15+ Holi Celebrity Wardrobe Ideas:
Classic White Looks:
1. Sleeveless Kurta + Salwar
The Farshi salwar (traditional loose trousers) has made a big comeback this year, and you can include the same for trendy Holi Instagram looks too! Take the example of actress and producer Alia Bhatt, who was recently seen in Mumbai wearing the infamous look with a short sleeveless kurti in a matching ‘Cloud Dancer’ shade. Finish with a light dupatta and Mojaris in a similar shade for that soft girl look this year!

2. Tank + Jeans
After the complete Indian look, let’s turn our heads towards another popular choice of Holi party outfits: a classic white tank with blue denim jeans. Seen on actress Diane Penty, this is the combination that is perfect for everybody, men or women!
3. Priyanka Chopra Suit
After the self-embossed work on Bhatt’s kurta, let’s pay attention to the global celeb, Priyanka Chopra Jones, who is seen sporting a cotton kurta with neon detailing on the tiered hem and yoke. This is an amazing inspiration for you if you adore White but also want some of that vibrant Holi fashion to add to your day!
4. Lehenga + Blazer
Rakul Preet Singh carries this Indo-western look impeccably, as the white lehenga matches the blazer. It takes a simple pairing of skirt and top to another level, adding in-depthness and structure to the Holi party outfits.
5. Anarkali
Getting more traditional now, we have a Chanderi Anarkali, such as the one Triptii Dimri is supporting. It is quite a popular choice because of its flowy silhouette, which suits almost every body type. You can opt for a matching dupatta to complete the look, but if you ask me, the voluminous look may work just as perfectly without it on Holi.
6. Effortless Look
The Chikankari Hand-Embroidered Mulmul/Cotton Kurta looks beautiful and soaks the water fast. It also creates just enough drama for Holi!
P.S. You are not missing the evergreen Holi tip of putting oil in the hair before braiding, which is right on entrepreneur Nayva Naveli Nanada’s head, right? A must-activity to perform before playing in the festival, as it helps remove the colors afterwards!
Colorful Holi Looks
7. Banarsi Saree
Kurtas can be more comfortable for many gals, such as myself, who want to run and dodge while playing with colors at the event. But, for many women, sarees are just as comfortable as well. For Holi, instead of a plain white one, look for some prints or colors on top so that it looks just a bit decorated.
Pair the classic piece of Indian heritage with a sleeveless blouse like Sara Ali Khan, or go with a fuller length, according to your comfort.
8. Multicolored Dress
I love printed dresses for Holi celebrity looks. It’s like you have already put on colors before even taking part in the ceremony filled with water and colors. The linen texture and the flowers not only make it fab for a Holi fest fan but also for the upcoming season of spring, which coincides with the festival of colors in India.
9. Pastel Co-Ord
A cotton or linen set is THE fabric for Holi, as it absorbs moisture and sweat quickly. A co-ord set will be chic and on point. Also, don’t forget to add that ‘oomph’ factor to the vibrant Holi fashion with accessories such as the neon pink earrings, just like Shraddha Kapoor.
10. Indian Co-Ord
If you’d like a more Indian version of the fashion, this yellow lehenga set in any pastel shade and a dupatta can work too. It’s just as comfortable but more traditional!
11. Tie and Dye + Denim Shorts
Tie-dye clothes are not just a trend, especially for Holi wardrobe ideas; the multicolored print looks as if you have already been a part of the occasion! Look how Ananya Panday pairs the colorful tee with sneakers in similar shades. Yet another way to upgrade Holi outfits women!
Something Extra: Colorful Pants
If you like the tie-dye top on Ananya Panday above, try these tie-dye pants from Janvi Kapoor! The pastel crop tank matches the pants for a lively look.
12. Printed Flower Set
The colorful cord set on Jacqueline Fernandes seems to fit the vibes of Holi party outfits for me. It’s already filled with blooming flowers and different shades; it is beautiful and comfortable!
13. Vibrant Suit Set
Vibrant suits and dupattas make you seem like part of Holi before even getting into the festivities. You can choose any color you like, but if you want to go trendy, get over to our FAQ section for the Colors of the Year list!
14. Black Crop + Jeans
While black may not be the preferred choice to wear on occasion in many households, many others who don’t have a problem with that can wear a simple black tee and denim jeans/shorts for a cool appearance!
15. Classic Saree
Earlier, we saw a Banarasi saree on Sara, but Yellow is supposed to be auspicious for the mentioned festival, so if you have a simple yellow saree (with or without a similar blouse), it can be the outfit to fall back on.
Frequently Asked Questions on Holi Outfits Women
Q. Which Colors Are In Trend For Holi Colors?
This is the year of “Cloud Dancer” aka off-white, so you can be on trend without even specifically looking for it. Furthermore, Pastels and Earthy Tones like Teal are on top.
Q. What Accessories To Pair Up For Holi?
Chandelier or drop earrings that work to frame your face are especially important when you are not leaving your hair loose and instead tying it up in a braid or low pony for the festival.
To create that authentic festive glow, go for some classic silver jhumkas and jutis combo!
Q. What Are Some Holi Makeup Tips?
On this particular festival, like most people, I’d obviously recommend not going heavy on makeup as skincare takes priority. Still, if you really want, you can stick to the basic makeup of softly blushed cheeks, waterproof sunscreen, primer, and some lip gloss (petroleum jelly is your savior).
