1. Aishwarya Rai from Devdas
Aishwarya Rai's bridal jewellery in the 2002 film Devdas was nothing short of a work of art. Paro’s character wore iconic polki and emerald jewellery, pieces that left a mark. Her jewellery was designed by Neeta Lulla and featured a hallmark of opulent, traditional Bengali bridal fashion.

2. Deepika Padukone’s On and Off-Screen Bridal Look
Deepika Padukone has always been a fashion icon in Bollywood. Her classic gold chandbalis from the film Piku were an instant attention grabber. So, it is not a shocker that her bridal Bollywood jewellery will be a hit too.
This seasoned Bollywood actress and fashion icon first made the world go crazy with her on-screen bridal look from the 2018 movie Padmaavat. Deepika Padukone’s bridal jewellery in Padmaavat was designed by Tanishq and showcased Rajasthani Rajputana heritage. With a focus on immense opulence and intricate detailing, the collection involved 200 skilled workers and over 400 kg of gold, featuring heavy Kundan, Polki, Emeralds, Rubies, Pearls, and Meenakari work.
However, the actress defeated her own iconic on-screen look with her off-screen bridal jewellery in the same year. Deepika Padukone married her longtime partner and famous Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh on the 14th November of the same year and stunned everyone with her Bollywood bridal jewellery. Her “2 States” wedding was a treat for jewellery lovers, with pieces featuring the traditional craftsmanship of both Sindhi and Konkani jewellery, designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
Her Konkani bridal jewellery featured an intricate temple-style bib choker, Rani Haar, traditional jhumkas, elaborate mathapatti, heavy kadas, paunchi, and exquisite rings. On the other hand, her Sindhi bridal jewellery included a statement bib-style choker necklace, polki maang tikka, a quintessential Bollywood hair jewellery, classic pearl-strung Nath, polki bangles, red chooda, and gold kaleere designed by Raabta by Rahul.
Apart from that, Deepika Padukone wore many other stunning jewellery pieces during her wedding festivities, each of which became a bridal jewellery trend.
