The Churidar Phase: She made simple cotton churidars look royal. Her go-to look was a muted color kurta (mustard, olive green, or sky blue) with a contrasting dupatta and zero heavy jewelry.
The "Bandana" Look: Who can forget the bandana tied across her forehead? It became a cult fashion statement for college-goers in Chennai.
Western Casual: Boot-cut jeans, spaghetti-strap camisoles, and butterfly clips. Her street-style photos from this era are pure Y2K gold.
