All eyes on CM Devendra Fadnavis' wife Amruta: How the wife of a politician dresses for the public eye
As Devendra Fadnavis takes office as Maharashtra CM, all eyes are on his wife Amruta Fadnavis; here's how she stays stylish for campaign rallies or red carpets
As Devendra Fadnavis takes on his role as Maharashtra's 31st Chief Minister, the public eye naturally shifts to his fashionable wife, Amruta Fadnavis. Known for her coveted career in banking, singing, acting and activism, Amruta has long established herself as a strong, independent figure. However, it is her fashion choices — bold yet demure — that truly capture the essence of her personality and public role, making her a style icon when it comes to wives of politicians.
While Amruta is a trained classical singer, actor and a passionate social media influencer, the way she dresses goes beyond the clothes she picks; as the better half of the Chief Minister of Maharastra, always under scrutiny, Mrs Fadnavis has mastered mixing her personal aesthetic with more modest style. Let's take a look at a few of her Instagram moments to truly understand the thought behind her sartorial choices.
Amrita Fadnavis' style file
When it comes to her daily wear, Amruta usually favours traditional outfits such as sarees and salwar kameez sets, which are always thoughtfully paired with dupattas. An approach rooted in Indian values, she also dons a bindi with every outfit — a subtle but powerful statement that signifies her connection to both tradition and the values she, as well as her husband, upholds.
Amruta’s fashion journey is not defined solely by conservative choices; she also understands the power of making a statement when the occasion calls for it. It would not be amiss to say that this is the secret of her gravitas: she knows the power of duality, unlike her peers in the same arena. After all, the idea of different outfits for different occasions is rarely practised amongst politicians and party leaders.
At public events, she is not hesitant to embrace opulent sarees and sophisticated makeup, carefully styled to create a lasting impression; the whole routine ensures that she remains a prominent figure in the public eye, seen and remembered while supporting a cause.
Attributed to her singing career, Amruta also has one foot in the door of Bollywood and the same tactic is applied here. The singer is often spotted attending celebrity events like Avneet Kaur's birthday party dressed in lavish outfits and a getup that sticks.
She also knows how to dress for the stage. Spotted at the Bacche Bole Morya event in Mumbai alongside Salman Khan, her red suit embodied the ‘outfit of the moment’; a lesson in versatility. ‘Who was that lady dressed in red next to Salman Khan?’ remains the purpose of this sartorial choice.
Over the years, as she makes her own way through the spotlight or lends her husband a bit of flair as he navigates his way through the highest ranks of the country's legislature, there much we can learn from her when it comes to the art of dressing for the public.
