A pink lehenga is a classic style that is both timeless and incredibly fashionable which is the perfect combination of grace and sophistication! Whether it’s a pastel blush pink, a rosy pink, or a vibrant fuchsia; pink is a color that is going to get you through every event beautifully! However, what helps make a pink lehenga even more brilliant is that it can easily transform from day wear to evening wear. With a few simple styling changes or layering hacks, you can go from a fresh daytime outfit to nighttime showstopper, all the while wearing the same pink lehenga!
Here is your ultimate guide to swapping your pink lehenga choli from day chic to evening glam easily!
1. Begin with the Best Lehenga Dress
The key to switching to night is finding the right Indian outfit. Choose a pink lehenga that will be multipurpose — not too embellished, but nice enough to elevate the look. Fabrics like georgette, chiffon, organza or soft silk would be the best options for this outfit because they have a nice base in daylight and sparkle beautifully under evening lights.
Choose the embroidery for the lehenga to be delicate — sequins, threadwork or mirrors are great details to have. A lehenga that is too heavy may not be the best choice for the daytime look, and a lehenga that is too plain will not be the perfect choice for the nighttime look. This is the best option for each occasion.
2. Day Look: Simple and Soft
Day events like haldi, mehendi, or outside ceremonies with natural light all work well with a light and airy look. We are thinking soft make-up, pastel jewelry, and pretty and fresh florals.
Day Styling Tips:
Jewelry: Go for light weight, subtle jewelry – mini jhumkas, pearl stud earrings or small kundan earrings rather than something weighty.
Makeup: Dewy skin, soft pink blush, nude lips, and mascara with a touch of shimmer for the eyes.
Hair: Loose curls or a braid with floral pieces woven in, or an easy low bun with fresh flowers would make for a pretty and youthful hairstyle.
Dupatta Drape: Draped over one shoulder casually or have draped loosely, but why not drape it for breeziness in daylight.
Shoes: Comfort is key when choosing shoes for daytime events, wedges or embroidered flats would allow you to move freely during any daytime events.
If your lehenga is pastel colored or blush pink, wear it with understated gold or ivory accessories. If your lehenga has a rose or bubblegum pink tone, accessorize with silver and/or white-toned jewelry.
3. Evening Looks: Time for Glamour
Now that you’ve reached evening, let’s get ready to channel your inner diva. You can elevate your pink lehenga set to an evening glam look with a few simple changes.
Evening Look Style:
Jewelry: Change from dainty jewelry to statement jewelry. Think chunky, bold chokers or big earrings, or layered necklaces with bold stones and crystals – then finished with a glam ring.
Makeup: Change from light makeup to glam with a smokey eye, highlighter, and a higher-impact lip color like berry, fuchsia, or a classic red.
Hair: Switch from the casual styles of the day to a sleek ponytail or elegant updo with a little shine. For even more glam, you can finish off with hair accessories like jeweled pins or a maang tikka for an even bigger presentation.
Dupatta: Take your dupatta and re-drape it in a more structured way — either with a pleated front drape, or over your shoulders, or if you want to show it off, try wearing it over both shoulders for added height and regal appeal.
Shoes: Take off your flats and put on a shoe that glams up the look with embellishment.
For added glam, you could even layer your look with a statement jacket or embellished cape. Not only do these add structure to your silhouette, they will also change the mood of your outfit without completely changing which becomes key as the night goes on.
4. Play with Your Accessories and Layers
Accessories can make your pink lehenga go from subtle to stunning just as fast as adding layers of clothing can. During the day, keep it lightweight and natural. Once the sun goes down, pull out the metallics, clutches, and shimmer shawls.
Pro Tip:
A striking, contrasting dupatta (think a gold or wine color) will give your pink lehenga an immediate evening feel. Similarly, if you go from a soft look during the day to wearing your lehenga at night, try — you’ve guessed it — adding a sequined blouse or a sequined belt for that red-carpet glam.
5. Confidence Is the Best Accessory
However, you wear your lehenga, one way to complete your look is to wear it with confidence. A pink lehenga choli already lends itself to femininity, romance, and play — so own it! Pose, smile, and engage fully in the transformation your pink lehenga offers, from day to night.
