Over the years, Bollywood actress Tamannaah Bhatia has developed a sharp knack for making fashion look effortless with the help of her style and beauty team. Whether she’s sporting an Indian couture garment or slaying a Western outfit, she never fails to deliver a memorable look for her public appearances. At the recently held Zee Cine Awards, she showed a unique blended outfit and got massive rave reviews for her signature style. The actor walked the red carpet in a striking black ensemble designed by Indian designer Manish Malhotra, blending vintage glamour with sharp tailoring and bold attitude.

The actress knows how to balance classic and modern as she pulled off a corset and a power blazer with the same ease as a traditional sari. For the awards night, her outfit featured a structured blazer-style gown with a strong shoulder and clean lines. Worn over a corset inspired by Victorian fashion, it gave the whole look a sense of strength and drama. Tamannaah’s skirt fell in soft, flowing drapes, balancing out the tailored jacket with movement and ease.

The black-on-black palette kept things sleek and polished, while a bold brooch added a hint of old-school charm. Adding a brooch to a designer outfit is one of those subtle moves that can completely change the tone of a look, and for Tamannaah’s look the accessory added a hint of nostalgia and drama without overpowering the theme. The actress paired her outfit with sky-high black stilettos and kept the rest of her look minimal. A few delicate rings and simple earrings were enough to prove that sometimes, less really is more.

By choosing strong silhouettes and keeping the styling clean, she stood out without trying too hard. Interestingly, the actress picked the occasion to unveil one of the top summer hairdos, and styled her hair into a soft, voluminous bob. Framing her face perfectly and adding to the clean, modern feel to the look, the bob haircut added oodles of edge and attitude. Her makeup followed a similar minimalist approach. With a glowing foundation base, soft gold shimmer on the eyes, and fluttery lashes, her face looked fresh and radiant for the red carpet. Blush in a pinkish tone gave her cheeks a natural flush, while glossy nude lips tied the whole look together. It was simple, but done with care, and added to her natural completion without feeling overdone for the glam night out.

Tamannaah’s look felt confident, current, and perfectly suited to the red carpet. Sharing the pictures from her photo shoot behind the spotlight, the actress wrote on her Instagram, “Ready for a night dedicated to the audience.” (SIC)
