Actor Sridevi was not only a powerhouse of talent but a fashionista who made heads turn with many of her looks. Apart from a long and illustrious cinematic journey of 45 years, Sridevi, who passed away in 2018, became a household name and a favourite with critics for her ability to carry off traditional and modern ensembles with equal finesse. From her perfectly draped designer sarees to her show-stopping jumpsuits, the stylish actor’s immaculate appearances became iconic.

From her first film as a child actor, Sridevi went on to star as a lead actor in 1976 Tamil film Moondru Mudichu, co-starring Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan.
