On-Set Wardrobes | What Darshan Raval, Mahima Makwana, Rick Roy and Prayrak Mehta Wear to Work

From Balenciaga shoes to heirloom saris and everyday denim, four creative personalities share the pieces they wear on repeat — and the keepsakes they cherish.

Ananya Shankar

RICK ROY (Fashion Stylist)

Costume designer and fashion stylist Rick Roy is known for his fearless approach to fashion. He’s styled some of Bollywood’s biggest stars and worked on films such as Housefull 2 (2012) and Bhai Tera Star Hai (2026), building a reputation for bringing the drama through clothes.

Mood Dressing

“My personal style is absolutely, ridiculously outrageous.” Roy says. “I can be dressed outrageously glamorous for the most random thing during the day if I’m in the mood for it, or I can look completely drab and homeless.”

Footwear Philosophy

Roy doesn’t believe in having a signature pair of shoes. “My footwear is always matched to the look I’m creating,” he says, switching between his ₹800 loafers and “very expensive” Balenciaga shoes.

Wardrobe Perspective

“I find the idea of treasuring garments a little ridiculous unless they hold emotional value,” he says, “like your mother’s sari or something that carries a special memory.”

Statement Accessories

Roy skips wearing watches altogether but loves jewellery. “Rings, bracelets and cuffs are my favourites. I love gems, stones, and crystals, and I especially love big, bold gold rings with coloured gemstones. However, I’m not a fan of white diamonds at all. I absolutely love coloured diamonds and gemstones, though — every colour, really!”

DARSHAN RAVAL (Singer)

Singer-songwriter Darshan Raval has become one of India’s most loved pop voices with chart-topping romantic ballads and independent releases. Fresh off the release of his latest single, “Barsaat Lagdi Ae” with Warner Music India, Raval balances understated everyday dressing with polished stage-ready looks that reflect his music.

Everyday Essentials

“A simple linen shirt is my go-to, paired with my most comfortable denim jeans,” he says.

Favourite Sneakers

Raval loves his Onitsuka Tigers, because they are comfortable and can be styled easily with most of his outfits.

Wardrobe Pick

Raval names one of his latest buys as a favourite item in his wardrobe: “My recently bought Rolex.”

Minimal Accessories

“A classy watch that complements my outfit can elevate an entire look,” says Raval. When it comes to jewellery,” he says, “I prefer subtle pieces — maybe a chain, a ring, or a bracelet, but nothing too loud. I like accessories that add character without taking attention away from the overall look.”

PRAYRAK MEHTA (Actor)

Actor Prayrak Mehta, seen in shows such as Criminal Justice (2019) and Kohrra 2 this year, is known for his thoughtful approach to both acting and personal style. He favours comfort-first dressing elevated with carefully selected accessories that reflect his personality.

Comfort First

“The way I dress usually depends on my mood, the demands of the day, and often, the character I’m playing at the time,” Mehta says. “Before stepping into that transformation, I like to keep things effortless. A white kurta paired with relaxed, baggy jeans, comfortable foam runners, a sling bag for my scripts and essentials, and a pair of tinted sunglasses.”

Go-to Sneakers

His go-to sneakers are the New Balance 327s, that he says work with just about everything he wears.

Meaningful Keepsake

“An outfit I designed for the premiere of Kohrra,” the actor says. “It holds a special place in my heart because it represents a milestone on so many levels. My entire family was there, and it was also the first time our screening collective, VHS, collaborated with Netflix to co-host a premiere.”

Everyday Accessories

“Lately I’ve been reaching for a pair of slim, rust-tinted Salvatore Ferragamo frames,” he says. “As for watches, my go-to is usually my Tissot PRX. On more casual days, I switch to my classic Casio digital dial watch.”

MAHIMA MAKWANA (Actor)

Actor Mahima Makwana has built a career across TV and films, with performances in projects like Antim: The Final Truth (2021) and the recent Musafir Cafe. Known for her effortless off-duty style, she favours classic, comfort-first dressing elevated with thoughtful accessories.

Classic Everyday Style

“A pair of good denim jeans and a shirt,” Makwana says. “On days I want to be even more comfortable, I go for a sweatshirt and high-waist tracks.”

Favourite Footwear

White sneakers are her everyday staple. Nike AirForce1’s, Converse shoes and Birkenstock sandals are in her weekly rotation.

Sentimental Wardrobe Pieces

“The red outfit I wore for the Antim premiere will always be special,” she says. “And some kurtis I’ve made out of my mum’s saris.”

Elevated Essentials

“Accessories can totally change your look. It’s either an Apple Watch or a gold-toned watch. I love stacking my watch with some gold bracelets and earrings. I also love my rings!” Her overall aesthetic, Makwana says is, “Classic, comfortable and chic.”
