Sobhita Dhulipala is as multifarious as they come. She was the first runner up at Femina Miss India 2013, needless to say, she is gorgeous. She comes with a great head on her shoulders (proof: Her witty Instagram captions) and, of course, her great acting skills which have been on display since she made her debut with Raman Raghav 2.0 through Made in Heaven to Ghost Stories. To top it all, she has a great sense of style which makes it even harder for us to take our eyes off her.
As the actor turns 28, we thought of revisiting all her ethnic looks which lend the actor her signature vintage vibes, think heritage sarees, bindis, traditional jewelry, gajra in her hair, and a classic chignon; and who knows, she might just inspire you to raid your mom's closets for similar sarees!
Let's sit back and decode her steal-worthy ethnic wardrobe together and give ourselves a visual treat, shall we?
White Organza Saree by Torani
One of her best looks so far, this white Torani saree is definitely a must-have in every woman's wardrobe. Did you get the Made in Heaven vibe already? Look every bit as elegant as her with minimal jewelry and a chic hairdo with minimal makeup.

Classic Popat Jangla Saree by Kshitij Jalori
This piece definitely reminds us of our mom's traditional sarees. Use this saree, that is by Kshitij Jalori, to recreate the picture of your mom wearing it, and trust us it'll get you a galore of compliments. Take Sobhita's word for it and add traditional danglers and a bindi that takes all the attention.
Banarasi Silk Saree by Ekaya Banaras
Do we even need to explain the importance of a traditional banarasi saree? Add this heirloom-worthy piece from Ekaya to your closet. You can even opt for this as a part of your bridal trousseau. Pair with a contrasting blue-green blouse for an elevated effect.

Floral printed saree by Torani
Since the half-and-half style is trending on our charts for quite a while, we were not surprised to see that it has taken over ethnic wear as well. Pick this resplendent printed velvet-organza saree with a matching potli by Torani for any reception or soiree with Sobhita's signature deets, including the red roses decked in your hair.

Chanderi Saree by Dot
Just like silk and organza, add a classic chanderi saree to your ethnic closet. Start off with this simple brown one by Dot and pair it with a statement blouse. Style it with a maangtikka or crystal danglers if you're attending your friend's cocktail party.

Black saree by Raw Mango
More often than not, it's the minute details that make a look vintage. Notice the gajra, bindi, and the hairdo? They take away all the glory to make the look seem classic. Also, we have our eye on the pretty Aanchal Sayal potli that can be styled with any ethnic wear.
White Saree by Ridhi Mehra
Sure, it's established that this utterly-elegant Ridhi Mehra saree belongs in a closet, but the hairdo and the contemporary jewellery elevate the look. If you're a minimalist at heart, then this is your go-to look for a party.
Silk Saree by Ekaya Banaras
If you find yourself amidst many wedding invitations (the postponed ones, of course), it's a good idea to stack this striped silk saree by Ekaya for one of them. Just like Sobhita, pair umbrella-inspired earrings with a kan-chain for the max effect. Stay away from heavy accessorizing and opt for nude makeup.
Here's wishing the stunner a very happy birthday and a fabulous year ahead, with more of elegant ethnic looks of course.
