Since audiences are still raving about Sobhita Dhulipala’s performance in The Night Manager, let me take this moment to declare my admiration for the woman. I’m unabashedly in awe – from her acting chops to her personal style, she’s never not bringing her A-game. To be honest, if Instagram ever made stalking analytics open to the public, I’d be served with a restraining order from her because I just can’t get enough of her on the gram.
To corroborate my previous argument, it’s time we take a look at her fail-safe style. Not only are her stylists and glam team giving a solid 110 percent at every shoot, it’s her personal style too, that deserves acclaim galore. From sultry body-cons to chiffon saris and oversized separates, her sartorial repertoire is anything but bland.
Here’s why I think her style team needs their paycheck doubled:
1. Shimmy Shenanigans
Lensed in a Deme floor length sequin gown for The Night Manager’s premiere, Sobhita is seen channelling the old-school, 80s glamour in a toned down manner. With poker straight hair complementing her muted glam, the star of the ensemble is undoubtedly the risqué cutout and sultry back.
2. Queen Of Alt-Fashion
The fact that this look is so easy to recreate speaks volumes about her tendencies to dress down but with no compromise in the drip factor. The high waisted pants are from JAYWALKING and we’re surely bookmarking these for the future.
3. Understands The Glam Memo
Lensed here, in crimson red sequin column gown by Rudraksh Dwivedi, it’s giving old Hollywood glam with a side serving of bhoot jolokia. The hair is working, the lips are working, the angles are working. Tell me something that’s not, I’ll wait.
4. Slytherin Power Move
Head to toe black. No fuss accessories. Soft waves. Bold but muted lip. *Takes diligent notes.* This sleek look was originally worn by Sobhita for an Audi event but it’ll also work well for an ex’s funeral. And in that case, make the lip blood red.
5. Befriending The Sari
It’s none other than Sabyasachi- Tinselstown’s primary confidant and fairy godfather for all things fashion. This duo needs to work more because the magic that was created here was flawless. Digging the braided bun and jewels as well.
6. Experimental Gene In Its Prime
For our very own Elle Beauty Awards back in 2019, Sobhita opted for this puffed Gucci mini dress with cranberry tights giving the much needed quirk update. Probably the most experimental actress out there. I hope other A-listers are taking notes.
6. Desi Core
Dhulipala harbours a soft spot for Indian wear which is apparent by her penchant for saris and salwar-suits. Here, she’s pictured in a classic Ekaya Banaras silk set and I kid you not, this picture is getting framed, for sure.
