Since Pushpa went mainstream, Rashmika Mandanna has become the new shining star everyone is watching out for. Though the actor has won over the critics with her performances time and again, but she has fully broken into the mainstream. We thought it was best to do a full digging, and find out the best ethnic and wedding wear brands in the actor's closet, and give us all some much-needed inspiration for the upcoming wedding season!
7 Designer Wedding-Wear Brands In Rashmika Mandanna’s Closet
Shanti Banaras
One scroll at her Instagram, and you will know that Mandanna is a saree girl over anything else. She made headlines for styling this olive green zari embroidered saree from Shanti Banaras, and we fell in love with this beautiful drape. Shanti Banaras has beautiful, traditional sarees with zari, meenakari, jamdani work, and more. Prices start around INR 13,000 and go up to over INR 2 lacs, so there’s something for all occasions. Their entire collection, however, is sold out at the moment, and we will be keeping an eye out for more.

Dhruvi Panchal
Dhruvi Panchal’s label is a goldmine for anyone who prefers a more understated aesthetic when it comes to ethnic wear. The ombre saree Rashmika sported led us here, and we stayed for the breezy and easygoing vibe of their outfits.
Recommended For: Lightweight lehengas
Rhea Pillai Rastogi
Rhea Pillai Rastogi is a pret label that does "luxury clothing for every mood". This is the right choice of brand for those people who prefer contemporary silhouettes, and even their ethnic outfits tend to lean more towards the fusion-wear side of things. While their collection of lehengas and anarkalis is rather limited, it is very unique and comes with some intricate work done on them. Their prices are upwards of INR 39,000.

Label Ankita Jain
This influencer-approved brand has been making waves for their tie-up tops and beachy skirt sets, but their underrated and unsung hero has to be their sarees. While all their tops would work great as blouses if you don't mind going a bit risqué, but their understated sarees take the cake. They have only three in their collection, one red, one black, and one cream, and each one is prettier than the last. While Rashmika Mandanna went with the cream one, we're biased towards the red one!

Label Sonaakshi Raj
This brand is as wedding-wear as it gets. If you're looking for outfits to attend a close friend or relative's weddings, but don't want to subscribe to the mainstream silhouettes, check out this label since they have outfits that are off-beat. From embroidered co-ord sets to saree-gowns and lehenga-sarees, they do everything with a unique twist to it.

Annu's Creation
Probably the most unique wedding and occasion wear brand we've come across in a long time, Annu's Creation is a brand that isn't afraid of mixing things up. Colour blocking, patchwork, Kutchh-work are just some of the offbeat things they experiment with in their clothing. If you're someone constantly seeking colours and vibrance in your outfits, you have to check out their Instagram. For ease of browsing, the collection on their website can be sorted occassion-wise, or you can look at their 'Wedding Attendee' edit. Prices are available on request.
