10 times Tamannaah Bhatia proved her everlasting love for the black dress

Tamannaah Bhatia has long cemented her place as one of Bollywood’s most reliably stylish stars. While she experiments fearlessly with colour and texture, there’s one shade she turns into a full-on fashion moment every single time: black. Whether she’s serving structured corsets, dramatic frills, sleek bodycon numbers or edgy cutout ensembles, Tamannaah has an unmatched talent for reinventing the little (or not-so-little) black dress. HELLO! India takes a look at 10 of her most striking all-black outfits.

1. Futuristic fierce

This Falguni Shane Peacock moment is pure high-fashion fantasy. With abstract sculptural shoulder loops and razor-sharp slashes running down the gown, Tamannaah commands the runway with clean makeup, slick hair and a power stance that makes the whole look even more dramatic.

2. Frills, please

With its sweetheart neckline, structured bodice and flirty fringe detailing, this look ticked every evening wear box. The corseted top cinches her waist beautifully while the flowing skirt added just the right dose of drama.

3. Sequins meet street

A black sequinned Gaurav Gupta gown worn over a grey H&M tee? Only Tamannaah could make that combination look editorial. Stacked diamond jewellery, a braided ponytail and minimal, clean makeup take this high-low pairing to the next level.

4. Power play

For the Zee Cine Awards, she slipped into a sharply structured Manish Malhotra blazer gown accented with a statement brooch. Her glowy makeup and side-swept voluminous bob softened the strong silhouette.

5. Retro bombshell

This Dolce & Gabbana x Skims bodycon dress channelled 70s glamour with its lace trimmings and hyper-flattering fit. Christian Louboutin heels, a Blair-Waldorf-esque headband, diamonds and bold makeup completed the look with retro movie star energy.

6. Peek-a-boo moment

Tamannaah once wore a custom black Gaurav Gupta blazer and draped skirt. The real scene-stealer was her scooped bralette with GG’s iconic metallic swan wing detailing.

7. Triump of trophy-core 

This mermaid-style black gown paired with a gleaming gold corset is a showstopper on its own, so Tamannaah lets it shine by keeping hair and makeup simple.

8. Treadmill to the runway

Standing atop treadmills like it’s the most natural runway in the world, Tamannaah turns an oversized black denim jacket and asymmetrical mini into a fashion statement with ankle boots, layered necklaces and barely-there makeup.

9. Sharp as a whip

The actress opted an asymmetric black satin dress cinched with a jewelled brooch and over-the-knee boots. The pulled-back hair, statement earrings, and soft glam keep the vibe sharp yet unfussy.

10. Fringe benefits

Tamannaah channelled feminine chic in this black Hervé Léger bodycon dress, complete with a fringed hem, cutouts and silver hardware. She paired it with black pumps, loose waves, metallic eyes and nude lips.
