Ornate clothing is big on the global ramp. Rekha can totally rock this black Siddhartha Tytler cape sleeved jacket and ruched dhoti style pants, teamed with peep toe boots. A deep wine shade for lips and dramatic smoky eyes will complete the look. This deep emerald gown by Shantanu and Nikhil will be an elegant pick for Rekha for a red carpet event. The dramatic ruffled layering makes it equal parts power and romance, just apt for her strong personalit­y. She can style her hair in soft, side swept waves. Pantsuits are having a moment in the fashion world. This gilded pantsuit by Rajesh Pratap Singh with fishmouth label paired with nude peep toes is perfect to mix power with unadultera­ted glam. A choker and an elaborate haathphool will give a fun, quirky spin to this look.

There’s something majestic about Rekha’s beauty. Her olive complexion, classic features and long black hair make her the perfect muse for a designer.

But sadly, her style picks hardly do justice to her charismati­c personalit­y. The 80s diva displays such unflinchin­g loyalty for loud silk saris that she ends up making her look agonisingl­y predictabl­e. So, it was nice to see Rekha take a break from her traditiona­l look and wear turbans, glasses, kurtas and sneakers at a few outings recently.

Encouraged, we decided to dress up Rekha in outfits that flatter her personalit­y, and realised that little efforts can get her amazing results.

Here’s our top pick for the gorgeous actor. Rekha loves the colour white. The actor can rock this white Monisha Jaising sari for a wedding. She will give major style goals in this dance-floor perfect sari with fringes on the pallu. This floor grazing printed gown by Rahul Mishra with cheery, plump flowers club fairytale romance with a dose of fun. She doesn’t need any jewellery with this look. Nude lip colour with a touch of gloss and softly defined eyes will complete her makeup. Note: These pictures have been photoshopp­ed to showcases the stylist’s fashion picks for Rekha.
