Mouni Roy

Mouni in magenta is everything. This ruched, floor-length gown with its delicate embellishments was a total showstopper, but it was the trailing dupatta at her collar that took it to the next level.

Leighton Meester

Leighton brought some serious forest-green glamour to the SAG carpet. Between the strapless crocheted column gown and the olive scarf draped like a dupatta, the look felt both romantic and high-fashion.

Gal Gadot

Gadot looked effortlessly polished in a bold red beaded gown at the Oscars after-party. The dress, detailed with black florals and silver beads, was perfectly balanced by a soft, matching dupatta at her neck.

Kriti Sanon

Floating into view in soft lavender, Kriti nailed the 'ethereal' brief. The combination of a structured cutout corset and a light-as-air chiffon skirt created a perfect balance. She kept it effortless with a loosely draped dupatta, making the entire fairytale outfit feel totally wearable.

Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina absolutely owned the TIME100 Next gala in custom Versace. She wore a liquid-silver chainmail gown that caught the light with every move, topped off with a matching metallic dupatta that felt more like jewellery than fabric.
