Stylist Lakshita Sehgal: Stop copy-pasting celebrity looks\u2014this festive season, dress for your body type and own your authenticity<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The festive season is here. From September through December, the calendar is packed with weddings, Diwali parties, sangeets, and card nights and with it comes the annual question: \u201cWhat did Alia wear? What lehenga was Janhvi styled in? Should I buy Ananya\u2019s look?”<\/p>\n

But stylist Lakshita Sehgal has a blunt response, \u201cBollywood stars don\u2019t dress themselves, so why are you copying them?”<\/p>\n

The Illusion of Celebrity Styling<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sehgal breaks down the fantasy. Celebrities are not shopping off the rack; they\u2019re walking in clothes that have been pinned, tucked, and stitched on their bodies by entire teams. \u201cThey have stylists, makeup artists, hair teams, designers adjusting their blouses hours before a red carpet. You don\u2019t have that army and yet you expect the same silhouette to magically transform you? Of course, you end up disappointed,” she says.<\/p>\n

The result, she argues, is what she calls \u201ccopy-paste fashion guaranteed failure.” Women squeeze into blouses cut for slimmer frames, or drown themselves in lehengas meant for 5\u20199″ models. \u201cIt\u2019s not your fault you\u2019ve been sold the dream of celebrity perfection. But let\u2019s get real: you don\u2019t share their body type, styling budget, or retouching filters,” Sehgal says.<\/p>\n

When Copying Goes Wrong<\/strong><\/p>\n

She recalls a client who wanted a plunging blouse after spotting Ananya Panday in one at Lakm\u00e9 Fashion Week. \u201cExcept, this woman had a fuller bust and broader shoulders. The whole night, she was pulling it up and hiding behind her dupatta. The outfit wore her. A higher neckline with a cinched waist would\u2019ve looked stunning. But celebrity copy syndrome got her.”<\/p>\n

Know Your Body, Then the Outfit<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the antidote? \u201cStart with your body, not with Alia\u2019s or Janhvi\u2019s,” Sehgal says. She breaks it down:<\/p>\n

Pear-shaped (hips wider than shoulders): A-line lehengas, embellished blouses, dupattas across the shoulder.<\/em><\/p>\n

Apple-shaped (fuller midsection): Empire-line kurtas, Anarkalis, long jackets. Avoid clingy fabrics.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rectangle-shaped (straight frame): Pleated lehengas, belted sarees, layered dupattas.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hourglass (balanced bust and hips): Mermaid lehengas, fitted blouses, waist-focused sarees.<\/em><\/p>\n

Petite frames: High-waist lehengas, shorter blouses, smaller motifs. Avoid heavy borders.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Real Power Move<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her advice is sharp but empowering: \u201cInvest in a stylist or a tailor, not just a label. Clothes must serve your body, not a Bollywood fantasy. And remember, confidence is the accessory, if you look uncomfortable, even the perfect blouse won\u2019t save you.”<\/p>\n

As Sehgal sums it up, \u201cCelebrities don\u2019t even dress like themselves. They\u2019re styled into illusions. If you copy them, you\u2019ll only look like a watered-down version. But when everyone else is a copy, the one woman who shows up as herself will always stand out.”<\/p>\n
