After taking a step back from the spotlight, actress and singer Shruti Haasan is set to make a comeback. And, the actress is taking the fashion route and letting her wardrobe do all the talking. In her latest shoot with a fast fashion brand, Shruti reminds us that a sabbatical from the silver screen doesn’t mean a break from style. If anything, it looks like she’s been sharpening her fashion instincts while the world waited.

For the H&M campaign, Shruti channels a moody, futuristic aesthetic that she herself calls “extra terrestrial” for the Instagram caption. Dressed in striking grey leather tight pants and oversized crop top, she merges structure with attitude in a way that feels both grounded and otherworldly.

She wore a grey jacket styled top with boxy yet sculpted details. With the zipper details, voluminous sleeves and oversized collars, the outfit gave off a confident vibe without trying too hard. She paired it with matching leather pants for a sleek monochromatic finish. The same colours of the top and bottom added a gothic edge with a strong silhouette sitting perfectly on her svelte body.

The look themed on a mysterious mood board served a bold and refined aesthetic with oodles of quiet drama in the monochromatic grey. While the colour doesn’t scream for attention, but it’s hard to be ignored. Grey leather is having a moment right now, acting as a more versatile, modern alternative to classic black. To balance the oversized proportions of the top, Shruti opted for sleek and fitted pants, creating an elongated frame with subtle drama.

For minimum accessories like rings, a silver chain with pendant and mid-size hoops, the actress added a touch of glamour without overpowering the overall mood. For an extra drama she paired the ensemble with black heeled boots to give a powerful vibe.

Shruti’s beauty look furthers the narrative of extra-planetary elements as she went with bold, kohl-lined eyes to add a theatrical and gothic reference. The lips, kept neutral, balanced out the heaviness of the eyes, and her long, straight hair added a feminine softness to her costume-like appearance.

Grey tights might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of summer styling, but with the right pieces, they can bring a cool, unexpected edge to your warm-weather wardrobe. The key is to keep the rest of your outfit light and breezy to balance the texture and tone of the tights. Pair them with an oversized white shirt or a linen mini dress for a crisp, modern look.

Go for sheer or lightweight grey tights rather than thick opaques—this keeps the outfit breathable and seasonally appropriate. Finish with silver-toned accessories or a statement bag for a bit of contrast. The goal is to use grey tights as a grounding piece without weighing down the entire look.
