One of the key ingredients of a festive wardrobe happens to be the kurta. In fact, the kurta has become a staple in most of our wardrobes now, haven’t they? Well, the same holds true for your favourite celebrities too. And gone are the days when the humble kurta could only be paired with a churidaar. From shararas to dhoti pants and whatnot, your celebs have been pairing their kurtas with the coolest of pants. Scroll on for some major ethnic wear inspiration and team your kurtas like them this festive season...

Spotted at a function, Katrina looked stunning in an all-red ethnic outfit. Doing away with the dupatta, the actress’ bright red kurta was teamed with matching dhoti pants that shone from underneath her long kurta, lending the look a very contemporary vibe. The off-beat pant look made for quite a cool look and if you haven’t gotten to styling your dhoti pants yet, now’s the time to!

Karisma looked all things chic and elegant in a bright yellow ethnic look. Her yellow kurta featured intricate white embroidery and Karisma chose to ditch the churidaar and instead opted for matching yellow cigar pants to team her kurta with. A matching yellow dupatta rounded the look off.

Being the fashionista she is, Shilpa’s sexy white strappy kurta was teamed with what looked like really wide-legged bottoms featuring multi-hued floral embroidery at the hems. Her embroidered and embellished white dupatta paired perfectly with her pants too. The billowing pants graced the floor beneath her since she teamed her look with gold juttis.

Much like her sister’s yellow ethnic look (as you can see above), Kareena too opted for the lambent colour this festive season. She was seen working a bright yellow brocade kurta that she paired with what looked like matching flared pants. Now, while we would call her bottoms shararas, they were even more voluminous and flared than that! Her bright pink contrasting dupatta rounded things off.

For a function she attended, Kajol opted for a white intricately embroidered kurta and she contrasted the rather plain number with shimmery bright blue wider than wide-legged pants. Her shimmery bottoms lent that extra oomph to her otherwise plain ethnic look. A matching white dupatta and a statement neckpiece rounded her look off.

Being the fashionista she is, we spotted Sonam work this very chic Indian look comprising of a minimally embellished kurta teamed with matching cropped pants. Her bottoms barely peeped out from underneath her kurta. A matching dupatta and juttis rounded her look off.
