Her coy charm charms instantly. But Radhika Madan has a flair for the edgy. If you’re wondering what this edgy style of hers really means? It’s simply being unconventional and distinct. And Radhika Madan has figured out a landscape to frolic in it with an unabashed spirit – whether it’s films or fashion. An edgy film repertoire compliments an equally edgy off-screen fashion one. For instance, a week ago her film Sanaa opened the 25th UK Asia Film Festival in London. Her edgy style aesthetic was courtesy of her stylist Amandeep Kaur and feted designer Neeta Lulla. Thinking outside of the box, we saw Radhika pairing together unusual pieces. It was a whimsical yet modern take on an Indian warrior princess.
Currently basking in the glory of yet another successful stint – Homi Adajania’s Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo, Radhika Madan is a certified style cynosure. She goes on to give homegrown and international labels a worthy tap with her style offerings. Here’s a closer look at Radhika Madan’s modern-day princess avatar.
Fierce, Edgy and Feminine – Radhika Madan
It was a bespoke Neeta Lulla creation featuring a blue and gold silk skirt replete with details such as thigh-high slit and mesh. She paired this with a high-neck underwired crop top in black leather underlined with the same blue-gold fabric as the skirt. A pair of thigh-high black leather boots, ear cuffs from Lune, side parted slick low ponytail upped the look. Radhika finished the look with a bold glam of winged eyes, strong eyebrows, and deeply lined eyes with a hint of teal blue and nude lips.
Style notes
It’s all about the right details in this edgy aesthetic – leather and ear cuffs. We love how Radhika gave the traditional gowns and pantsuits a rest, allowing her costume/theme-based bespoke ensemble to take centre stage. Not only did it allow her to play aplenty with the glam but also keep things minimal too.
Sanaa, directed by Sudhanshu Saria also features Sohum Shah, Shikha Talsania and Pooja Bhatt in pivotal roles. The drama film, follows the protagonist Radhika Madan, an ambitious girl who is raging against an internal battle that is rooted in unhealed trauma. The film has been revelling at international film festivals like Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, Santa Barbara International Film Festival, UK Asia Film Festival and the New York Indian Film Festival.
Radhika Madan will also be seen in Kacchey Limbu with Rajat Barmecha and Ayush Mehra, Tamil film Soorarai Pottru‘s Hindi remake tentatively called Production No. 27 with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. She will also be seen in Dinesh Vijan’s social thriller film Happy Teacher’s Day with Nimrat Kaur.
