The modern sherwani is no longer just for the baraati. It has become a statement of identity — bold or understated, floral or architectural, regal or quietly cool. Here, we decode eight celebrity looks that prove there is an entire universe of sherwanis waiting to be explored, and we tell you exactly where to find your version of it.
1. Ranbir Kapoor’s Classic Silhoutte with a Modern Twist
The classic groom’s silhouette, reimagined for the modern man
At Tasva’s Baaraat show, Ranbir arrived in a silk ivory sherwani with handcrafted embroidery and sequin work — every inch the Indian groom, but with Tarun Tahiliani’s effortless modernity sewn into the seams. Ivory never looked less boring.

The Seema Gujral charcoal metallic embroidered sherwani set is a direct echo — the same smouldering palette with metallic surface work that glimmers with every move.
9) Siddhant Chaturvedi’s Nehru Layered Sherwani
The Nehru jacket revival, street-smart and celebration-ready
