Black is a mysterious colour. And if you like yourself this mysteriously bold and somber colour, you are going to get absolutely awestruck after seeing these 12 lehengas in this magical colour.
Not a lot of women opt for black lehengas for occasions like an Indian wedding or any other religious functions. In various Indian cultures, wearing black colour to happy occasions is considered unlucky or inauspicious. But keeping all the superstitions and myths associated with this colour aside, I consider black as a colour of power and strength. It is my most favourite colour and there is no doubt about that. I can dress in all-black, from head-to-toe for the rest of my life without complaining – you see!
Okay – enough of my love confessions for black – let’s explore these breathtaking 12 black lehengas below and get all you women some inspirations for your next party outfit!
12 Breathtaking Black Lehenga Inspirations You Gotta See
1. Black Lehenga Made In Silk
Silk is a luxurious fabric that makes your lehenga or any other Indian outfit look classy!
You see this lehenga – it has zero embroidery or sequins work, yet it is looking so gorgeous! That is the beauty and class of silk fabric. The tassels attached to the choli of this set are adding a stylish look to the overall outfit. If you want to look extra-glam in this lehenga, you can carry a sequinned dupatta with it in place of the net lehenga that is paired with it.

8. Foiled Black Lehenga With Pre-stitched Pleated Dupatta
This lehenga set is from the famous Indian ethnic brand Chhabra 555. The pre-stitched pleated dupatta of this set gives it the essential indo-western glam. Its blouse and lehenga skirt come semi-stitched so you can get them adjusted as per your size.
Talking about its foil work – it has been all the rage in a past while. This work in golden tones looks spellbinding against dark colours like black or maroon. Plus, unlike embroidery, mirror or sequins work, this foil work doesn’t make your outfit feel heavy. Which means, you can twirl around in this lightweight lehenga all evening without getting uncomfortable.

This Inddus lehenga has a black skirt and a colour contrasting peach blouse which has bell sleeves. The same piece is available in different colour options for blouse. It is quite an affordable black lehenga for party.

The thick golden border in this lehenga gives it the royal, princess-y vibes! Its full sleeved blouse has sequins work on the arms and golden embroidery on the wrist part. The dupatta is nothing too fancy, it just has a golden lace border that brings the whole outfit’s look together.

The black choli of this stunning MM ensemble worn by Karisma Kapoor is paired with a colourful lehenga skirt.

The dupatta, however, is a sequined one which you might want to switch for something more elegant and simple.

12. Floral Garden
Whoever says black and floral prints don’t belong together, shut them off by showing them this gorgeous floral beauty. The choli is decorated with eye-catching tone on tone sequins, but the red and pink floral prints on the lehenga skirt are totally stealing the limelight.
