With those dewy eyes and lit-from-within glow, Aditi Rao Hydari is a photographer’s dream. When she took to the Shoppers Stop ramp at their recently concluded Designer of the Year hunt, even a more discerning eye would be forgiven for thinking that she did indeed wake up like this. Dressed in a belted floral midi, she walked us through her fashion favourites backstage; here’s what we learnt.
ELLE: What are the 3 things we’ll always find in your wardrobe?
Aditi Rao Hydari: Jeans, shorts and a statement sari.
ELLE: What’s on your fashion radar right now?
ARH: I’m crushing on this khaki pinafore I just spotted backstage on a model. It’ll look perfectly summer-ready with a light checked shirt.
ELLE: What’s the one thing you always do before walking onstage as a showstopper?
ARH: I ensure that my heels are strapped on comfortably. I also do a quick check of the floor of the ramp and adjust my walk accordingly.
ELLE: Tell us, where does that flawless glow come from?
ARH: It’s actually really easy; I just wash my face with milk — At least, whenever I remember to!
