Revisiting Genelia D'Souza Deshmukh's lovely wedding lehenga | The Times of India (2024)

The shade of maroon was known as the ‘it’ colour for Indian brides in the 2000s. Mixed with shades of dark green or dark purple, most of the celebrity brides did not shy away from opting for the maroon and green colour. She paired it with a dark green blouse and wore a maroon shade palette with golden heavy embroidery which looked subtle and regal in her time. The green blouse also featured golden heavy embroidery and matched perfectly with her lehenga. She added the dupatta in the hues of orangish-yellow which had heavy work with small beadings alongside the border.

Keeping her look heavy and fresh, she wore a silver and red necklace with matching earrings and added a traditional Marathi Nath. She also added a beautiful maang tikka and wore a heavy set of bangles and traditional red choodas. The actress had two weddings, a Marathi wedding and a Christian wedding. For the Marathi wedding, she also wore a traditional mundavalya which is a pearl-studded string ornament tied horizontally across the forehead with two vertical strings dangling down.

She sported the trending makeup of 2000s. She went for a nude lipstick look, she had a fine eyebrow look with smokey eyes detailing and a winged liner tail with dark kohled eyes. She kept a light blush and a stunning highlighted look, which complemented her entire look.

Celebrity brides in the 2000s always opted for the iconic fashion mogul Manish Malhotra, seeking his guidance for their bridal fit. Genelia D’Souza also made a safe choice and opted for the designer who practically ruled Bollywood and is still one of the finest in the fashion industry when it comes to bridal couture.

Genelia D’Souza re-wore her wedding lehenga for her brother-in-law’s wedding and draped it as a sari which looked subtle but stylish. Having a minimal flare, she paired the same green blouse with the lehenga and wore the dupatta in a sari style. Keeping a middle parting with a low bun look, she wore beautiful red roses and added a stunning necklace with matching silver long earrings.

As Genelia D’Souza follows Christianity, there was a white wedding too, with the actress wearing a traditional flared bridal gown with a lace neck detailing, which also had a long veil attached with a floral string beaded headgear. She looked like a Disney princess as she paired it with white lace gloves and carried a stunning white bouquet. Keeping her makeup subtle and simple with nude makeup tricks, she wore her hair into a small down bun and let the veil do its magic on top.
