Aditi Rao Hydari

1 look decoded

An actress working across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam cinema since her Hindi debut in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi-6 (2009). She won the Screen Award for Best Supporting Actress for Yeh Saali Zindagi (2011), played Queen Mehrunisa in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat (2018), returned to Tamil cinema in Mani Ratnam’s Kaatru Veliyidai (2017), and most recently played Bibbojaan in Bhansali’s Netflix series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar (2024). Off screen she favours quiet, editorial Indian silhouettes over loud red-carpet statement pieces, which is why her event looks tend to be built around one strong embroidered or printed garment rather than layers of accessories.
