1. Desi spirit

Wear a traditional white or light colored sari or lehenga with flowing fabric that gives an ethereal vibe. Use dramatic makeup to create a ghostly look with pale skin and dark eyes. Add sheer fabrics, such as a dupatta, for an extra mysterious effect.

2. Bollywood diva

It’s time to make your Poo dreams come true! Channel your inner Bollywood star with a glitzy lehenga choli or an embellished sari. Kareena Kapoor’s iconic Poo character can be your perfect inspiration. Wear backless tops, miniskirts and all those sparkly pieces that have been in your wardrobe.

3. Manjulika (Bhool Bhulaiyaa)

Ah, the creepy Manjulika! To achieve her look, wear a torn dark saree and wild hair, accessorized with heavy dark eye makeup and smeared red lipstick. Add gold jewelry, especially anklets, to channel her spooky dancer vibes. And don’t forget to perform her twisted dance moves whenever anyone gets too comfortable at the party.

4. Creepy Bollywood Bride

Dress up in a traditional bridal lehenga, but with a twist: use darker colors such as deep red or black. Go for dramatic makeup with smoky eyes and a bold lip. Add a veil with creepy elements, such as spider webs or fake flowers.

5. Retro Bollywood look

Go for a vintage look inspired by classic Bollywood films from the 60s and 70s, with flared bottoms or a flowing maxi dress. Think retro hairstyles, bold lipstick and big statement earrings for that iconic old-world vibe.
