When it comes to her sartorial choices, Anushka Sharma is fan of simplicity and practicality. Don’t go by her red carpet picks or the on-screen outfits she wears—her personal style is best understood through her daily wear wardrobe. Impactful casual outfits take up the majority of space in her wardrobe, especially the kurta. Whether it’s a minimal chikankari kurta set or a vibrant festive pick, Sharma effortlessly manages to oscillate between the two.

How to style a kurta like Anushka Sharma

To begin with, comfort is key in Sharma’s style books. Lightweight and airy kurtas teamed with relaxed palazzos or wide-legged trousers top the actor’s list, often for travel. If you’ve got a small festive occasion to attend like a puja at home, or are looking for an easy outfit to counter the unrelenting humidity, bookmark an easy breezy kurta and palazzo set like Anushka Sharma’s. Team it with flats (yet another practical option) like the star, a pair of earrings and a statement bag to round off your look.

If you’re looking for kurtas to see you through the wedding season, take cues from Sharma and opt for colourful and embellished kurta sets. Her deep purple Sabyasachi kurta and sharara set or the Ankit Khullar number in teal, complete with a contrasting dupatta, will serve as inspiration. Accentuate your outfit with elegant chaandbalis and a bindi. In terms of footwear, keep it simple like the actor and go with embroidered juttis.
