Fashion Faceoff East or West: Taapsee Pannu vs Maitreyi Ramakrishnan
We fancy a good fashion faceoff and East versus West has always had the fans divided. One such case happened recently when Bollywood star Taapsee Pannu and Hollywood’s newest brown actor on the block, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, wore similar outfits almost on the same day in different continents to different events.
Responsible dressing in the current trend and up-cycling is probably the best thing that can happen to a fabric which is also the need of the hour.
Indian designer Ashwin Thiyagrajan created a rainbow dress from upcycled Banarasi brocade scraps. It’s an innovative piece of clothing that’s getting all the love currently and that’s how it ended up being in two parts of the world about the same time, worn by the two influential personalities of the entertainment industry.
Taapsee Pannu wore the dress to Filmfare OTT Awards 2021 which happened a few days ago in Mumbai. Stylist Devki Bhatt chose the dress for Taapsee keeping her figure in mind and it suits her well.
Sleek bun, soft make-up and bold Kohl in eyes make Taapsee look prettier. The champaign gold diamond earpieces suit the frame and gold strapped heels elevate her aura.
In the other time zone, Netflix’s Never Have I Ever star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan was slid into the same piece by stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer, for the “Unforgettable Gala” Red Carpet. It’s the only print magazine that focuses on Asian Americans in the entertainment industry.
Audiences' beloved “Devi” sported her natural wavy hair with glowing makeup. Her staple nose ring is complemented by diamond ear strings. A pair of gold Jimmy Choo ankle strap heels doesn’t take away the focus from the dress.
We love when Indian designers go global however it’s for you to decide which Diva aced the look better.
