Aditi Rao Hydari’s regal ancestry can be seen in her clothing choices, which frequently convey ethereal romanticism from a bygone period. She’s a regular on the best-dressed lists, and she’s known as much for her spectacular red carpet costumes as she is for her envy-inducing Indian wardrobe. While she favors classic silhouettes, she goes over and beyond by incorporating Indian elements into her tried-and-true contemporary dressing template. We take a deeper look at the tried-and-true styles that have won the star’s approval.

1. If you’re planning on being a bridesmaid at a friend’s wedding soon, Aditi Rao Hydari’s A&R by Rhea Kapoor piece might be the one for you.

“The soft pastel color makes the attire suitable for both a daytime and evening function.” The materials and hand embroideries are in a harmonious balance, ensuring that the costume is neither too heavy nor too light. It would be ideal for a Mehandi ceremony or a small wedding.

2. Aditi Rao Hydari’s latest ensemble is ideal for those who enjoy pastel colors.

The sharara set had a button-down Anarkali-style kurta with matching flared trousers below that were worn without a dupatta. The ensemble was printed all over with crimson roses that precisely matched the red piping all around the separates, while the foundation of the fabric was a relaxing shade of powder pink.
