Kangana Ranaut's recent appearances at Parliament have sparked comparisons to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, with observers noting similarities in their sartorial choices. Ranaut, now a Member of Parliament, has been seen sporting a style that subtly echoes the elegance and power dressing associated with Gandhi.
Ranaut's parliamentary style incorporates sarees as a statement of modern power dressing. Her choice of jewelry, often simple strands of pearls or understated studs, also nods to the elegance of past political figures like Indira Gandhi and Maharani Gayatri Devi. This understated approach to accessories complements her overall look, adding a touch of sophistication without being overtly flashy.
Another element of Ranaut's signature parliamentary look is her collection of oversized sunglasses. These provide a layer of celebrity mystique as she navigates her new role as a public servant.
Beyond sarees, Ranaut has showcased a fearless approach to layering, especially during the Delhi winter. She has effectively replaced traditional shawls with commanding trenches and blazers, adding a contemporary twist to her outfits.
Earlier, Ranaut wore a military green saree from Fabindia. The cotton sari featured a dark olive green and dull gold border, paired with a collarbone-grazing neckline and three-quarter sleeves.
Ranaut recently shared pictures on Instagram with Hema Malini from Parliament. In the photos, Ranaut is wearing a lavender sweater with a peach saree, while Malini is wearing a printed yellow and green saree. Ranaut captioned the photo, "Sansad mein sukoon ke kuch pal with #dreamgirl,".
Ranaut's film "Emergency," in which she portrays Indira Gandhi, was released in theaters on January 17.
