She chose to go bold with her make-up with well-defined eyebrows, dark eye makeup, and a nude lipstick.
'Unafraid of the dark, gimme black anyday'... A colour I celebrate as an armour…I love you guys beyond!!! #yourstruly #duggadugga … A shoutout to my wonderful team!!!'
On May 21, Sushmita celebrated 31 years since her historic Miss Universe win, which made her the first Indian woman to be crowned Miss Universe on May 21, 1994, in Manila, Philippines.
Sushmita shared a string of throwback unseen photos from the iconic moment she was crowned Miss Universe, including stunning shots from the pageant and her proudly posing with the crown. She wrote: '21st May 1994 #Manila. A historical win that introduced an 18yr old Indian girl to the Universe!!!
