Her ability to switch from edgy power suits to breezy ethnic wear makes her a fashion chameleon extraordinaire.
Taapsee Pannu’s balance of comfort and style reflects in her outfits. Think of those chic jumpsuits that scream both “I’m here to slay” and “I could nap in this” simultaneously. Her looks often balance practicality with panache, making her style both inspirational and accessible. Her style resonates with her commitment to sustainability. Be it adding a modern twerk to a classic and accepted style or her unflinching support for homegrown labels and sustainable local brands on an international pane has drawn immense respect from paparazzi and fans alike.
The dhoti drape of sarees by Pannu has a separate fan base. At the Paris Olympics, the actor flaunted a traditional Marathi saree paired with a sports top, a look so charismatic and unconventional that social media went gaga over it. Her stride in Paris wearing a saree is also highly reminiscent of Sridevi from English Vinglish, and honestly, fashionistas could not get enough of this signature Maharashtrian look.
Pannu has never shied from loud motifs, and let it be floral this time. Decked in a black gown, the actor’s dabble with experimental fashion is pretty evident here. Just before the release of her film Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, she wore the glam queen crown at her promotional launches. Her looks were never devoid of a touch of bling in her attire, which further consisted bralette, bodycon fit, side slit, black stud earrings, and pump heels: all in one look, perfectly blending and syncing to slay.
Pannu traded the conventional blouse for a no-nonsense denim jacket and how! In two high buns, she strolled the Parisian streets in perfect flair. The rolled-up denim sleeves and cat-printed saree with a beige crossbody bag add vibrance and a sense of timelessness to the attire. On a more micro level, it is fascinating to note her statement pieces, especially the oxidised neckpiece, chunky bangles, and ear cuff. Her gait spoke comfort as she soaked in the Parisian sun and coffee emphasising once more the importance of owning it in fashion!
The actor’s wardrobe is not without a striking collection of solid-coloured sarees. Pannu believes in keeping it to the bare minimum when in solid hues. Often it is the graceful silhouettes that do the job for her. Be it the neckline or hair detailing, fans are ever-so-captivated by the minor details that accentuate her feminism. With the six yards, Taapsee is constantly blurring the lines between traditional and contemporary; conventional and outright.
If you consider Pannu’s spectrum of fashion, you would not take long to deduce that it is kaleidoscopic: a beautiful sequence of aesthetics reflecting perfect symmetry. Her love for the juxtaposition of contraries was most evident during the promotion of Manmarziyaan when Devki Bhatt styled her in flared trousers and crop tops or frilled tops. The pop colours and zesty accessories like a knotted belt and silver danglers completed the look for her. Being a paragon of contemporary chic, Taapsee certainly lit the way for all.
Much of Taapsee’s charm is in the undeniable truth that she can effortlessly pull off anything from a glam red carpet gown to a simple street-style ensemble. Her ability to switch from edgy power suits to breezy ethnic wear is what makes her fashion so compelling. Whether bold prints or a minimalist design, Taapsee’s style is a masterclass in staying ahead of the curve.
