With her latest film Epic -- First Semester making noise, it’s safe to say Vaishnavi Chaitanya’s fashion sense is pretty epic too.
One minute she’s serving boho beach girl energy; the next, she’s turning up in elegant saris and edgy Indo-western fits.
Her style never feels overdone yet she always manages to stand out, which is the hardest fashion skill to master.
