We may not be stepping out like we used to, but that doesn’t mean we stopped shopping! If you’re feeling guilty about a recent shopping spree, let Tollywood celebrities influence your Instagram game because no splurging should go to waste! Be it vintage jewellery, a new white shirt or even a designer pick, you can flaunt every quarantine buy on your social media. So, take a cue from Paoli, Sauraseni, Rukmini and Swastika and grab the self timer!
Paoli Dam
Just bought some statement jewellery on a whim? Fret not and flaunt! Plan a photo series like Paoli who pairs an old timey, layered necklace by Divinus Creations with a classic, button-down shirt.
Raima Sen
Did you just spend a bomb on some jadau and can’t wait to show it off? Plan a shoot around it! Go for stylised close-up shots like Raima so your polkis get all the attention.
Parno Mittra
Parno channels ‘Ami Miss Calcutta’ vibes with her chic white Dhakai saree. We love the shades and the handbag that bring the high street element.
Swastika Mukherjee
Swastika shines in a sunny, blue kurta by Bhomra Design Co. and adds some drama with a snug choker. Her flawless skin also helps!
Rukmini Maitra
Co-ords are all the rage and Rukmini clearly knows. The actor picks a crinkle chiffon co-ord by Jyotsna S Bisht’s resort wear label July Issue. We love the versatile ruched bustier which can also be styled like a blouse!
Rituparna Sengupta
Rituparna’s lace blouse is a big mood and needs no extra work. If you want to show off a quirky back panel or even a chic hemline, ask a friend for help because a selfie may not suffice.
Ritabhari Chakraborty
Bought a basic white tee? Take a cue from Ritabhari and style it with a bombshell hairdo. You can also try layering it with a funky jacket or a long monochrome shrug for the winter chills.
Sauraseni Maitra
Sauraseni pairs her classic saree with a retro bouffant. The sheer pastel saree from conscious fashion label Project & Stories, the winged liner and phenomenal lighting work flawlessly. If you have a simple, new cotton saree, try adding some zhuzh with some bold makeup.
Oindrila Sen
The long-sleeved number worn by Oindrila exudes Victorian drama. A must-have for last-minute fashion emergencies!
Anindita Ghosh
Anindita’s off-shoulder gown has a hint of feathers, but her topknot and maximalist earrings have all our attention. The actor proves a small, cosy spot can be a great background too.
Chitrangada Satarupa
Plan a vintage photo series like Chitrangada, who styles a dressy white shirt with a work-friendly skirt, side-parted low bun and bold lips to channel an Audrey Hepburn aura.
