Smita Diwan
Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 turned into one of Bollywood’s biggest style showcases yet from home celebrations to the star-studded Ambani family gathering at Antilia. Here’s what seven of the industry’s leading ladies wore, straight from their own Instagram posts.
1. Kiara Advani — Sheer Beige Suit for the Puja
For this puja moment, Kiara Advani kept things soft and understated in a champagne-beige sheer suit with delicate all-over embroidery, layered with a matching dupatta. Seated beside husband Sidharth Malhotra in a white kurta with gold-thread detailing along the placket, the couple posed with hands folded in prayer before an idol dressed in pink and gold with a colourful flower-and-peacock-feather crown, framed by marigold and jasmine garlands.

2. Genelia Deshmukh — Colour-Blocked Maharashtrian Saree
Genelia Deshmukh went full Maharashtrian-festive in a saree that blended deep red, hot pink, and bright yellow in bold, colour-blocked sections, finished with a traditional woven border and lotus motifs. She paired it with a matching red blouse featuring elbow-length sleeves and an open-back design, layering on gold necklaces, green bangles, and a flower-adorned bun. Husband Riteish Deshmukh and their two sons coordinated in floral kurta-pyjamas.

3. Kareena Kapoor Khan — Casual Kimono at Home
This one’s a warm, off-duty family moment rather than a styled festive portrait: Kareena wore a colourful geometric block-print kimono-style robe in orange, teal, and cream, hair pulled back with sunglasses pushed up. She’s pictured with son Jeh caught mid-bite on a modak in front of the family’s elaborate red-and-gold home Ganpati altar.

4. Shraddha Kapoor — Soft Ivory and Gold
Shraddha Kapoor kept things understated in a soft ivory ensemble with delicate gold detailing a flowing, traditional silhouette that felt elegant without being over-dressed.

5. Alia Bhatt — A Whole Week of Festive Looks
Alia Bhatt didn’t stop at one outfit — she shared a full carousel documenting the Kapoor family’s Ganpati week, from Bappa’s arrival to visarjan, captioned “the week that was” and “गणपती बाप्पा मोरया”. The post included a pink look and a yellow ethnic ensemble across different days of celebration with husband Ranbir Kapoor, daughter Raha, and mother-in-law Neetu Kapoor.

6. Shilpa Shetty — Yellow Saree and an Unplanned Dhol Solo
Shilpa Shetty leaned fully into festive yellow — saree, jewellery, and energy — for her family’s Visarjan celebrations, joined by husband Raj Kundra and son Viaan in matching yellow kurtas. The real headline moment, though, was unscripted: she ended up picking up the dhol and playing along with the musicians during the farewell procession.

7. Sharvari — A Pilgrimage, Not Just a Photo-Op
Sharvari marked the festival with a visit to the revered Ganesh temple in Morgaon — part of the sacred Ashtavinayak circuit and close to her family roots. She’s previously spoken about wearing heirloom pieces for the occasion, treating the ritual as the real focus over the outfit.
