There is a particular electricity to a look built around devotion rather than trend. In Shanaya Kapoor’s latest appearance, the brief is explicit: a Devi-themed styling story anchored in Indian textiles, with Shanaya Kapoor wearing Swadesh x Mayyur Girotra couture and layered traditional jewellery that does not behave like an afterthought.
Swadesh x Mayyur Girotra couture on Shanaya Kapoor
Calling it “a celebration of the Devi,” the team places the garment at the centre and lets everything else orbit. The outfit is credited to Swadesh in collaboration with couturier Mayyur Girotra Couture, a pairing that signals craft as the headline, not the footnote. Swadesh, the Reliance-backed platform, has positioned itself as a retail home for Indian handloom and artisanal practice. Girotra’s work, by contrast, comes with the codes of couture: showpiece construction and a point of view about occasion dressing. Together, the story reads as a deliberate bridge between archive-minded textile appreciation and red carpet clarity.
That theme, “Devi,” is not handled as a decorative label. It gives the styling permission to go ceremonial: richer surfaces, more intentional jewellery, and colour used strategically rather than sprinkled on top.
Traditional jewellery, credited down to the payal
What makes this look feel edited, rather than overloaded, is that every major element is credited and therefore chosen. The earrings come from Aren Jewellers, while the payal is attributed to Jagdish Jewellers, Chandigarh. Bangles and rings are split between Aren Jewellers and Razwada Jewels, creating a stacked effect that still holds together because the metals and shapes speak the same language.
The supporting pieces continue the Indian craft conversation. The bag is by Doux Amour India, and the shoes are 5 Elements by Radhika Gupta, a label known for festive footwear that treats embellishment as design, not garnish. That matters in a Devi-inspired look: the accessories have to hold their own beside a couture silhouette and jewellery with cultural weight.
The people behind the polish
Celebrity fashion is often discussed as if it arrives fully formed. Here, the credits tell the real story. Styling is led by Ami Patel of Style by Ami, working with Anooooshka, and supported by a styling team that includes Dhriti Chokshi and Aditi Sharma. Makeup is by Shraddha Naik, hair by The Mad Hair Scientist, and management is credited to Poorva. When the styling brief involves heritage textiles and temple-coded jewellery, that many hands makes sense. The look has to photograph, move, and remain coherent up close.
If you have been watching the new wave of Indian occasion dressing shift away from one-note “bridal” signalling, this is a clean example of where it is heading: textile-forward, collaboration-heavy, and comfortable letting craft lead the spectacle.
