Keerthy Suresh introduced a fabulously rooted flavour of Indian fashion to the Toronto International Film Festival, making the global red carpet a witness to her Tamil and Kerala roots. The actress opted for South India’s culture instead of the usual world of glamour and incorporated traditional art with local elements to make her look contemporary. Let’s decode it.


She finished her ensemble off with a set of traditional Kerala jewellery that added just the right amount of South Indian culture to the event. She wore a gold necklace with different layers as well as stunning gold earrings. Her makeup style brought out sultry tones in the glow, where she experimented with a perfect combination of drama and grace. Her smoky eyes were done in the same tones of brown, giving the whole image a perfect balance of elegance and drama. She completed the look with a subtle dusty-rose lipstick and a sleek bun. With her TIFF appearance, she reminded everyone that heritage dressing need not be limited to festive occasions or local runways. With an audience from around the world, Keerthy successfully wove heritage into the fashion conversation and demonstrated that tradition can be as impactful as haute couture when done with flair. Sharing the pictures on Instagram, the actress wrote, “For Dorothy at the Toronto International Film Festival. A fusion of Kanchipuram Silk x Kaashu Maala – a celebration of my Tamil and Kerala roots here at Toronto.”
