The haldi ceremony is one of the most joyful wedding rituals, and yellow has always been its star colour; bright, cheerful, and traditional. But Bollywood stars are giving it a fresh twist by moving beyond yellow
Our celebrity idols are donning ivory, blue, and fuchsia, and adding bling to the wedding ritual known for its yellow stipulations. Here’s how our Bollywood favourite stars are reinventing the haldi fashion.
Although many think the colour is yellow, white has quietly become the new favourite for haldi ceremonies. It is such a pretty transition from the traditional colour, yet it stays true to the colour linearity. Katrina Kaif and Athiya Shetty show us exactly how to elevate a basic white by incorporating gold.
The actresses wore coordinated flowy white pieces with gold embroidery that are stunning, celebratory, and photo-appropriate. A lovely marriage of the sublime with grandeur could be perfect for brides who have a straightforward yet glamorous aesthetic.

For a fun and striking look, take notes from Parineeti Chopra. Her magenta hued lehenga with a flowy cape-dupatta is colorful, youthful, and full of energy everything you want in a haldi morning. The fuchsia bright hue adds a touch of happiness and gains attention against the yellow décor and marigold background.
A lovely choice for brides who want to maintain tradition with a hint of personality, Parineeti's look reminds us that pinks can work for haldi too!

Blue for haldi? Rakul Preet Singh says yes! In fact, her printed blue lehenga breaks the mold and demonstrates that cooler tones can also shine just as brightly in the morning sun.
We love the modern and fresher breezy feeling of the contemporary print and flowy silhouette in the festive palette of colors. A good choice for bridesmaids or brides who want to turn heads but keep it low key!
For those who prefer to stay within the yellow family but want something new, orange serves as the ideal in-between Kiara Advani’s sunset-orange kurta screams warmth and happiness, while Kriti Kharbanda’s orange separates are modern-chic at its finest.
The two shades represent haldi, yet provide something fresh and unexpected, ideal for brides who love to play with colour.
From gold-dusted whites to jewel tones, Bollywood’s leading ladies have completely changed the look of haldi. So, whether you embrace the soft sophistication or the bold brights, which of these celeb-inspired looks would you wear for haldi?
