Ranveer Singh dresses like a man who isn’t afraid of the room looking at him: royal sherwanis, saturated colour, embroidered jackets, silk kurtas and dupattas worn with intent. What I take from his wardrobe for real grooms is less the drama and more the discipline underneath it, because almost every look rests on sharp shoulders and a clean line. Below are 25 outfits built in that spirit, covering the main ceremony as well as haldi, mehendi, sangeet and the reception, and they work for brothers, cousins and guests too.
Fitting a Sherwani So It Sits Right Through the Pheras
Most grooms try on a sherwani standing in front of a mirror, then spend the ceremony sitting cross-legged on a mandap or on a low chair for an hour or more. That’s where a bad fit shows. At every trial I ask the groom to sit on the floor, stand up without using his hands, and bend to touch his feet, because that’s what the day asks of him.
- Shoulder seams should end where the shoulder bone ends, not halfway down the arm.
- Sleeves should stop at the wrist bone so the cuff stays visible when he folds his hands.
- Buttons should close flat across the chest when seated, with no pulling into X-shaped creases.
- Churidar should gather in neat folds at the ankle and still have some give at the knee.
- Length usually lands at or just below the knee; much shorter looks like a jacket.
Give a tailor time. Custom sherwanis with hand embroidery often take several weeks to make, and you’ll want at least two fittings after that. Start roughly three months out and you won’t be rushing the final adjustments.
1. Ranveer Singh Red Sherwani
A red sherwani is the boldest groom statement on this list, and it only works when the shoulders are structured. In deep red raw silk or brocade with tonal embroidery and gold buttons, it needs cream churidar or matching red trousers. A red or gold safa adds height, and embroidered juttis finish the base. I’d keep jewellery to one pearl mala, a brooch or a kalgi. One check I always do: stand him next to a swatch of the bride’s lehenga, because two different reds side by side can clash badly in photos.
2. Ranveer Singh Ivory Sherwani
Ivory is softer, and far less forgiving. Silk, jacquard or matka with gold, beige or pearl embroidery looks refined, but cream fabric shows every pull at the chest buttons, so the fit there has to be exact. Pair it with fitted churidar, champagne juttis and a light dupatta over one shoulder. An antique gold brooch or a pearl string adds a quiet finishing touch. Day weddings, palaces and beach venues suit it. Carry a stain pen; turmeric and ghee from the rituals mark ivory instantly.
3. Ranveer Singh Gold Sherwani
Pick antique gold over shiny yellow gold every time. The brushed tone looks richer under flash and doesn’t turn brassy in photographs. A textured brocade sherwani with slim churidar, embroidered juttis and a cream dupatta carries a reception or a wedding entry without help. If the embroidery is heavy, the accessories go minimal: a neat safa, a small brooch, good grooming. Wearing gold as the main colour, not just the border, is the confident move here.
4. Ranveer Singh Black Bandhgala
Black works for evening because it cuts a sharp silhouette against lit backdrops. A velvet, silk or wool-blend bandhgala with subtle embroidery at the collar or cuffs, slim black trousers or churidar, and black loafers or juttis is a complete look. Add one personal detail, a pocket square, brooch or slim chain, not all three. Velvet in black picks up lint and dust quickly, so I keep a lint roller in my kit for every reception.
5. Ranveer Singh Velvet Sherwani
Velvet is heavy and warm, which I’d never put on a groom for an outdoor afternoon in May. For a winter evening in a grand indoor venue, though, emerald, maroon, navy or black velvet gives depth that replaces a lot of embroidery. The cut has to be structured; loose velvet looks like costume. Silk churidar, polished juttis and a matching or contrast dupatta complete it. Grooms can add a pearl necklace or vintage brooch, while guests should keep things lighter.
6. Ranveer Singh White Kurta With Jacket
This is the outfit I suggest most for the smaller pre-wedding events. A crisp white or ivory kurta with slim pants stays clean, and the jacket carries the personality: mirror work, floral embroidery, geometric patterns or brocade in gold, cream or pastel. Tan, ivory or metallic juttis finish it. Mehendi and welcome lunches get messy, so wear a short jacket you can take off and keep the white kurta away from wet henna.
7. Ranveer Singh Printed Kurta Set
Print scale is the thing to judge. Large florals and paisleys sit well on taller, broader frames, while smaller repeats suit slighter builds and read cleaner on camera. A printed kurta set in mustard, teal, rust or indigo with straight pants and Kolhapuris or juttis is easy to wear for haldi and daytime functions. Add a sleeveless Nehru jacket if things get formal.
8. Ranveer Singh Pink Sherwani
Pink suits more men than they expect, and the shade is where to be careful. Blush and dusty pink flatter fair and olive skin in daylight; rani pink with gold work holds up under evening light and suits deeper skin tones well. Cream churidar, pastel juttis and a soft dupatta keep it festive. A groom can add a pearl mala or a turban in a related shade. I’d try it on near a window before deciding, because pink changes a lot between daylight and shop lighting.
9. Ranveer Singh Floral Sherwani
Florals on a sherwani look best when the cut stays masculine: straight shoulders, a clean placket, a length that hits just below the knee. On a cream, mint, powder blue or blush base, embroidered or printed flowers suit spring weddings and garden ceremonies. Keep the pants plain. A lightweight dupatta, ivory juttis and a clean safa are all it needs. Too many accessories and the florals start to look busy.
10. Ranveer Singh Jodhpuri Suit
Some men are simply more at ease in tailoring than in a long sherwani, and a Jodhpuri suit respects that. The bandhgala jacket needs structured shoulders and a collar that closes without pinching the neck; I check that by asking him to turn his head fully both ways. Navy, black, ivory, charcoal, maroon and deep green all work. Leather dress shoes, velvet loafers or clean juttis depend on formality. One standout detail, textured fabric or a statement collar, is enough.
11. Ranveer Singh Achkan With Churidar
An achkan is a touch lighter than a full sherwani and has a slightly longer, flared shape. In silk, brocade or cotton-silk with embroidery at the placket, collar and cuffs, it pairs with tight churidar and pointed juttis for a clean traditional line. Add a dupatta for the ceremony and a brooch for formality. It’s a good pick for the bride’s brothers and close family who want to look ceremonial without competing with the groom.
12. Ranveer Singh Angrakha Kurta
The wrap front of an angrakha ties at the side, so it flatters most body shapes and is easy to loosen after a big lunch. Silk, chanderi, cotton-silk or brocade all hold the shape. Pair it with churidar, dhoti pants or slim trousers, plus embroidered juttis or leather sandals. It’s excellent for mehendi, haldi and cultural functions where you’re sitting on the floor for hours. A printed dupatta adds drama if you want it.
13. Ranveer Singh Dhoti Kurta
A traditional dhoti takes practice to drape, and I’ve seen many come loose halfway through a ceremony. Unless someone experienced is tying it, I’d recommend pre-stitched dhoti pants. A dhoti kurta outfit in ivory, yellow, peach, mint or gold silk suits haldi and pooja functions. A longer kurta reads classic; a shorter one feels modern and moves better. Kolhapuris or juttis, a stole and simple bracelets finish it.
14. Ranveer Singh Pathani Suit
Comfort is the reason men love a Pathani suit. The structured collar keeps it smart while the relaxed salwar lets you sit, dance and eat freely. Black, olive, beige, ivory, navy and charcoal are easy; an embroidered collar or textured weave makes it festive. Leather sandals, juttis or loafers all work. A sleeveless jacket on top gives a guest enough polish for family functions.
15. Ranveer Singh Sequin Jacket Kurta
Sequins on a sangeet jacket catch stage lights, which is exactly the point. Keep everything underneath plain: a black, ivory or navy kurta and trousers, sleek loafers or embroidered juttis. Silver, gold, black or a jewel tone all work. One practical warning: sequined jackets can be scratchy and hot under lights, so make sure the lining is soft and that the armholes let you raise your arms for the dance.
16. Ranveer Singh Embroidered Nehru Jacket
The embroidered Nehru jacket is the most useful piece in a wedding wardrobe because it works across several events. Thread work, mirror work, zari, florals or geometric embroidery over a plain kurta set in ivory, black, beige or pastel, with straight pants and juttis. Swap the kurta underneath and the same jacket looks new at the next function. I look for a fitted shoulder line and embroidery that sits flat, not bulky.
17. Ranveer Singh Pastel Sherwani
Pastels read gently, so the fabric and embroidery have to carry the weight. Mint, powder blue, peach, lavender, sage or blush with soft metallic work, ivory churidar, pale juttis and a cream dupatta make a full daytime look. A pastel safa ties it together for a groom. These shades look washed out in harsh noon sun, which is worth knowing if most photos will be taken outdoors at midday.
18. Ranveer Singh Green Sherwani
Green is my favourite way to look regal without wearing red. Emerald and bottle green for evening; sage and olive for daytime with pearl or beige embroidery. A dark green sherwani with ivory churidar, gold juttis and a cream or matching dupatta looks strong with antique gold accessories or a subtle brooch. Grooms, close family and stylish guests can all wear it and stand apart from the usual red, ivory and gold.
19. Ranveer Singh Navy Blue Sherwani
Navy flatters nearly every skin tone and body type because it’s dark enough to slim without the starkness of black. Silver, gold or tonal embroidery suits receptions and evening ceremonies. Pair it with cream, navy or black churidar depending on how much contrast you want, and finish with velvet loafers, juttis or dress shoes. A brooch, safa or simple chain is enough. Texture and tailoring do the talking.
20. Ranveer Singh Maroon Sherwani
Maroon is red for men who find red too loud. In velvet, raw silk or brocade with antique gold embroidery, it suits a grand evening ceremony. Cream churidar, maroon or gold juttis, a matching dupatta and a beige, maroon or gold safa complete it. It coordinates easily with most bridal palettes, which makes my job simpler at the colour stage, and it suits winter weddings and receptions especially well.
21. Ranveer Singh Cream Kurta Pajama
A plain outfit has nowhere to hide a poor fit, so the cream kurta pajama depends entirely on the tailor. Textured silk, linen-silk or cotton-silk with straight pants or churidar, embroidered juttis, a stole and a good watch is a full look for smaller functions and morning events. For something more formal, layer a printed Nehru jacket or a light shawl. Linen blends will crease by lunchtime; that’s the trade for staying cool.
22. Ranveer Singh Brocade Jacket Outfit
Brocade has woven metallic thread, so it catches light even in a simple cut. Over a plain ivory, black, navy or beige kurta and trousers, a gold, emerald, rust, maroon or royal blue brocade jacket gives full festive texture without a sherwani. Match the juttis to either the base or the jacket details. It’s stiff fabric, so I always ask for a little extra room across the back for movement at a sangeet or reception.
23. Ranveer Singh Turban Sherwani
Coordinating the turban changes a good sherwani into a complete groom look. Match it to the embroidery or the dupatta, and keep it in proportion to the face: a large, high safa can overwhelm a smaller face. Churidar, juttis, a brooch and optionally a pearl mala or kalgi complete it. Pre-tied safas are a sensible choice for grooms who don’t have a family member who ties them well, because a safa that loosens during the ceremony is hard to fix.
24. Ranveer Singh Reception Suit
For the reception, a well-cut western suit in black, ivory, navy, charcoal or deep green can be a relief after days of ethnic wear. The Ranveer touch comes from one bold element: a velvet blazer, an embroidered lapel, textured fabric or a statement brooch. Keep the fit close at the shoulders but leave the trousers enough room for dancing. A silk scarf, a bold pocket square or metallic buttons personalise it.
25. Ranveer Singh Sangeet Outfit
Sangeet clothes get danced in for hours, so the first thing I check is whether he can lift his arms and kick without seams pulling. A sangeet outfit might be a black kurta with an embellished jacket, a printed kurta set or a short sherwani with slim trousers. Choose breathable fabric and skip heavy dupattas that keep slipping. Add one statement element, sequins, mirror work or bold colour, and you’re done.
Spreading One Wardrobe Across Haldi, Sangeet and the Wedding
A groom at a multi-day Indian wedding may need four or five outfits. I plan them as a set, from lightest to heaviest, so the colours build toward the ceremony rather than peaking too early.
Day One: Haldi and Mehendi
Wear cotton, linen-silk or a printed kurta set in colours that won’t mind turmeric. Haldi paste stains fabric permanently, so don’t wear anything you want to keep pristine.
Day Two: Sangeet
This is where sequins, a brocade jacket or a short sherwani belong. Keep the main ceremony colour out of it, so the wedding look still feels new.
Ceremony and Reception
The heaviest sherwani and the safa come out for the ceremony, then a bandhgala or suit for the reception. Reuse accessories across events, like a brooch or juttis, to save money. After the wedding, have silk and velvet pieces dry-cleaned by someone who handles embroidery, then store them folded in muslin, not plastic, with the zari wrapped so it doesn’t tarnish against other fabrics.
Start With the Function, Then the Fabric
His wardrobe looks loud, but it’s easy to adapt once you dress for each event rather than for the camera alone. Pick the function first, then the silhouette, then colour and fabric, then shoes and accessories. Red and maroon carry the main ceremony; ivory, pastel and navy suit softer or more formal moments; jackets, bandhgalas, Pathanis and kurta sets cover everything before the wedding. Pair one statement detail with clean tailoring and you’ll look like yourself, only sharper.
