If you are looking for a dress that is figure-flattering and feminine, then a mermaid style is ideal for you. Mermaid dresses, also called fishtail dresses, hug the body down to the hips and flare out at the bottom, creating an hourglass figure or a “mermaid silhouette.” Considering how chic they look, they have been worn by top celebrities, including Malaika Arora, Janhvi Kapoor, Shalini Passi, and Nora Fatehi, among others.

Malaika Arora:

Donning a full-sleeve red backless mermaid gown by Manish Malhotra, Malaika looks splendid in the timeless style. The shimmery outfit accentuates her natural curves beautifully, giving her a classic appeal. Her glossy makeup and soft curls complete the look to a T.



Shalini Passi:

The popular socialite’s classic peach mermaid dress features a figure-hugging sequin silhouette with a flared net bottom and a tiny side bow. Her shoulder straps are also bow-shaped. The look sparkles even more with her solid diamonds, while her high ponytail with soft curls at the ends gives her a princess-like vibe. Her make-up, too, is perfectly defined, enhancing her regal aura.


Tamannaah Bhatia:

Who would have thought a fishtail gown could be designed in denim? Tamannaah nails the look as she sports a denim fishtail dress, hugging her feminine figure. She further elevates the look with silver and gold chokers, earrings, and rings. With her peach makeup and bouncy hair, she looks contemporary chic in the style.



Janhvi Kapoor:

Janhvi channelled vintage vibes in a red velvet corset dress. She looks elegant in the rich ensemble that accentuates her frame, highlighting her feminine figure. Her diamond set with blue sapphires adds more glamour and class to the look. With her warm-toned makeup, she looks picture-perfect for celebrations.


Nora Fatehi:

Nora is ravishing in a nude-ivory mermaid dress adorned with feathers at the hem. Her sparkling silver bodice and the design of the couture dress fit her frame perfectly. Pairing the outfit with sparkling jewellery and shimmery makeup, Nora looks dazzling and party ready.



Shanaya Kapoor:

The Gen Z actress’ tangerine mermaid gown fits her like a dream. The off-shoulder ensemble highlights her waist, and the luxe fabric flares out beautifully from the knee, adding a curvy touch to her lean figure. Shanaya’s gorgeous yellow and silver choker in modern cuts, along with her rings, looks fabulous. Her makeup, too, is flawless.
