Birthday Girl Kalki Koechlin Is The Poster Girl For Cool, Unfiltered Sartorial Picks

Kalki Koechlin has always portrayed her brave best when it comes to choosing her characters in films or sartorial picks on the red carpet. Exhibiting her distinct take on fashion, Kalki is often seen skipping the glam-doll appeal for raw and at-all times cool aesthetic. With a multitude of silhouettes in her closet, she never shies away from embracing fashion that reflects her persona. With an eye for colourful florals, head accessories, and her love for the Indian textile, the Margarita With A Straw actress mirrors her fuss-free, inner-self through a roster of ensembles she chooses to sport. And as we celebrate the birthday of the poster girl for all things cool, here are the many times Kalki made a mark with her sartorial picks.

Flower Power

With a deeply rooted affection for high-on print designs, Kalki loves to experiment with the floral aesthetic. From curating unconventional pairings to styling contemporary silhouettes with fresh colours, Kalki’s closet openly displays a bias for prints of all kinds. Soft and sophisticated, we loved the actress’ idea of teaming the Torani saree with a polka dot, crop top or the striking House Of Masaba saree, that is what we call ‘perfect.’

Accessories For The Win

While many Indian celebrities resort to classic chaandbalis or the regular floral pin-ups when it comes to decorating their hair, Kalki breaks the mould of obvious choices. With an affinity for head accessories, that range from, silk scarves, bandanas to funky turbans, the actress suggests that she ain’t settling for less. Surprisingly enough, she brings together a burst of designs and slays ‘em all at once. Be it the coin jewellery from The Olio Stories, that she effortlessly styled with her white Zara co-ord set or the printed deep brown bandana and muddy brown socks that added to the lush green printed outfit, we’re taking notes and hope you’re too.

Cool Mommy

Celebrities leave no stone unturned while dressing up and especially during their pregnancy. While many stars opt for never-seen designs with picture-perfect looks stitched out of the most whimsical ensembles, Kalki’s maternity shoot popped the dream-like bubble. Being the cool girl that she is, Kalki’s maternity wear had ingredients namely– fun, fab and fiery making it to every look. Dishing out some not-so-regular ensembles, we loved her take on swimwear and traditional two-piece sets. Be it the Raw Mango design or the dual-hued bikini by Mezzaluna, Kalki probably had the most well-dressed baby bump (if I may say so).

Did you say, Blazer?

While blazers seem to share a happy bond with actresses Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, what often goes unseen is its high demand in Kalki Koechlin’s closet. Incorporating the classic formal wear in a majority of her looks, she prefers to attempt power dressing, each time to steps out. Be it the Sabyasachi printed blazer, styled with a crop top, skirt and the Royal Bengal tiger belt or the stunning black Gucci number, blazers top her priority list (and we love it on her).

Hair Game That Deserves An Applause

Setting hair goals, each time she goes in for a chop-chop, Kalki Koechlin loves to experiment. I mean the pixie cut never looked that hawt on anyone. From blue, pink to slaying the brunette, the Dev D star has sported styles and shades of all kinds. Going beyond the usual braids that are frequently observed on celebrities during film promotions, Kalki pulls off the most risqué hairstyles with utmost ease.
