There’s something magical about winter weddings- the air turns crisp, the lights glow softer, and the mood turns luxurious. And what better fabric to embody the warmth and grandeur of the season than velvet? Plush, regal, and irresistibly elegant, velvet has been the fabric of royalty for centuries. This winter, WeaverStory’s Makhmal Collection celebrates this timeless textile in all its glory, reimagined for today’s modern woman.
Inspired by the Mughal era’s love for opulence, the Makhmal Collection brings together deep jewel tones, intricate hand embroidery, and silhouettes that flatter every occasion- from intimate mehendis to grand receptions. Celebrities too, have fallen for its charm, embracing these handcrafted ensembles that radiate poise and heritage.
Let’s step inside the Celebrity Velvet Closet and explore how stars are styling their Makhmal ensembles this season.
Priya Prakash Varrier in Navy Blue Velvet Kurta Set
Sometimes, elegance lies in quiet sophistication and Priya Prakash Varrier’s navy blue velvet look proves just that.
Dressed in a hand-embroidered velvet kurta and matching velvet salwar, she epitomizes understated regality. The straight-cut silhouette with a V-neckline keeps the look minimal yet polished, while the deep navy shade captures the richness of winter evenings.
Intricate zardozi and resham embroidery at the back and on the sleeve hems adds just the right amount of shimmer, making it perfect for evening functions or sangeet nights. The matching Pakistani salwar, with its delicate handwork, completes the look with effortless symmetry.
This blue velvet ensemble is proof that sometimes, subtlety is the loudest statement. Pair it with statement jhumkas and a sleek bun for a look that’s all grace and glamour.
Priya Prakash Varrier in Dark Green Kalidar Velvet Kurta with Velvet Farshi
If there’s one shade that truly defines the winter season, it’s emerald green- bold, regal, and endlessly captivating. In this dark green kalidar velvet kurta, Priya embraces the hue of courage and grace.
The kalidar silhouette celebrates fluidity, while hand-embroidered zardozi and resham detailing on the yoke and at the back create an heirloom piece meant to be treasured for generations. The deep green Farshi-style pants, reminiscent of Mughal grandeur, lend an old-world sophistication that’s impossible to overlook.
Finished with zari threadwork at the hem, the Farshi complements the kurta beautifully, making it an ideal pick for winter wedding festivities — whether it’s a cocktail night or a festive dinner.
Style tip: Accentuate the look with uncut polki earrings and a soft, bronzed makeup palette. Let the embroidery and colour do all the talking.
Arushi Nishank in Heena Green Velvet Sharara Set
When it comes to wedding celebrations, nothing spells festive like a sharara -dramatic, graceful, and timeless. Arushi Nishank embodies this charm in a Heena green velvet sharara set, paired with a rust tissue dupatta adorned with zardozi borders.
The contrast between the deep green velvet and the warm rust dupatta is striking, capturing the essence of mehendi or sangeet celebrations. The shimmer of zardozi embroidery reflects the glow of festive lights, while the fluid silhouette ensures comfort and elegance.
For those who love experimenting with colours, this ensemble is the perfect example of how contrasting tones can come together harmoniously to create a stunning visual story.
Anjali Sharma in Maroon Velvet Zardozi Kurta Set
A winter wardrobe is incomplete without a deep maroon. Anjali Sharma’s maroon velvet zardozi kurta set captures the true essence of timeless celebration.
The ensemble features intricate champagne gold zardozi embroidery along the neckline and hem, balanced beautifully by the richness of the velvet fabric. The matching salwar, finished with embellished borders, ties the look together, while a sheer organza dupatta with zardozi bootis adds just the right touch of softness.
This look is made for wedding receptions and festive evenings, where every detail, from the sheen of the velvet to the handcrafted gold embroidery, speaks of artistry and elegance.
Pair it with gold-toned jewellery and minimal makeup for a look that’s pure sophistication.
Ahaana Krishna in Plum Velvet Kurta with Beige Farshi
The Makhmal collection finds its perfect muse in Ahaana Krishna’s plum velvet kurta set- a blend of contemporary chic and heritage design.
The straight-cut kurta, highlighted by delicate resham embroidery on the neckline, strikes the right balance between modern minimalism and old-world charm. The pairing with beige velvet Farshi pants, finished with zari and resham work, creates an exquisite tonal contrast that’s both royal and refreshing.
Completing the look is a light plum organza dupatta, adorned with hand-embroidered Mughal floral motifs. It’s a perfect example of how layering different textures, velvet and organza, can create depth and dimension in your festive attire.
Whether it’s a winter engagement or a family dinner, this ensemble ensures you remain effortlessly elegant while embracing the spirit of the season.

Velvet, in its soft luster and structured drape, becomes more than a fabric, it becomes an experience. Whether you choose a kalidar kurta, a regal farshi, or a playful sharara, each silhouette from WeaverStory’s Makhmal edit brings with it a sense of occasion, comfort, and grace.
