Bollywood actor Narghis Fakhri went for a more casual outfit at the first look of her latest movie Madras Café. Her laid back, edgy look was a refreshing change from the staggering amount of formal wear taking over the red carpet these days. Here’s how to get her look.
Hair
A sleek, high ponytail does wonders for Nargis’ face, drawing attention to her flawless bone structure and statement accessory. Simply straighten your hair and tie it back tightly to achieve a similar effect.
Makeup
Nargis went for graceful make-up, which you can imitate by applying ample amounts of Maybelline’s Colossal Kajal (Rs500) and Colossal Volum Express mascara (Rs600) as she did. A slight hint of Rimmel’s Natural Bronzer (Rs1,000) is all you need to accentuate your cheekbones. Her lips are a delightful nude shade, which you can get by simply applying Revlon Colourburst lip butter in Pink Truffle shade (Rs600). Nargis’ dark red nails are timeless and Essie’s Really Red nail polish (Rs8,00) would do just the trick. Her beauty shines through the make-up, as it should.
Outfit
Pairing a faded chambray shirt with a printed top screams edgy, and Nargis is just that in this outfit. With her simple black pants, she manages to look good without even trying. You can buy a similar graphic tee and chambray shirt at Levis (Rs3,500) or even head to Sunday Bazar for cheaper alternatives.
Accessories and Shoes
Minimal accessories really stand out, and we think the single feather earring adds a good amount of funk, along with the bang-on-trend tan oxfords. Check out Timberland (Rs4,500) for a similar pair. The thick single bangle also goes very well with the clutch Nargis is carrying. Overall, we think pulling off an edgy and laid back look on the red carpet is close to impossible, but Nargis nailed it!
