Would you sport a high-fashion look that makes you look like a robot? Natasha Poonawall, the director of the Serum Institute of India (SII), is seen sporting a look that turned the comment section into a roasting session.
In the world of business, Poonawalla has a significant presence that transcends borders. Now, it seems Poonawalla is also making statements in the fashion world with her 2024 Met Gala, which got her praise globally.
For the recent Harpar’s Bazaar event in Mumbai that celebrates Women of the Year, she chose a Schiaparelli mini dress. The Internet was quick to notice her look for the evening and hilarious take on her high-fashion look.
A fan on social media commented ‘electric shop’ for the dress, which features several electronics like flip-phones, calculators, chipsets, and CDs. While another fan calls the Style Icon, “Chalta firta mobile repairing” (walking-taking mobile repairing) look.
When fashion looks like these come into the spotlight, you are sure to get some hilarious comments that showcase netizens’ creativity. While designers weave creativity using random products that are difficult to understand, there is a hidden thought behind their creations.
Poonawalla’s acceptance message gives a glimpse of her style while accepting the Style Icon of the Year Award. She says, “I’m a bit of a late bloomer stepping out of my fashion closet. As a teen fashion victim and enthusiast, my 20s was a phase of desperately trying to fit in… To me, realist expression is my true freedom. I aim to inspire, amuse, and position my fashion armor as wearable art…”
So, netizens’ amusement with her look justifies her outfit for the Harper Bazaar event. Internet creativity in naming the dress from ‘Motherboard dress’ to ‘Walking-taking Mobile Repairing Shop’ amuses even those who understand high fashion.
Some even compare her fashion to Urfi Javed, a self-proclaimed fashionista who showcases unique fashion choices often bordering on raunchy in front of the media. What do you think about high fashion dresses like Michelle Yeoh’s ‘foil dress’ or Kim Kardashian’s ‘Plastic Dress’ in comparison to Natasha Poonawalla’s ‘Electric Shop’ dress?
