From Sreeleela and Samantha to Janhvi and Alia Bhatt, check out how actors are making heads turn with their style statements, and get inspired

Hyderabad: Summer isn’t just a season — it’s a feeling, a burst of warmth, a canvas painted with endless possibilities. This isn’t a weather update, but an invitation to embrace everything this radiant season has to offer.

Picture this: the cool, refreshing taste of watermelon juice, the tangy fizz of sweet lime soda dancing on your tongue, or the juicy burst of a perfectly ripe mango. These are the flavours that awaken your senses, signalling that summer has arrived. But, that’s just one slice of the story.

As you indulge in seasonal treats, take a moment to observe the vibrant world around you. Let the colours of summer inspire your fashion choices over the next two months. From the pastel palettes to bold, fiery hues, the style spectrum is as vast as the summer sky. And who better to guide you than the tinsel town trendsetters?

Pastel magic

From Alia Bhatt and Janhvi Kapoor to the Telugu industry’s rising star Sreeleela, pastel shades are making waves. Whether it’s dreamy colour combinations or solid, serene hues, these soft tones are perfect for summer. Think ice cream-inspired shades — pale pink, creamy pistachio green, or refreshing mint green. For a touch of elegance, opt for solid colours like pale blue or blush pink, adorned with sequins or delicate embroidery.

Warm it up

When it comes to bold, warm shades, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sara Ali Khan are leading the charge with their stunning choices in red, and orange. Rashmika Mandanna shines in a traditional yellow embroidered kurta and dupatta, exuding charm and grace. Rakul Preet Singh adds a pop of joy with a solid pink dress, her radiant smile lighting up the look.

Bling it on

Janhvi Kapoor continues to dazzle with her fearless fashion choices. In a recent photoshoot, she effortlessly rocked a blood-red sequined tube dress. Samantha Ruth Prabhu elevated her style game with a lavender-hued sari paired with a beaded grey spaghetti blouse. She completed the look with a crystal-embellished drape and a striking choker neckline that brought it all together neatly, while making a bold, fashionable statement.

Bold and colourful

Actor Sharvari Wagh confidently embraces the summer spirit in a vibrant, multi-coloured tube dress. The rich blend of red, blue, green, brown, and yellow creates a mesmerising, cohesive look. Paired with an asymmetrical drape in matching hues, it’s a perfect example of how to wear bold colours with grace.

This summer, let your instincts guide you. Trust your style, pick colours that resonate with your personality, and choose fabrics — cotton, chiffon, georgette, silk, and linen — that keep you cool and confident. Whether you’re channelling pastel charm, bold warmth, or sparkling glamour, summer is your runway. Dress to please yourself, and shine in every shade.
