Shimmer saris. Sequinned co-ords. Metallic skirts. Embroidered shararas that twirl. Basically, anything that says – I didn’t come to blend in! I came to blind them with my sparkle.

The cocktail party?

Now this is where sophistication flirts with drama. The vibe? Glamorous. A mashup of Sonam Kapoor’s red-carpet and Kiara Advani’s wedding-season glow. Chic. Sultry. And a bit of main-character delusion. Silk dresses. Satin jumpsuits. The off-shoulder gown. Or the Indo-western fit that whispers elegance. Metallic tones? Always yes. Deep reds. Emeralds. Midnight blues. Pure magic under those chandeliers. 

For the men? Now, this is where things get deliciously dramatic. It’s time for sleek tailoring, and I own this confidence! A classic suit. Statement blazer. Or go bold with a printed shirt. Unapologetic glam with a side of sass. Ranveer would be proud!

Accessories. Shoes. And makeup?

Every stunning outfit needs supporting cast! Accessories? Statement. Chunky chandbalis. Sleek metallic clutches. Jhumkas that sparkle under the Sangeet lights. Your outfit’s doing the talking? Jewellery minimal. But if it’s a simpler fit, go big! Like Kareena’s energy in Bole Chudiyaan. 

Sangeet calls for comfy glam. Block heels or embroidered juttis are your BFFs. Cocktail nights? Bring out the strappy heels, patent loafers, or that one pair that screams, “I only sit pretty at the bar.” 

And makeup? This is your shimmer moment! Think Alia Bhatt’s soft glam in Rocky Aur Rani. Or Deepika’s smoky eyes in YJHD. Because darling, if the lights hit you right, someone better be cueing Kabira in the background.

And the final touch?

Confidence! The kind that says – Yes, I did wake up looking this flawless. Strut in like the lights are following you. Because honestly, they are. Whether it’s a sangeet dhol beat or a cocktail clink, you’re the headline, darling. Everyone else? Just the supporting cast. So go on, make your grand entrance. Serve looks that deserve their own soundtrack. And let Westside be your red-carpet partner this wedding season.
