From vibrant sarees to fusion ensembles, these stars put their best fashion foot forward while staying rooted in tradition.

Here’s a look at how they embraced the festive spirit and turned heads with their Ganesh Chaturthi looks.

Sharvari Wagh in her elegant saree era

Sharvari Wagh fully embodied the Marathi festive spirit this Ganesh Chaturthi. She opted for a stunning purple silk saree that radiated elegance and tradition. Paired with a sleeveless, V-necked printed blouse, Sharvari’s ensemble paid homage to classic Maharashtrian style while maintaining a contemporary flair. Her hair was styled in a traditional bun adorned with a fresh gajra, a timeless detail that accentuated her look. She went with subtle makeup, a soft pink lip, and traditional jhumkas. Posing with a small Ganpati idol in hand, Sharvari celebrated the festival with her family back in her hometown, radiating the warmth and beauty of a true ‘Marathi mulgi’.

Shilpa Shetty sizzling in the sharara

Shilpa Shetty is no stranger to making bold style statements, and this Ganesh Chaturthi, she delivered once again. She opted for a vibrant yellow printed sharara set, giving her traditional outfit a modern twist with a sleek silver belt that cinched her waist and added an edgy element. Paired with a matching dupatta and her hair styled in a sophisticated bun, Shilpa’s Indo-western look was a perfect blend of tradition and contemporary fashion. In the video she shared on Instagram, Shilpa can be seen joyfully performing aarti, dancing with her husband Raj Kundra and their baby girl Samiksha.

Sara Ali Khan’s love for Indian traditions shines through every Ganesh Chaturthi, and this year was no different.
