About Dressing the Part: My Event Lookbook
A lot of people ask me how I manage to look stage-ready straight off a flight. The secret is functional styling. I work with my stylist to create pieces like my patchwork jacket that survive long travel, but still pack a punch the moment I grab the mic.
When I host, I am not just an anchor. I am an 'Anchertainer'. My outfit is not just about looking good. It is about telling the story of the event. Whether it is a 'Shaam-E-Sufiyana' where I need to look royal in velvet, or a poolside carnival where a sequined blazer helps me catch the light, my goal is to blend into the theme completely.
I collaborate with stylist Sofia Puthawala to curate looks that match the energy of the crowd. If it is a 'Born to be Wild' baby shower, I show up in jungle-embroidered suits. If I am on a Garba stage with Bhoomi Trivedi, I am rocking mirror-work vests. It is about commitment to the scene.
There is also a practical side. I often land in a city and head straight to the venue. That is why I have developed travel-friendly statement pieces that are comfortable for a flight but sharp enough to walk right onto the main stage. If you are planning a themed wedding, a concert, or a high-energy gala, let us chat about what the 'character' for your event should be.
