Omg omg omg I got to wear something I’ve been DREAMINGGGG to wear my whole life! No really, I think Indian clothing is some of the most beautiful in the entire world – so vibrant, sparkly, and twirly with a bit of sexiness all while feeling like a princess!
When @Lilly Singh invited me to her Diwali (festival of lights) party, I knew I wanted to wear something really special, especially since the invite encouraged it. So I reached out to one of my closest friends and incredible Indian American singer and songwriter @Vidya Vox and asked her for some guidance on what to buy. She was like buy? Why don’t you design?? And I was like design??? And she was like umm yeahhhhh. Vidya put me in touch with her personal seamstress in India Vidhi Gurnani ( ) and we got started REAL QUICK.
Must haves:
✔️ super flowy skirt with a HIGH slit and POCKETS
✔️ long sleeve bra top with super wide square neckline and crisscross back
✔️ a red toned organza floral fabric to pair with gold accents for a romantic and celebratory feel
It was soooooo much fun designing my very own lehanga, and when I put it in for the first time, I pretty much died. I felt like Princess Jasmine. (Can I say that!??) Sam also looked so good in his kurta that I found on Amazon! 😁
I am so happy that I got to finally wear a beautiful Indian dress for the first time and I’m grateful that my friends encouraged it too. On that note…as someone from a Vietnamese and Chinese background, I want you to know that I personally do not feel offended when a person of a different ethnic background wears an Ao Dai or Qipao. If you’re wearing it because you think it’s beautiful and you feel beautiful in it, then to me, it’s a show of respect to me and my culture.

GIRL YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
You look so good! The colors suit you so well and I love the accessories
GIRL STUNNING I LOVE THAT U EMBRACE OTHER CULTURE AND TRY DIFFERENT THINGS!!
I personally wear lengha at weddings because of its simple yet elegant design and this really proves. It also tends to look flattering and is very comfortable( depending on fabrics) ✨
That looks absolutely gorgeous, both traditional and modern. Indian ladies’ traditional dresses are just beautiful in general.
omg so cute!! i love that you and your husband both wore traditional desi clothes 🤩😊
Cassie could literally make anything she’s amazing
I’m Pakistani and our clothing is really similar to Indian clothing except there is much less skin showing
Edit: OMGGG HOW DID THIS GET SO MUCH LIKES IN AN HOUR?!
me too
Yes
Your right
I am an Indian girls and this is gorgeous like ahhhh
Your look is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s authentic nature is made all the more apparent by the custom design! Gives me hope for embracing my own Indian heritage!
Indian formal wear never disappoints. So many intricate designs, so luxurious… I witnessed the beauty some years ago from my bedroom window, and whatever was on the menu smelled amazing. Damn now I’m hungry.
Girl, you look gorgeous..!! If I didn’t know, I would have said that you’re an authentic indian ( and a beautiful one as well ) with the stunning lehenga and jewellery. I’m so proud of my heritage at this,moment and time.
Indian people have always been so gracious to me in sharing their culture and encouraging me to wear their traditional dress. When I would would ask if it was wrong since I wasn’t Indian they all answered the same, “It would be a compliment.”
I wish more cultures were that generous and white women would keep their mouths shut about the topic.
Considering a lot of cultures history with their culture being stolen forcefully from them I understand why they choose not to share it and I respect it
@Sophie Harris white women will complain about people appropriating someone else’s culture. I see it quite often. Definitely not their culture being appropriated.
@Lola Braud and I’ll respect and appreciate the generosity of the Indian people.
@Sophie Harris I think she meant the opposite lmao white women always want to dress in other cultures and whine and cry when woc say it’s cultural appropriation
This woman is the definition of “fine, I’ll do it myself”
I’m Indian and you look amazing. Ignore people telling you it’s offensive, you look beautiful!
Just went to a Diwali festival party the other day for my friend who was born and raised in Calcutta. They wanted everyone to wear traditional attire and we’re so appreciative of everyone learning about the culture and dress. It was an awesome experience.
I’m Indian and im so happy that people are taking interest in desi (Indian) clothes!! Happy halloween !!🎃

OH MY GOD I LOVEEEEE IT SO MUCH!!!!!! IM INDIAN AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY TO SEE OTHER PPL APPRECIATE OUR CULTURE
THE LENGHA IS SO CUTE! You even designed it yourself, super inspiring
As an indian I’d love to see more lehenga designs from you !
Ah ! Stunninggggggg ❤️❤️❤️❤️
