Capes have a way of elevating Indian wear, if you ditch the dupatta for a lightweight silhouette on your back. But, Samantha Ruth Prabhu proves that you can style it with just about anything—even jumpsuits. Styled by Prayag Menon, Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s cobalt blue structured jumpsuit, cut from matka silk and paired with an organza cape from Payal Khandwala, tapped into some of the dreamy, billowy silhouettes that had defined the 2020 runways of New York and Paris.

While the jumpsuit featured a sharp collar, pleated front detailing, and a cinched waist, the wide-sleeved organza cape was done up with delicate embroidery along the arms. For glam, the actor wore maximalist diamonds from Nishka Jewellery and sported a pulled-back aesthetic for her hair and makeup—soft, low bun with a side parting, smoky eyes, and fluttery lashes.
Flowing silhouettes and capes return to celebrity wardrobes now and then. Think back to Kareena Kapoor Khan’s look at Lakmē Fashion Week’s gala night: a custom ivory Manish Malhotra sari embellished with delicate lace and rich embroidery, paired with a matching cape that echoed the same design. Or Sharvari’s quilted floral ensemble by Saaksha & Kinni, styled with a cape featuring hand-embroidered cutwork detailing and a dramatic trail.

From Vogue's fashion desk:
“To recreate this look for workwear, opt for a structured blazer or trench and keep it monochromatic. Layer it with a simple cotton-silk shirt and tailored shorts or pants, sticking to the same shades of blue. Complete the outfit with loafers and swap fine jewellery for silver or gold pieces. For the finishing touch, go for a smoky eye and loose, effortless hair,” says Vogue India’s Associate Fashion Editor, Divya Balakrishnan.
