Whether it is her epic fashion sense or her ‘I don’t care’ attitude, Sonam Kapoor is definitely one of my favourite ‘IT’ girls. And going by her recent Instagram feed… we think she’s got hairstyles that a smart bride would love to pick up on. So if you are done with scouring through wedding magazines and Pinterest boards for wedding hairdo trends, then it is about time you take some hair inspiration from the bride-to-be herself! The pretty actress is ‘reportedly’ slated to tie the knot to her entrepreneur boyfriend Anand Ahuja this year and we’re super excited to see how she styles her hair for the big day. While there’s time for that, for now, here’s all the inspiration from her Instagram that you can use for your shaadi functions. Take a look…
1. Simple & Straight
This is for all those brides who want to something sophisticated but not complicated. Sonam’s long, free-flowing blow dried straight hair makes for a sleek and elegant look for a reception. When you’re going subtle with the hairdo, it’s best to go glam for your make-up, just like Sonam did. We love that burgundy lip colour!
2. Bun Wonder
Another one of our favourites! A fuss-free bun for your wedding day. Given that your hair will be tied up in a neat bun, we think it’s a practical choice for other occasions like the mehendi or haldi. Flaunt those sexy collarbones and don’t forget to add some drama to your make-up with smokey eyes and a hint of shimmer.
3. Half Braid, Half Ponytail
Kudos to Sonam’s hairstylist Namrata Soni for creating such an awesome half braid, half pony hairstyle that would look awesome for a glitzy sangeet night. The hair is neatly pinned so that you can dance the night away, while looking trendy just like Sonam! We’re sure she’s going to opt for a similar hairdo for one of her functions too!
4. Braided Elegance
Now we know that loose, messy braids have been done to death, but look closely… Yes, we are talking about the yellow ribbon at the end of the braid. It’s a stylish upgrade to the messy braid and you can even opt for a colour to match your outfit. Throw on a pair of statement jhumkas and get ready to rock the sundowner mehendi party!
5. Retro Waves
Go all retro and reveal your inner diva with these soft Hollywood waves at your cocktail party! A great hairstyle to go with your ruffled gown or the off shoulder lehenga blouse. Soft framing curls make your face look slimmer! It’s also a great option for the bride who wants to ditch the bun on her wedding day.
6. Mini Twist Ups
This hairstyle is definitely not for the conventional bride. If you want to wear your edgy persona on your sleeves, then this hairdo is what you need! For a boho beachside mehendi, style your hair in mini twist ups and get ready for all the compliments coming your way.
7. Romantic Bun
Whether it is your cocktail night or an intimate sit-down dinner, this elegant hairdo will go well with most outfits and for most functions. A pair of diamond danglers and dewy make-up is perfect to complete your princess look!
8. Sleek & Chic!
Now, now we know what you are thinking! But trust us when we say this, the slick back hairdo is one hell of a winner! For a glam, ramp inspired look at one of your wedding functions, this is just what you need. Opt for dramatic eye make-up, a quirky ear cuff and you’re all ready to make a statement.
9. Princess Flicks
One look at this picture and you know you want this for your wedding day. Dressed in a pastel pink lehenga with a delicate net veil, matte pink lips, smokey eyes and your hair in a twisted bun with flicks to frame your face… Now if that isn’t a gorgeous bridal look then what is!
