As Raksha Bandhan, or Rakhi, approaches (it falls on August 9), everyone is on the lookout for ethnic dresses to make a statement during their family celebration. We have compiled a list of Radhika's most stunning ethnic ensembles that you can wear during the Rakhi 2025 celebrations with your family.
The sequinned Manish Malhotra saree
Sequins will never go out of fashion! As for sequin sarees, they scream celebration and have been a favourite look of Bollywood celebrities for years now. Radhika Merchant also embraced the fashion statement for an occasion. She wore a champagne gold, ombré saree from designer Manish Malhotra's collection. You too can pick a similar look for Rakhi, and style it with a statement choker necklace, matching jhumkis, hair tied in a gajra-adorned bun, and striking makeup.
The blush pink saree
Radhika's blush pink chiffon saree with a beaded tassel-adorned ivory blouse is a perfect blend of vintage fashion and modern elegance. Wear an outfit inspired by this traditional look, and style it with a choker necklace and dainty earrings like Radhika. You can either leave your tresses open or tie them in a ponytail like Radhika. As for the glam, go for bold eyeliner, glossy pink lips, darkened brows, glowing blush, and mascara-adorned lashes.
The glamorous Desi Girl look
A corset saree is a head-turner no matter the occasion. This deep greyish, silver saree features a strapless bustier blouse with a bodycon silhouette and a plunging neckline. As for the sequin saree, it enhances Radhika's frame like a second skin. She wore the look with a diamond choker, kohl-lined eyes, loose tresses styled with blowout waves, and a bracelet.
The orange silk saree
Radhika wore the orange and gold silk saree for the inauguration of the new Swadesh store in Mumbai alongside Nita Ambani, Isha Ambani, and Shloka Mehta. The ensemble is a perfect outfit for a newlywed bride celebrating her first Rakhi. Like Radhika, you can pair the saree with gold and emerald-adorned jewels, including a choker necklace, matching earrings, and bangles.
The simple cotton suit
Lastly, if you are someone whose fashion mantra is 'less is more', this simple butter yellow cotton suit from Radhika's closet could be your Rakhi look. Just pair the embroidered suit set with a matching dupatta, no-makeup look, loose tresses, and dainty jewellery pieces.

'Lipsticks, glosses, highlighters, and multi-use tints are topping the list of go-to gifts. Rakhi gift sets are in popular demand as they offer an easy yet thoughtfully curated option.

'Our newly launched trio, Velvet Vanilla, Mocha Muse, and Nutty Affair, is already in high demand. "Customers are pairing these perfumes with artisanal sweets or opting for the 'save the calories, gift the scent' route.'SKINCARE TAKING CENTRE STAGE'We see Raksha Bandhan as more than just a celebration—it's a moment to pause, pamper, and express love through thoughtful gifts,' says Queenie Singh, Co-founder of BiE. 'This season, there's been a clear shift toward skincare as a preferred gifting choice, with people leaning into self-care essentials that offer both indulgence and impact.'JEWELLERY WITH MEANING AND LEGACY'This Rakhi, we're not just seeing a rise in demand—we're witnessing a rise in intention,' says Tiara Dhody, Founder of Treasures by Tiara. 'Our newest collection is a tribute to iconic female warriors from history—figures like Rani Lakshmibai. Customers are choosing gifts that go beyond ornamentation—jewellery that doesn't just shine, but speaks.'advertisement'The Rakhi season isn't just about celebrating sibling bonds, it's also a moment of emotional gifting,' says Jigar Patel, Founder and Creative Director at Brillare. Consumers today are choosing meaningful gifts that go beyond the traditional.
