A three-piece suit full of meticulous detailing stood out in the “lil fashion rollercoaster” of looks that Rashmika Mandanna served on her gram yesterday. The concrete-grey ensemble was defined by a double-breasted blazer with structured shoulders and rolled-up sleeves that subtly drew attention to the crisp white shirt underneath.

The tandem team included a fitted button-up vest in the same fabric and matching wide-leg trousers. Black and red rings and strappy maroon sandals ably provided restrained jolts of colour. Rashmika Mandanna let the suit take centre stage by opting for a conspicuous downplay of jewellery. Overall, the styling was clean and intentional, laying bare the impact of fine tailoring, feminine silhouette, and contemporary codes of power dressing.

From Vogue’s fashion desk:

“Ditch the white shirt altogether. Let the waistcoat sit solo against skin; clean, sharp, a whisper of rebellion. Belt the waistcoat over the blazer, cinching it into a new proportion play. Trade the black sandals for square-toe boots. Slip a single statement ring onto the thumb or pinky,” says Vogue India’s Fashion Associate, Manglien Gangte.
