Few stars embody grace and gravitas quite like Sushmita Sen. Her fashion choices, much like her persona, have always carried a rare blend of authority and allure. For her recent appearance in Doha, the actor once again redefined sophisticated glamour, donning an ivory Malta silk jacket by Rohit Bal — a creation that fused timeless Indian craftsmanship with sculptural precision.
The look felt less like an outfit and more like a mood — poised, polished, and profoundly powerful.
Tailoring Meets Timeless Craft
Rohit Bal’s mastery lies in his ability to make structure appear fluid, and this jacket was a perfect testament to that artistry. The longline silhouette — featuring a high collar, fitted bodice, and flared panels — sculpted the body without confining it. Every seam seemed intentional, every flare deliberate.
The tonal floral embroidery, meticulously handworked across the silk, lent texture and depth while maintaining the purity of ivory. Beneath the jacket, a subtle hint of black anchored the look, allowing the embroidery to shimmer with understated grace.
The play between light and dark, structure and softness, mirrored Sushmita’s signature duality — strength wrapped in serenity.
Jewels That Speak in Colour
If the ensemble whispered quiet opulence, the jewellery brought a confident dialogue to the look. Styled by Theia Tekchandaney, Sushmita layered diamond and gold chains to perfection, culminating in a sculptural pendant encrusted with rubies and aquamarines.
The contrast of the red and blue gemstones against the monochrome base created a striking visual rhythm — a hint of drama without excess. It’s this instinctive balance of bold and restrained that defines her approach to elegance.
A Moment of Effortless Power
Sushmita Sen’s latest look in Rohit Bal’s creation wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was a celebration of tailored femininity and quiet power. The ensemble’s refined construction and poetic detail reflected both the designer’s craftsmanship and the actor’s timeless poise.
