Katrina Kaif's Bridal Jewellery Look — The Set Every 2026 Bride Wants
When Katrina Kaif married Vicky Kaushal in December 2021, her bridal jewellery became a reference point for the modern Indian bride. Her uncut-diamond (polki) bridal set by Sabyasachi was traditional in spirit and contemporary in execution — heavy enough to be magnificent, balanced enough to keep the focus on her face.
Here is how to recreate a Katrina-inspired bridal jewellery look with Abdesigns, and how to plan jewellery for every function around it.
What Made Katrina's Bridal Look So Compelling
- Perfect matching: necklace, earrings and maang tikka shared the same stones, metal tone and design language.
- Balance: layered necklaces with proportionate earrings — not everything at maximum volume at once.
- Hair that showed the jewellery: a neat, centre-parted bun kept the earrings and tikka fully visible.
Look 1: The Complete Polki Bridal Set
The heart of the look is a polki necklace set — the raw, uncut-stone effect in gold gives an heirloom quality that feels precious and timeless. Match it with polki drop earrings and a polki maang tikka for a cohesive bridal set.
The formula: complete polki-style set in gold — necklace + earrings + tikka all matched, warm stone work, hair up.

Look 2: The Temple Touch — Lotus Necklace Sets
For brides who want the same heirloom warmth in a lighter piece, temple-inspired motifs — especially the lotus — are a beautiful alternative. An antique gold lotus necklace set with matching earrings is lighter to wear and easier on the budget than a full polki set.
The formula: antique gold lotus necklace set with earrings, kemp stone or meenakari detailing, hair up to show the set fully.
Look 3: A Colourful Mehendi Look
Mehendi calls for lighter, colourful jewellery that doesn't compete with the mehendi art — kundan earrings in festive tones, a delicate tikka and stacked bangles.
The formula: colourful kundan earrings, a delicate tikka, stacked bangles. Skip the heavy necklace — the mehendi is the statement. For a bolder ethnic ear look, try ear cuffs for women or traditional Maharashtrian bugadi designs.

Look 4: The Sangeet Statement
Sangeet is the fun night — go bold with large statement earrings, a colourful meenakari or kundan necklace and bangles in your outfit's palette. Choose pieces light enough to dance in.
The formula: statement earrings + bold necklace + stacked bangles.

Look 5: Reception Elegance
After a full wedding, a lighter reception look feels fresh — medium earrings with delicate stone work, a simple elegant necklace or a pearl set, and minimal bangles. Elegant over elaborate.
Bridal Jewellery Checklist for Every 2026 Bride
- ✓ Complete matched set for the wedding ceremony — necklace + earrings + tikka from the same family
- ✓ Colourful light set for mehendi — festive without competing with your hands
- ✓ Statement pieces for sangeet — bold, but light enough to dance in
- ✓ Lighter elegant set for the reception — comfort matters after a long day
- ✓ A mangalsutra for daily life — something you will love wearing every day, like a daily wear mangalsutra
The Most Important Lesson from Katrina's Look
Buy your main bridal set as one matched set rather than assembling pieces from different shops. The matching is the difference between a look that feels curated and one that feels assembled. Abdesigns bridal sets are designed to work together — same stone, same metal tone, same design language.
