More often than not, we've covered all things pre-wedding, bringing out the best to you on how to rock the D-day as well as the events surrounding it with utmost panache. However, this time, we decided to venture into the "right after the affair". Shahid Kapoor's bride, Mira Rajput, is the new "bahu" on the block, and we believe, who else could be better to seek some inspiration from? Now, we may not have spotted a lot of Mira in the past couple of months, but hey, for you to get an idea of her style, just a few looks are enough, right? Coming back to taking cues from her style, every new bride must keep two things in check: A) Understated > OTT (even if you just got hitched!), and B) Having you man by your side is sure to cut a graceful picture!
With that said, let's decode the newest bride on the B-town block, and see what all you can incorporate in your style if you've just been married:
Delicate sheer sarees
At Masaba Gupta-Madhu Mantena's Wedding Reception
For someone who wore a gorgeous
baby-pink lehenga for her own wedding, it's no surprise that Mira likes to keep things simple and minimalistic with absolutely no hint of gaudiness. Her saree looks are very wearable, for they display a well-proportioned charm coupled with her elegant personality. One wonders, whatever happened to those loud reds, oranges, and yellows that brides usually wear right after their nuptials?

At Amitabh Bachchan's Diwali Bash
A huge fan of Anita Dongre (she wore the designer's lehenga for her sangeet), Mira's pastel picks always exude pure simplicity without a fuss. Take this shining mirror-work Anita Dongre saree, for example. She's so effortless in her style, which not only makes for beautiful pictures, but shows how unaffected she is by all the paparazzi! Take a bow, Mrs. Kapoor!
In the Comfort Zone
Even for affairs as grand as weddings, Mira likes to stay true to her personal style, never leaving her comfort zone. Now, for some, this might come across as a little convenient. But, what the heck? When you know the world's going all out anyway, it's best to keep it classy in your own way. For instance, this blingy cropped-top and lehenga combination she wore for her own reception looks exceptionally svelte, and doesn't go over the top one bit.

Pushing Boundaries
While the whole world goes one way, Mira stays confident in her own choices. So at Masaba's sangeet, she keeps it subtle in a black Anamika Khanna. We have seen her sport Anamika Khanna quite a bit - her wedding lehenga too was Anamika and the particular designer is known for the subtle. We love the chaandbalis that really upped the ante - this look says "I'm not trying too hard, I'm happy in my own skin". Bingo!

By now, we've pretty much established that Mira steers clear of any risque choices, which we very much appreciate. For all you new brides out there, here's a tip: chill, and stay comfortable in what you're wearing. You're the new bride; the world is going to eye you regardless!
