19 pictures that will take you into Aditi Rao Hydari’s wardrobe
From elaborate lehengas to pared-down basics, Aditi Rao Hydari works both ends of the style spectrum with equal ease
Effortless elegance serves as the easiest way to sum up Aditi Rao Hydari’s diverse sartorial lexicon, which includes bohemian staples as well as timeless classics. Having made her mark on the big screen with impactful roles, her classic beauty is mirrored in her wardrobe choices that champion the grace of a bygone era. Not to say that she denies her inner maximalist—the 32-year-old isn’t averse to making a statement on the red carpet with exaggerated silhouettes that are attention-seeking, but never flashy. Here, we decode her best style choices in front of the camera and behind it as well.

At the heart of Hydari’s normcore aesthetic is a deep-rooted appreciation for breathable silhouettes. Vintage weaves from Raw Mango share equal billing with basic white kurtas that serve as a nod to the slow fashion movement. On those days when she’s looking to make heads turn, tailored separates service her need for making a sharp statement. At a recent charitable event, she opted for a studded blazer from Cinq à Sept to elevate a basic ensemble. When off the clock, distressed denims serve as her go-to shorthand for conjuring a pap-worthy outfit, often accompanied by pared-down shirts. While her personal style compass points towards the moodier colours on the palette, the Padmaavat stunner keeps the door open for unconventional hues—the actor recently took the head-to-toe colour trend for a spin in olive separates from Manika Nanda with a tie-up waist that accentuated her enviable figure.

“I like to be at ease even if I’m wearing an elaborate Indian outfit with a lot of jewellery, or a voluminous gown,” she stated in a recent interview, and this graceful fluidity is mirrored in her red carpet picks. Her favour for black ensembles is known—from softly sculpted Amit Aggarwal gowns to belted Tarun Tahiliani saris. The true vortex of her sartorial signature, however, lies in her choice of accessories—including maximalist chaandbalis and oversized jhumkas—that often find their way to her off-duty looks as well.
