Polka dresses are not a thing of the past, at least not just yet. The style that keeps disappearing and resurfacing in unexpected ways has made its presence felt this year at several red-carpet events, including the Met Gala. And the latest to turn heads in it is Aditi Rao Hydari, who truly loves to celebrate everything vintage.
To attend the launch of Galeries Lafayette in Mumbai, Aditi opted for a classic black-and-white dress by Gauri and Nainika, which exuded both retro and modern vibes for its ultra-chic design. The strapless, floor-touching ensemble looked luxe due to its rich silhouette. It featured a draped bodice that extended into a trendy balloon hem, giving it an extravagant appearance.
Her styling enhanced the old-world vibe, particularly her black satin lace-up pumps from Christian Louboutin, which matched her dress perfectly. For jewellery, Aditi stuck to a minimal and clean aesthetic, wearing charming pearl and gold earrings and rings —an emerald one and her engagement ring.
Aditi styled her hair in a sleek ponytail, adding a vintage polka-dot scarf. Her glam game was natural and made her look radiant. Her flawless base was highlighted with peach tones, tons of mascara, and a pink-peach lipstick. She looked quite stunning in the overall look, which was styled by Manisha Melwani.
Not just a dress, Aditi also knows how to charm fans by recreating Indian retro looks. Another outing saw her stepping out in a cream silk saree by Manish Malhotra. The luminous drape featured a classic lace-and-pearl embroidered border, paired with a contemporary sleeveless blouse.
She was styled with a gorgeous choker with different design elements, stylish ear cuffs, and a stack of contemporary and traditional bangles. She added her engagement ring this time as well. What brought about the vintage look was the forehead finger wave on both sides.
The actress’ makeup in warm tones enhanced her beauty and she added a tiny black bindi to complete the look. The two styles show how Aditi is a pro at acing retro looks. Whether it’s her ensembles or accessories, her style is always on point.
