WEAR YOUR MIDI-DRESS LIKE THE B-TOWN QUEENS

My Style

Take your notes from Bollywood’s tweaked-take on the trusted midi-dress

With the warm-weather comes our cool ideas to freshen up your wardrobe and what’s better than the breezy, romantic, chic all-in-one summer saviour — the midi-dress — which is not only adorned by the royal ladies but by the fashion enthusiasts, stylists, and the celebrities themselves. But what catches our eye is the eccentric yet effortless style with which the Bollywood queens are donning this staple ensemble for scorching sunny days. So ladies, do not hesitate to ditch your pants — with tweaks like florals in metallic fabric, the ‘80s inspired puffed sleeves, polka dots on tulle, and for more, let’s dive in.

Sonam Kapoor’s knotty-sporty look
The fashion sweetheart @Sonamkapoor gives a nod to the new favourite trend — hello puff sleeves! But of course, with a sporty twist to the tale. Pan your eyes at this quirky brunch appropriate midi-dress, this unusual pairing of bands, gold-plated loops, and sassy shoes make it a distinctive style to be worn in summer.

Priyanka Chopra’s daring polka dot look
Do monochrome polka dots feel like a thing from Grandma’s time? Well, take it from Priyanka — it’s absolutely in style and even more versatile with the NYC touch in it. This sheer tulle dress with polka dots and ruffles is such a tease to give-up on the ordinary ones; the updo bun and bowed strappy sandals make the whole look even more alluring.

This look is a treat to your closet, owing to the many ways it can be worn in. Think of a brunch date, a walk by the beach, an office party or even a shopping day, this number from Emilia Wickstead is sure to make your look easy and impressive. Cinch the waist with a belt and smear your lips with a burgundy lip colour for an instant romantic transformation to the otherwise casual look.

Ananya Pandey’s modern-retro look
Feeling blue isn’t a bad thing always, says the glooming bud Ananya Pandey while gracing a @Balenciaga outfit from this year’s spring-summer collection. Her ribbed knit sleeveless logo dress spells leisure and cool, both rolled in one. The retro-charm of the colour in a modern silhouette makes it an easy contender for your fashion choice — we love how easily this outfit can slip from an AM to PM look with a little accessory update.
