Keerthy Suresh

Keerthy Suresh makes summer florals look fierce. Her halter-style blouse with a plunging V-neckline redefines heatwave-ready glam. Set on a classic black base, the blouse bursts with vibrant floral motifs in shades of red, green, and orange. The golden zari and lace border adds just the right touch of tradition, while the backless cut and delicate tie-up knot inject a flirty, feminine edge. Ideal for a mehendi function or a modern-day sangeet, this look is perfect for fashion risk-takers.
