Lilly Singh Instagram – Three piece suit 🤝🏾 Lungi Still glowing from this custom @falgunishanepeacockindia Diwali fit for my Dreamscape themed party.. And feeling extremely grateful that I get to collaborate with brilliant people and put pieces like this together. Because for most of my life, getting dressed up for Desi functions was STRESSFUL, not fun. There were just so many rules to abide by and as a result, in my experience it was harder to be creative with Desi clothing. Girls had to wear X. And boys had to wear Z. And it was hard to fuse the two and blur the lines because Desi clothes are generally quite costly. And then of course, shoes and jewelry had to match the work on the outfit. And your chunni/dupatta wasn’t just an accessory but a statement about your modesty. Growing up, the edgiest thing I did was wear bangles on just one arm. But as I’ve grown, I’ve gotten more comfortable throwing the rule book out the window. This year, I wanted to fuse my North American style with my South Asian style and so we created a three-piece suit with a lungi (two styles that I’ve historically seen on men). And then because I’m extra, we added a cape with feather details (a little ode to Superwoman). My genius friends at @saripalace suggested I rock contrasting light blue stones in my earrings, bangles and layered necklaces. And I’m obsessed with how it turned out. My glam team @sonia_singh_89 and @prernaco tripled the length of my hair, added gems throughout and gave me the dreamiest eyeshadow of all time. A small but important detail are my nails by @beautydollperla which feature clouds and crystals because when there’s a theme, we commit. From sketch to conception, this was an out-of-the-box idea, but who wants to live in a box anyway? Fashion should be fun.
