Archana, The Desi Boss Babe

x

Archana Iyer dresses like someone who loves her traditions but also knows her way around a power move.

One day, the Shambhala actress is wrapped in classic Indian silhouettes that celebrate her desi heart; the next, she’s stepping out in sharp pantsuits and structured separates that mean business. Her wardrobe swings effortlessly between traditional and boardroom classics.

Archana’s style is all about owning who you are -- rooted, confident and unapologetically stylish.
