In Payal Khandwala
It’s been ages since we saw Ms. Mukherjee on these pages and boy, it was so good to see her make an appearance at the HT Most Stylish Awards. And shall we also talk about this curveball she threw us.
Let’s be frank, given how big a Sabyasachi fan she is, one would’ve thought she’d make her big red carpet appearance in one of his designs. That is not to say we aren’t loving her this Payal Khandwala look. We totally are. Props for not doing a gown or the same ole anarkali.

Not a fashion expert but lo e her abd loving the look!
Love Payal Khandwala – Rani looks like a rani!
She looks gorgeous and fresh! I love too that she’s not wearing the usual chamkila sari or anarkali that we see so often these days!
I find this outfit ridiculous. It’s fusion wear gone wrong.
+1.. what exactly is going on here? Maybe if those were cigarette pants this outfit would have worked but right now it’s ridonkoulous
agree.
I think she looked amazing .. it was simple yet affective.
Red color really compliments her and also loved the makeup
Kudos for trying smth new and looks damn good on her !!
It’s an unexpected love for me! The silhouette is refreshing and I really like the combination of colours.
Yikes! The outfit is not nice but if she had to wear this then maybe she should have just gone without the jacket.
She is looking beautiful but the outfit is out of sorts.
Surely a welcome change of pace, but that doesn’t make it right. The heavy-handedness of the silhouette and three contrasting colours isn’t easy on the eye.
The more i look at it the less i mind it
She looks happy natural and fresh. Thats refreshing in itself to see someone happily wearing a smile without the usual stiff poses
I think she is getting lost in the jacket because she isn’t very tall and this is making her boxy. But nice to see her
I think she’s looking really cool and comfortable.
Wrong event for this dress
I wish she was wearing a scooped-neck shirt underneath. She doesn’t have a long neck and this is making her look like she doesn’t have one at all. Otherwise, a great change of pace. I’d have never thought her a Payal Khandwala girl.
+ 1000!!
A low v neck would have given the much needed relief ?o the layers of clothing. She looks great still! Agree about not a typical gown or sari or Anarkali. She looks great!
She looks like she’s trapped inside a red box. She should have gone for her usual Sabyasachi.
Lol..yes
Lol. She definitely seems trapped. There are this bunch who always stuff themselves or get trapped in such ridiculous outfits in the name of fashion which doesnt suit their body type or personality.
Agree with you.
I dont know if it is the fit of the shoulders or if she was cold, but she looks as if she is hunched and shivering.
All wrong. This jacket was made for someone taller. Look how low the buttons are! The proportions are completely off. The clothes are wearing her.
can we have a like/love button for the posts??? i loveeeee this look n more so love seeing her back.
I don’t know. This is too boxy for her frame I feel.
Its lovely to see Rani on these pages, and great not to see her in the anarkalis. The red looks great on her, but I wish the neckline was more open – as is it looks too stuffy on the top. Also, wish the trousers were more streamlined.
