Bhumi Pednekar’s Birthday Spotlight: A Showcase of Her Most Fearless Fashion Statements

A look at the birthday girl's fearless runway-worthy moments – from sheer overlays to Victorian-inspired silhouettes; and what they teach us about wearing risk as confidence.

It’s Bhumi Pednekar’s birthday, and what better way to celebrate than raising a glass to her fiery fashion game? Bold, experimental, and never boring, Bhumi loves to explore both unconventional and ethnic styles –  bringing high octane glamour and versatility to the mainstream. Here are five looks that prove she’s never been the one to play it safe.

Bolt Cuts in Black

As the brand ambassador of Mac Cosmetics India, Bhumi Pednekar was invited to a live event by the high-end cosmetics brand. There she set the platform ablaze in a spectacular vintage piece designed by Manfred Thierry –  a part of Mugler’s Fall/Winter 1989 collection. The tailored-to-perfection black gown features a big lightning bolt-patterned cut on the sternum in netted, sheer fabric. She looked absolutely alluring to say the least.

Faux Leather Supremacy

Bhumi turned up the sizzle by drawing some inspiration from Kim Kardashian in this photoshoot. She wears a breathtakingly beautiful burgundy coloured faux-leather co-ord set. The ensemble features a body-hugging, strapless leather corset top with threaded straps at the back for anchoring. She wore a draped long skirt of the same colour to pair with the top. The fitted corset perfectly accented her curves.

Chic in Crochet

The Shuvh Mangal Savdhan star dialled the hotness up to 100 in this sheer, crocheted, off-white bodycon maxi dress designed by Remain Birger Christensen. With thin shoulder straps and an elegant neckline, the hourglass-enhancing cut in a delicate open-knit pattern beautifully highlighted her curves. Styled by Pranita Abhi, the nude-hued innerwear kept her look clean and confident, letting the dress shine. Her voluminous wavy hair and bronzed glam served a soft sultry summer beach vibe.

The Corset Charm

In this photoshoot, Bhumi Pednekar served a look hot enough to set the pulses racing. She donned an ivory draped saree designed by Label De Belle, and paired with an intricately and heavily embellished strapless corset blouse. The saree’s gentle shimmer beautifully reflected the camera lights, while the striking pearl and stone choker from Anayah Jewellery elevated the glamour quotient by a notch without overdoing it. With soft curls, nude lip shade, and minimal makeup, Bhumi sizzled in this ethnic wear.

Experimental Draping with Gaurav Gupta

Last year, the nuptials between Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant was India's biggest spectacle. On the third day of the wedding ceremony, Bhumi Pednekar showed up in a slightly unconventional drape of a contemporary custom saree in black with three pallus designed by Gaurav Gupta. Styled by Chandini Whabi and Simran Mistry, Bhumi’s jewellery choices that night included an ear cuff and necklace from Raj Mahtani Couture Jewels, a statement handcuff from Abhilasha Pret Jewellery and a kada from Shri Paramani Jewels. Her finger rings were from Abhilasha Pret Jewellery and Shri Paramani Jewels too. She accessorised with a jewelled clutch designed by Malaga.

Bhumi Pednekar doesn't just style herself in uniquely pretty dresses – she wears risk with nerve, decking herself in moxie and brio. With every audacious look she serves, the Dum Laga ke Haisha actress reminds us that style isn't only about what's in vogue, it's about owning who you are. Wishing a very Happy Birthday to the lionhearted diva of B-town!
