The yang to the yin, one might say. Social media can offer you valuable tips, tricks, and advice to sort out your life.

The endearing lehengas can find a special spot in every woman’s wardrobe, including Kompal’s. The content creator’s lehenga style reflects femininity, flirty with a touch of whimsy. She has a natural inclination towards comfortable/ traditional silhouettes with little room for experimentation. For instance, one of her picks includes a plain, cement grey voluminous lehenga with a heavier blouse piece. A safe yet trendsetter pick for a bride or a bridesmaid. Another choice of hers was a chikankari lehenga set paired with a traditional boatneck blouse and a dupatta.
Pink, especially happy, lively pinks, is her personal favorite. You can often spot the hue on her feed as well. To further put a seal on her choice, she wore an alluring pink lehenga Sulakshana Monga on her wedding day. Her striking ensemble consisted of an off-shoulder blouse and double dupattas – all drenched in the same hue.
While she loves her soothing, mellow palettes, at times, she does gravitate towards refreshing, beaming palettes like yellow. She can be seen wearing a monochrome mustard yellow lehenga in the last image. Scroll through to check out Kapoor’s spectacular lehenga gallery.
