Jyotika served an innovative power dressing moment at the launch of her upcoming Netflix show Dabba Cartel’s trailer. Radiating quiet grace in a pinstripe ensemble, her look made a strong case for formal, corporate attire that’s still feminine. While draping is typically inherent to ethnic wear, this ensemble demonstrates that even contemporary attire can look cohesive with creative pleats and draping. Let’s have a look at Jyotika’s outfit and find out more.
Jyotika’s outfit was a custom creation by Shakti Tripathi—a Charcoal Chalk Stripe Drape Skirt paired with a Power Shoulder Shirt. Dressed in a muted grey tone, she carried a strong yet elegant presence. The structured, collared shirt added a formal, business-like touch, while the draped skirt introduced a hint of femininity. Drapes are usually more common in ethnic wear than in modern skirts, making this fusion particularly unique. In fact, the draped skirt almost mimicked the pleats of a saree.
Keeping the attention on her attire, Jyotika kept her accessories minimal. She wore a chunky silver hoop along with delicate studs in her two lobe piercings. For footwear, she chose grey pointed-toe heels that complemented the outfit perfectly.
For her hair and makeup, she opted for a soft, understated look to balance the boldness of her ensemble. It’s an unspoken rule in fashion—when the outfit is dramatic, the makeup and accessories should be toned down to let the overall look shine. Jyotika followed this principle effortlessly. Her hair was styled into a sleek, center-parted low bun, and her makeup featured soft touches—nude pink lips, voluminous lashes, and a blend of dusty pink and brownish eyeshadow, enhancing her natural beauty without overpowering the outfit.
