Omg omg omg I got to wear something I’ve been DREAMINGGGG to wear my whole life! No really, I think Indian clothing is some of the most beautiful in the entire world – so vibrant, sparkly, and twirly with a bit of sexiness all while feeling like a princess!
When @Lilly Singh invited me to her Diwali (festival of lights) party, I knew I wanted to wear something really special, especially since the invite encouraged it. So I reached out to one of my closest friends and incredible Indian American singer and songwriter @Vidya Vox and asked her for some guidance on what to buy. She was like buy? Why don’t you design?? And I was like design??? And she was like umm yeahhhhh. Vidya put me in touch with her personal seamstress in India Vidhi Gurnani ( and we got started REAL QUICK.
Must haves:
✔️ super flowy skirt with a HIGH slit and POCKETS
✔️ long sleeve bra top with super wide square neckline and crisscross back
✔️ a red toned organza floral fabric to pair with gold accents for a romantic and celebratory feel
It was soooooo much fun designing my very own lehanga, and when I put it in for the first time, I pretty much died. I felt like Princess Jasmine. (Can I say that!??) Sam also looked so good in his kurta that I found on Amazon! 😁
I am so happy that I got to finally wear a beautiful Indian dress for the first time and I’m grateful that my friends encouraged it too. On that note…as someone from a Vietnamese and Chinese background, I want you to know that I personally do not feel offended when a person of a different ethnic background wears an Ao Dai or Qipao. If you’re wearing it because you think it’s beautiful and you feel beautiful in it, then to me, it’s a show of respect to me and my culture.

Wow! You're looking so beautiful in a lehenga. This song is my specially favorite one
Love it ☺️
You killed it 😍😍🔥
You are vidya's friend 😁 I wish we could see you in her music video . That would be amazing.
That's a beautiful lehenga and there's nothing wrong with saying you feel like Princess Jasmine except that she isn't Indian lol
You IN INDIAN WEAR ISSA QUEEN-ING MOMENT ✨️🤌🏻❤️
I'd have really liked it if she didn't add the sexiness factor to it. It just feels more western to me.
Wow I've never seen so much foreign attention for diwali as I am seeing this year. So many non indian people celebrating diwali. I really wonder where all this sudden attention's coming from. (I'm not complaining, it's wonderful and makes me feel more connected with the world. Just curious)
You in Vidya's concert Best day 🙆🏻♀️
Cassey Ho?… Achi hu😂❤
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
Omg! You're friends with Vidya Vox?!
me an Indian being scared of going to the comments because i thought it'll be full of cultural appropriation accuses… but find acceptance instead… made me realise India is so diverse in culture that we love it when we see other people from different races appreciate it in any form or shape… it's people who lack culture who tries to hold on and gatekeep their culture in order to make themselves feel more special… you look great btw!! 🤍
You look Indian! 😍
Omg it's VIDYA VOX…
U look so pretty!!! 😍😍🤩
Damn! I'm Indian and I've been following you for a while because of your interesting designs but i never thought i'll be able to witness you dressed in an Indian attire let alone customising it for yourself. You look beautiful in that lehnga and also I don't believe in gatekeeping our culture, everyone should be able to participate in any shape and form and experience the joy that comes with it ❤️.
As an Indian fan of yours, this made my day ☺️
Jasmine’s not Indian, she’s Arabic.
Oh my wow 0-0
That slit….
You are looking fabulous
OH MYYY GAWWWDDDD 🤯🤯
