Fashion
Playful tees, tube tops and denim everything—the debutant's style choices are oh-so noughties-inspired
If India had its own Jenner-Hadid-Bieber clique, Ananya Panday would surely be a part of it. After all, she too has mastered that signature It-girl penchant for insouciant looks which invariably end up turning all heads. While the 21-year-old is all about statement-making festive wear, her off-duty wardrobe, in stark contrast is exceedingly pared down. Nondescript, even. But the young star is a bona fide 2000s kid—so it’s no surprise that she’s truly committed to athleisure.
From tie-dye T-shirts to tiny sunglasses—if a throwback trend is in town, sign her up for it. Tube tops—from white and ruched to siren red—have been Panday’s lockdown BFFs for waist-up cool. How Britney (Spears) of her. The same goes neon bodycon dresses. Remember Kendall Jenner’s headline-grabbing orange midi dress from last year? The Student of the Year 2 actor recently wore her own version—a neon green dress colour blocked with tangerine heels and gold chains.
One look at the actor’s repertoire and it’s clear that strappy crop tops, solid coloured vests, denim shorts and jeans are her go-tos, often paired with her Goyard or Louis Vuitton totes with a Peppa Pig charm for company. Accessorising her looks are gold hoops, a delicate charm necklace that spells her name and sun-kissed skin. Playful tops are another favourite. To up the ante, the pieces remain the same but the styling is upgraded—like when she knotted a white tee into a crop top and wore it with burgundy joggers for a dinner outing.
Flared crops to ripped skinny numbers, the actor is a pro at dressing her jeans up or down. You’ll spot her in cropped light washes for casual catch-ups, in two-toned straight-legs with a white tank and denim jacket at the airport or in a seriously sequinned pair for a house party.
