Love What Actor Samantha Akkineni Wears? Here's A Guide To Dress Like Her

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. 

Samantha Akkineni loves her bags and her Louis Vuittons and Chanels do make an occasional appearance on her Instagram and airport looks. 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. Made from silk-blend fabric, you can style it with a golden-coloured dupatta and accessorise it with stunning chaandbaalis. 

Headbands are clearly Samantha's comfort accessories, and we've spotted her wearing everything from florals to bows. For that effortless chic and comfort look, we recommend checking out this floral headband from Bohobi. We love that it's made from satin because it's gentle on our hair. While you're checking it out, browse all that Bohobi has because it's known for its adorable headbands. You'll surely find most styles that Samantha has! 

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. 

This is probably one of Samantha's best looks from 2018. A plain solid coloured kurta with a printed straight pants is a trend that's here to stay. If you're looking to nail this look, we recommend checking out this Pink Kurta Stem Foil Pant from True Browns. Both the kurta and pants come in silk blended fabric, and they can be customised in your size, if the desired size is unavailable. The set can be accessorised just the way Samantha has accessorised her kurta, and if you're wondering where to look, check out our list of the best statement jewellery brands here. 

Honestly, everything at Sole House is an epitome of comfort, great design, and quality. And thank god, we found an alter ego of Samantha's Gucci mules. This Rose Embroidered Black Velvet Mule from Sole House is a beautiful pair of handcrafted shoes that can take your style a notch up and above. It's hand-embroidered and we like that it can be worn with a pair of denim or even a kurta. If you're interested in checking out more colours, Sole House has quite a few and you can grab them on LBB. 

When it comes to something minimalistic, Label Rasleela is our go-to. And if you've been eyeing Samantha's oversized white dress long enough to desire owning it, this White Handkerchief Hem Dress from Rasleela is up for grabs. Oversized, easy-to-breathe, and perfect for those days when you're chilling at home but also taking work calls (yeah, yeah, we're talking about Fridays), this one fits the bill. Made from mul mul fabric, this also comes with an attached lining. 

Y'all are familiar with Samantha's popular beach look where she was found wearing a chequered co-ord set. While we couldn't find a set with pants, we found something similar. This Orange Chequered Co-ord Set from Leisure Loom has our heart. And why not? This label is all about crafting minimalistic and sustainable outfits from breathable fabric. This particular piece isn't just great for beaches — but also brunches. You can wear either sneakers or sling backs for scoring that perfect Instagram look. 

If there was one celebrity wedding that we were hooked to during the pandemic, it was Rana Daggubati's. And Samantha put together some lovely looks for the wedding and other rituals. What particularly caught our eye is the parrot green handloom saree that she wore for one of the rituals. And guess what? We found you something similar at LoopHoop. This Contrast Trim & Tassel Detail Solid Cotton Linen Saree is all about comfort and it also comes with a blouse piece. This brand works with different artisans and weavers, and you can expect lovely handlooms from them. 

Here's another look that we love! Samantha wore a stunning blazer to a Cancelled Plans event, and we love its plunging neckline and cut-out sleeves. If you're looking to style something of this sort, we totally recommend checking out this Striped Black Jacket & Culottes Co-Ord Set from The August Co. Made from polycotton, this piece is quite versatile and you can dress it up and down based on the occasion. Plus, you can style it with statement jewellery and bright red lipstick, just like Samantha. 

Another print that we'll often spot in Samantha's closet is florals. Whether it's bright yellows or understated whites — the star has a floral dress and jumpsuit in every colour. The long white maxi-dress that she was spotted in is perfect for pool-side brunches and dates, and if you've been meaning to get one, we've got just the dress for you. Cocktail House is known for its comfortable summer dresses, made from breathable fabric. And this Floral Printed Sleeveless Maxi Dress is worth checking out. What makes it more fun is the pom-pom details on it. Just grab a pair of mules and you're all set to step out! 

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.
