Happy Birthday, Twinkle Khanna! 7 Times Mrs Funnybones Showed Ways to Channel Energies in Fashion
Twinkle Khanna is a woman of many talents, strong opinions, and a fashion knack that’s unusual and far from the ordinary. For her, fashion extends beyond clothes, brands or patterns; it’s more about speaking her mind through her wardrobe choices — one that’s daring, experimental and far from the ordinary. On her birthday today, here’s looking at the times she let her closet speak volumes.
Corporate Chic
Talk about experimenting! Twinkle Khanna donned a chequered drape by Raw Mango, in hues of blues, greys, whites and a yellow contrast — and paired it candidly with a crisp white shirt with folded sleeves and a crisp collar, marking a bold move in fashion. With this pairing, Twinkle let the saree’s pattern take centre stage against a plain white shirt. She accessorised her look with oxidised silver jewellery, including chunky bracelets, studs and a magnanimous ring.
Pop-n-coat
Twinkle chose to infuse our feeds with a good dose of vibrancy by donning a multi-coloured long coat with detailed prints all over. The author showed what a maximalist palette can look like! She paired her ensemble with a cream bow tied across her neck, finely bringing the look together with a brown satchel bag.
Evergreen in Green
Twinkle channelled modern luxe energy in a deep emerald green satin blouse by Simkhai, featuring elongated sleeves and a one-shoulder drop. The author paired the top with a chequed skirt by Dries Van Noten, featuring a knotted detail at the centre of her waistline and pleated details all around. She went bold with the accessory department by opting for golden contemporary earrings and a rich, oversized bracelet and a spiral ring.
Chanderi Drape
Twinkle Khanna radiated traditional sophistication in a rich green-coloured Chanderi saree with textured patterns and a thick border. She paired the drape with an emerald green coloured blouse featuring a modest V-neck and vertical prints. Mrs Funnybones simply accessorised her look with chandelier earrings, a kada in one hand, styled her hair in a bun and brought her look together with a bright red bindi.
Rani Pink Drape
Striking a balance between refinement and relatability, Twinkle Khanna served the ultimate ethnic look in a rani pink saree adorned with delicate golden motifs, metallic tones, a zari border, lotus-inspired motifs and a luminous sheen. She paired the drape with an antique golden blouse with elbow-length sleeves and a tailored fit, offering a much-needed structure. For jewellery, Mrs Funnybones picked a pair of statement golden earrings and a chunky bracelet.
Rustic Blue Drape
Twinkle donned a rustic blue drape featuring a marine print. She offered her look a fiery edge by pairing it with a vertical printed top featuring balloon sleeves and zested her overall ensemble with structured metal-framed glasses.
Coating it Up
Twinkle Khanna made a striking appearance at Vivienne Westwood’s India show in Mumbai and made heads turn in a rust top paired with maroon pants. She topped it up with a beige blazer and added a stylish statement chain brooch to accentuate her look. Khanna completed her look with a classic Birkin bag, and made a case for a strong statement look.
When it comes to fashion, Twinkle Khanna has never been the one to play it safe, and that’s what sets her apart. On the work front, Twinkle is back with Mrs Funnybones Returns, a sequel to her 2015 best-selling book. The love and wholesome reactions pouring in from readers are clear indications that the sequel has lived up to its promise of being wittier and sassier.
