The real star in Netflix's 'The Royals'? Kavya Trehan's edgy wardrobe
Fashion is one of the true MVPs of Netflix's new series The Royals – aside from Ishaan Khatter's much-discussed (and drooled-over) chiselled abs, of course. Just kidding. Sort an ensemble cast that includes Bhumi Pednekar, Ishaan Khatter, Lisa Misra, Sakshi Tanwar, Zeenat Aman, Milind Soman, and more, the series unfolds as a rom-com between a Rajkumar (prince) and an 'Aam Kumari' (commoner). While the story and script haven't exactly won over audiences, the sartorial drama is a show in itself – with both weak and strong Royals almost stereotyped royals by dressing the Morpur women in heavy sarees, heavier jewellery, and even heavier makeup (even when they are at home, simply having lunch), and showed Bhumi's character attending a board meeting in a sports bra – but it redeems itself by introducing a fashion force like Kavya Trehan (who plays Jinnie). Kavya Trehan as Jinnie in The Royals. Trehan plays a modern-day princess who wears her personality on her sleeves (quite literally). Vibrant, eclectic, full of drama, yet rooted in tradition – Jinnie's wardrobe is a near-mirror reflection of her homegrown labels are her sartorial soulmates. Be it Huemn, boho champions Saaksha & Kinni, or eccentricity promoters Doh Tak Keh – it is a wholesome mix depicting the modern cultural fashion movement taking shape she slips into a saree, it is not without a hint of edginess. Or, when she wears a bandhani – it is not a usual saree or a dupatta, but a belted drape worn over a crisp white shirt and paired with black she navigates a chaotic world of secrets and inheritance disputes, she finds an accomplice in her regal-yet-rebellious fashion. This sartorial style, must we add, makes her stand out in the show. Oh, and she doesn't take her accessories lightly either. Stacks of bangles, necklaces and rings serve as her additional armour.

So read on as we break down some of the most striking fashion moments from The Royals – and uncover the styling lessons they have to white shirt needs a styling upgradeYes, a white shirt is a wardrobe staple. And yes, it looks great with a pair of jeans. But if you think that's the only way to wear it, it is a a major fashion lesson to steal from Princess Jinnie. In one prominent scene, she rocks a white shirt featuring embroidered collars with a contrasting red Saaksha & Kinni bandhani drape cinched at the waist with a belt. She adorns the cuff of her sleeve with a chunky silver bangle, and also adds layers of pearls on the neck. In an edgy twist to the anyway neo-traditional look, she rounds up the look with pointed black boots. Bandhani, but make it contemporary ft. Kavya Trehan in The Royals.

In one scene, she is a modern maharani clad in an electric blue saree with double pallus, styled with a cropped blouse with a gloved sleeve.

Mixed metallic accessories, embellished heels, and a statement belt serve as allies, adding sharpness to the otherwise flowy ensemble.

Keep the makeup minimal when the outfit is loud (if you desire a balanced look). Minimal makeup + bold-coloured outfits = Balanced look.

A Hyper-real harmony: Drama & sound converge at genre-bending gig
Multifaceted creative Kavya Trehan aka KAVYA talks about crafting immersive live experiences — layering sound, light, and movement to build a surreal sonic world on stage I've always wanted to create a world where people can feel safe to just be,' says Delhi-based singer-songwriter, KAVYA aka Kavya Trehan . That intention came through vividly during her recent performance in Hyderabad, which blended theatrical elements with immersive soundscapes — and gradually built into a set that was both meditative and deeply rhythmic.

'I miss going to a stage and feeling emotions transform' Returning to live performance , the musician leaned into her theatre roots — a craft she's been immersed in since the age of eight — to create a set that felt more like a narrative unfolding than just a playlist. 'In this world, when we are overburdened with information at the second call of our fingertips, I really miss my theatre background. I miss physically going to a stage and feeling emotions transform,' she shared. That desire played out in the very first moments of her set as she opened the show lying still on the floor, resembling a woodland spirit waking from slumber. From there, the performance gradually swelled, layering immersive soundscapes with movement, light, and a sense of otherworldliness. 'Instead of trying to do something that's trending, I wanted to lean into the fundamental reason I'm a creative person. I wanted to make something that comes from my core,' she added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo The last time I was in Hyderabad, my crew and I took back 4–5 kilos of biryani for our friends.
