Carrying an enticing trope of 'rich fallen to rags', Call Me Bae recently aired on Amazon Prime on 6 September and has been the talk of the town. In all honesty, we feel the show seems to fall flat even with a rudimentary plot and quirky characters, but the fashion is definitely its saving grace. 

Fashion critics have regarded Bella's (Ananya Panday) looks as the love child of 'Emily in Paris' and 'The Devil Wears Prada' crossed with an overdose of extroverted luxury. Some of the fits are customised, some thrifted, and some even Ananya's own—all certainly great inspiration in terms of mixing patterns and styles. 

Since we bit the bait and binged the entire show, here are our top favourite looks, along with a luxury bag collection (that seems to be worth a year's rent) that we cannot get enough of.

A Tweed Co-Ord Set

Featured in one of the first episodes, this look of Bae's is very Legally Blonde meets Emily in Paris meets Blaire Waldorf and establishes the narrative of old money. Very Chanel-coded, the pastel blue gives off a youthful spirit, and the sparkly headband adds the right amount of bling. The jewellery additions are also all about glitz and glamour. We admire the pearl waist chain, which makes the look more dainty and feminine. It is a fairly replicable look that's chic and sophisticated for formal events.

Pro-Tip: Check out alternatives to Chanel's iconic products to add to your vanity without breaking the bank.

An Off-Shoulder Sweater With A Sequinned Skirt

While we're not sure how much Bae slayed during her internship at the media company, but we're sure her office looks did. This office look caught our fancy the most. Aligned with the Bae's personality, it's bright, orange, and sequinned. The off-shoulder loosely knit sweater is casual yet put together, and the bright orange sequinned skirt adds that elevated zing, making it quintessential 'Bae'. It also represents how much the stylists played with different patterns and fabrics.

Pro-Tip: Turn this look into the perfect fall look by adding chunky boots. We've got some great fall outfit ideas here.

A Long Coat And A Leather Skirt

This look from Bae's first day in the newsroom is chic, stylish, modern, and definitely makes a statement. The newspaper-printed long coat, paired with an oversized green shirt, a bralette top, and a classic black skirt, all finished with stunning green heels, perfectly blends fashion and business. If you love experimenting and standing out, this one's for you. If you like the silhouettes, we suggest swapping the neon green shirt for something more muted.

Printed Shirt And Checkered Skirt

The clash of prints and textures in this look creates a funky, cool, retro, and edgy vibe. Rich colours, the tweed finish of the skirt, and scarves as head accessories add an elegant and feminine touch to her outfits —a recurring theme in most of her outfits. Definitely not for everyday wear, this look is perfect for brunches with the gals or formal day events. Each piece can be used separately for multiple outfits, making it a great addition to your wardrobe.

Space Buns, A T-Shirt Dress, And Silver Boots

This work look of Bae strikes the perfect balance between street-style fashion and Bae’s signature quirk. The oversized denim jacket with a graffiti-like print, paired with a blue T-shirt dress and silver boots, makes for a stylish casual-chic outfit. An oversized denim jacket is a fall/winter staple, allowing you to create a myriad of trendy and chic looks. Ideal for work or casual hangouts, this look earns top marks for reliability.
