She's ALL That!

Behind her glamorous and beautiful persona is a person who is introvert and extremely family- and house-proud. Small in stature, colossal in ambition, Tara Sutaria is one to watch out for

It’s a balmy Saturday morning when I meet with Tara Sutaria ahead of our cover shoot on the private beach of The St. Regis Goa Resort. The soothing sound of the waves reverberate, while the briny Goa winds whirl around us, tinting the sky a turquoise blue. “Right now, I am a beach person. I am taking a trip to the Maldives soon,” Tara tells me. Her voice lilts up and down with every word. “I must add I do love the mountains too, and Italy has been on my bucket list for the longest time,” she adds as a way of explanation.

Soon, the sweltering subequatorial heat makes its presence felt. Tara, although dressed in an ornate lehenga and diamonds, is cool, collected and composed. Within minutes, the star with an angelic face transforms into a sensual, sexy bride. Her hair is tousled in Olsen-infuenced beach waves and barely-there makeup to match. “I am a 90s kid and absolutely love the style from that era. Beauty wise, I love the nude makeup trend or even how I wear my hair. Whether that is the mini bag trend, mules, high waist mom jeans, denim on denim, big blowout or that cult Racheal hairstyle, I follow trends from the 90s on a daily basis,” she reveals.

I got it from my mum 

“Comfort is key,” Tara quips, referring to her afŠnity for lightweight occasion wear pieces. Like most of us, vanity for the actor began at home, who reveals she is guilty of pillaging her nani, mom and sister’s closets. “My mom and nani have really exquisite taste. So, I am very lucky that my twin sister Pia and I have access to some beautiful pieces of jewellery and saris from the 70s and 80s. I have been borrowing them since I was a kid.”
