'Vaccine queen' Natasha Poonawalla brings Venetian drama to the streets in a sculpted gown that doubles as art

Natasha Poonawalla is often dubbed the 'vaccine queen' (because of her role as the executive director of the Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer).

But just not that, the lady is also the reigning queen of maximalism and she is back with an avant-garde look that proves her fashion prowess and love for experimental style. Poonawalla is known for pushing the glam boundaries and is often seen in fearless haute couture that looks no less than fine art and her latest look is no exception.This fearless Indian socialite, philanthropist, and full-time fashion icon recently turned the streets of Venice into her personal runway.

Leaving the people looking at her in absolute awe, she seemed to have stepped straight out of an art installation, reminding us that art is not just to look at but is also meant to be worn.

She made a strong Venetian fashion statement and recreated an iconic outfit that made waves across the fashion world for its unique concept. Natasha chose a dramatic white ensemble that had the perfect balance of precision and vision.

Featuring layered conical discs sculpted around her waist and hips, the round pieces were set against a plain white full-length gown, exuding a futuristic overall appearance.

Natasha completed the statement look with an oversized circular hat that framed her face like a halo. She posed against the city’s historic architecture and recreated this one-of-a-kind look, which originally belonged to designer Pierre Cardin’s Spring-Summer 2013 collection.Paying homage to the French designer’s legacy with this architectural silhouette, she completed the styling with a diamond ring, a pair of pearl earrings, and a bold makeup look. Keeping the base luminous, she neatly sculpted her face with a muted-toned bronzer and contour, further enhancing her cheekbones with brown blush and generous highlighter.

Decorating her eyes with fluttery lashes, winged eyeliner, and a blend of earthy shades on the lids, Natasha invited drama once again with a blood-red lipstick that looked chic and balanced with her all-white outfit.Sealing the deal with her over-the-top high white heels, she refuses to tone down her fashion attitude and continues to celebrate being extravagant and unapologetically dramatic. For most, it might be a fashion gamble, but for Natasha Poonawalla, it’s a fashion crown.
