Aditi Rao Hydari - She infuses life into ethnic ensembles like nobody else does! A testimony to this are the numerous times the diva has played muse to some of the most exquisite creations by feted Indian designers. Aditi’s penchant for pulling off royal and ethnic ensembles isn’t new and the diva looks nothing less than spectacular every time she does! Playing muse to one such intricately crafted creation by Punit Balana, Aditi Rao Hyadri raptured us with her stunning avatar. The flawless beauty attended the Edison Awards in Chennai and upped the look with a stunning beauty game. Styled by her go-to stylist, Sanam Ratansi of Style Cell, Aditi added yet another striking look to her burgeoning book of style. A style chameleon, Aditi’s style play features a melange of styles apart from those ethnic ensembles, like the high street style, luxe red carpet ensembles, casual chic outfits and crisp formal wear. Pulling them all with an effortless charm and equal aplomb, Aditi Rao Hydari rarely locks horns with the fashion critics.

Aditi Rao Hydari was last seen in the magnum opus, Padmaavat as Mehrunisa, Alauddin Khilji’s wife garnering accolades for her portrayal. While her on-screen role saw her flit from those intricately crafted ensembles after another and her look was further elevated by a complimenting immaculate makeup and vintage accessories.

The process of block printing in addition to being beautiful is also laborious and has been in existence for over more than 1,000 years.

Making a revival of sorts, designers are resorting to these prints and coming up with neo-chic ensembles like longline shrugs, dresses, front slit kurta and tops. Incorporate at least one element and up the look with oxidised jewellery for that ethno-cool vibe. (Also Read: “I was delighted to be the light in Khilji’s dark life” – Aditi Rao Hydari)
