In an unexpected style showdown, Pakistani superstar Sajal Aly and Bollywood actress Tara Sutaria were spotted wearing the same glittering black ensemble by designer Shehla Chatoor, but fans have made it clear who wore it better.
Sajal Aly debuted the heavily embellished black dress at the 10th Hum Awards, where she also bagged the Best Actor – Female award for her poignant role in Zard Patton Ka Bunn, a drama that tackled themes of female empowerment and societal resistance.
Despite the major win and the star power she brought to the red carpet coming out of a Ferrari, Sajal’s look fell surprisingly flat for fans.
Styled with silver crystal earrings and a sleek tied hairstyle, many felt the actress’s overall look lacked the flair expected from a red carpet appearance. Some fashion critics pointed out that the tightly pulled hair made the ensemble appear “overworked” and didn’t complement the starlit aura of the dress.
On the other hand, Indian actress Tara Sutaria previously wore the same outfit for the cover shoot of Elle India, and the internet hasn’t forgotten. Tara styled the outfit with a touch of wild elegance, her tousled, loosely braided hair and soft fringe gave the shimmering dress a dreamy, effortless charm. The undone styling contrasted beautifully with the precision of the handcrafted cut-dana work, elevating the dress into a full fashion fantasy.
While Sajal Aly’s powerful on-screen presence continues to win hearts, this style battle has fans agreeing: when it comes to this Shehla Chatoor masterpiece, Tara Sutaria carried it with unmatched grace and attitude.
