This is what I call a statement look. I designed this 'Milan Rougè' satin gown for the gorgeous Reeshma Nanaiah. The goal was a modern, head-turning red carpet dress with a daring thigh-high slit and an elegant one-shoulder neckline that feels both powerful and effortlessly glamorous.
For director Tharun Sudhir's appearance on the 'Mahanati' TV show, we went with a 'Love & Romance' theme. I designed this custom white three-piece suit and then we hand-painted red roses directly onto the fabric, creating a truly one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art.
For Sonal Monteiro's wedding, every detail mattered. I designed this heavily embroidered bridal blouse to be the centerpiece of her look. The intricate zardosi work and traditional motifs were crafted to complement her Kanchipuram saree, creating a timeless South Indian bridal ensemble.
This handcrafted wedding suit is a testament to my love for detail. I designed this for a groom who wanted something powerful and unique. The deep navy fabric is the perfect canvas for the custom zardosi embroidery of a roaring lion, which flows from the shoulder down the sleeve.
A proud moment on the IIFA Utsavam stage. I styled this coordinated look for Tharun Sudhir and Sonal Monteiro as they accepted their award. It's always special to see my creations become part of such a memorable achievement for my clients.
Seeing my work on a magazine cover is always a thrill. I designed and styled this traditional look for actress Reeshma Nanaiah for the cover of 'Chitrasanthe'. The rich yellow and red combination, paired with a custom embroidered blouse, created a festive and classic look.

About Celebrity & Film Styling

I believe every outfit tells a story, especially in the world of films and red carpet events. For me, styling isn't just about clothes - it’s about building a character or making a star feel like themselves, whether on screen or at an award function.

What I Do

  • I design and style looks for Sandalwood industry stars, from movie costumes to TV show wardrobes and those big red carpet moments.
  • My process starts with understanding the character or celebrity’s vibe. I work closely with directors, actors, and sometimes even use a personal item - adanna itkondu (using that) - as inspiration for the whole look.
  • For TV and film, I focus on custom film costume creation, making sure every detail fits the story. Sometimes it’s minimal, sometimes it’s all-out glam.
  • Red carpet outfit design for events like IIFA Utsavam and Zee Kutumba Awards – statement pieces that turn heads, but also let the celebrity feel comfortable and confident.

How I Work

  • Most pieces are completely bespoke, from sourcing the right fabric to intricate handwork and custom embellishments.
  • I handle fittings myself, making sure the fit and fall are perfect. Even if a client says, “thumba heavy work beda, minimal aagirli” (don’t want heavy work, keep it minimal), I adapt to their needs.
  • Tight deadlines? No problem. I’ve done prototype costumes in just a few days when needed.

My Style Range

  • For him: statement suits, kurtas with a twist, sharp blazers (even “villain style”).
  • For her: red carpet gowns, power suits, concept sarees, fusion outfits.
  • Every project is a collaboration – working with the celeb, director, makeup, and hair artists to get a complete look.

Styling is about trust and teamwork. I love the whole journey, from first idea to that final, memorable look.

My Story

Hey, Rashmi here from Arulaa. Sarees, blouses, every piece we make has some story behind it - not just fabric, but memories stitched in. Sometimes it’s a bride’s muhurtham, sometimes an actor’s big day. I once made a pallu work matching a client’s golden brooch, she went mad with happiness! (Aagide, she was so thrilled!) Ten years with some clients, that’s the best part. From Bangalore to UAE, it’s about heart and craft, always.
