Singers

One of Indian hip-hop’s most skilled and introspective voices, New Delhi-based (aka Krishna Kaul) isn’t just known for his razor-sharp lyrics; his personal style is equally compelling. With the recent release of his EP Far From Over, a five-track exploration of resilience, self-doubt and evolution, Kr$na proves he’s not here to blend in. Describing his aesthetic as “street casual”, the rapper keeps it real whether he’s in the studio or on the move. One can usually find him in baggy jeans and a relaxed tee or experimenting with layers and coordination depending on his mood. In the studio, comfort reigns. “Big track pants and a T-shirt in the summer, or a nice cosy hoodie in the winter with some white Air Forces on my feet,” says Kaul. Whether performing, producing, or just hanging back, Kr$na’s style, much like his music, is sharply curated and authentically his own.

Actors

Best known for Jamtara (2020), The Zoya Factor (2019), and The Royals (2025), actor Udit Arora tells The Hollywood Reporter India that comfort and polish walk together in his wardrobe. “I lean towards pastels and relaxed fits — clean, breathable, and a bit effortless,” he shares. White pants are a staple in his daytime look, often paired with a structured blazer to bring in a touch of formality; on set, it’s all about loose silhouettes. And for readings or press, a smart jacket seals the look.

Speaking of jackets, actor Shaan R Grover has a really special one in his closet. Having worked in projects like Sanam Teri Kasam (2016), Roohaniyat (2022) and RejctX (2019), Grover reveals owning Shah Rukh Khan’s black Dolce & Gabbana leather jacket from Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012). Cheekily, the actor says, “Now don’t ask me how I got it!” Off-duty, the actor is a staunch minimalist. “I like neutral tones, and pieces that are versatile but still feel intentional,” Grover says. “To me, elegance doesn’t need to shout to be noticed.” His go-to fit for work usually comprises a black or white shirt or a round-neck tee paired with a pair of well-fitted denims or trousers. “Simple, classic, and always looks good without trying too hard,” as he puts it.

Much like him, actor Kunal Bhan keeps his everyday look clean and understated — fitted solid tees or funky casual shirts, always paired with a good watch and a few accessories. For work, he trusts the stylist completely. The actor who’s starred in Prime Video’s Jubilee (2023), Sanjivani (2019) and Mercy — a film that was showcased at the UK Asian Film Festival in 2025 — explains, “I know it’s my look, so from home to set or event, it’s generally a simple plain white or black tee.” Adding, “Maybe I’ve grown superstitious over the years but that works for me quite a bit.”

Entrepreneurs

In a few short years, Vedant Mahajan has quickly made a name for himself as one of the most influential figures in London’s South Asian nightlife scene. The Mumbai-born entrepreneur started MVM Entertainment as a teenager, curating events that rapidly evolved from terrace parties in India to high-profile soirées with actors like Ed Westwick in attendance. For Mahajan, fashion is about balance and mood over fleeting trends. “Some nights I like to keep things simple and understated,” he says, “other times I’ll lean into something bolder.” When it comes to major MVM events, he’s all in — treating himself to standout pieces like a Celine varsity jacket or something from Harrods or Selfridges. But his off-duty uniform leans minimal: clean Zegna shirts, quality tees, and always a classic watch — an accessory he’s deeply passionate about.
