Samantha Akkineni (or Samantha Ruth Prabhu) is not just a wonderful actor. She's a fashion icon too. While we're all waiting for her to woo the PAN-Indian audience with The Family Man Season 2, there's no reason why we shouldn't take a look at her wardrobe for some style inspiration. We love that Samantha prioritises comfort over anything else, and if you look at her wardrobe, you'll spot lots of handlooms, feminine silhouettes, and youthful prints.

Whether it's an airport look or an at-home look where she's found chilling with Hash Akkineni, her adorable doggo — her style is always on fleek. So, we've decided to put together an ultimate guide to dressing up like Samantha Akkineni. And the best part? Everything we've picked is made in India.

If we were to ask you what's your first memory of spotting Samantha on screen, wouldn't it be from Ye Maaya Chesaave? In her debut film, she's found wearing comfortable cotton sarees. One saree that looked great on her was a blue saree that we spot in a scene where Naga Chaitanya (her real life husband) confesses his feelings for her. Simple and comfortable — we found something similar at Suta. This blue cotton saree comes with a green striped border and we love that it can be paired with any blouse. Don't forget to Instagram this look when you get your hands on it.

In one of her recent Instagram posts, we've spotted her flaunting a Louis Vuitton box bag that we couldn't take our eyes off. Loved it? In that case, check out Tangerine's Croc Effect Studded Trunk Sling that is sure to lend a similar vibe. Made from vegan leather, this bag comes with a push lock and it's perfect for both date nights and brunches.

Samantha's style statement includes a lot of Indian wear. And ever since we spotted her in a red checkered kurta, we've been looking for one. Luckily, we stumbled upon this Checkered Monotone Kurta from ZNX4EVER. This bright red kurta comes with a solid palazzo pant, and what's not to love? You can style it in so many ways.

From denim jackets on sarees to Boho denim jackets on midi dresses — if there's one piece of garment that features in most Samantha's looks, it's a denim shirt or a jacket. Ever since we've spotted her in a denim on denim look, we've been wanting to try one. But you know the important rule of wearing a denim on denim? It's that the denim shirt should have a great fit — not oversized, not too tight. This denim shirt from Zachi just fits the bill. We love that it's light washed which means we can pair it with both lighter and darker shades of denim. 

Pink Kurta Stem Foil Pant

SaakixHash Gold Necklace

To talk about Samantha's fashion and not include her very own label — Saaki would be a sin, isn't it? While most clothes get sold out within minutes of their launch, the accessories are absolutely worth loading up on. This collection is close to her heart because it's inspired from Hash, her pet. It's a layered gold-coated chain that's made from brass, and finished with rhodium. It features an imprint of Hash's paw and also Samantha's tattoo.
