The girl who won the Miss Universe crown, Harnaaz Sandhu, has become a global symbol of grace, confidence and style. Harnaaz, who made her Bollywood debut with a double role in Baaghi 4, continues to inspire fans with her evolving fashion sensibilities that beautifully balance her Punjabi roots with an international perspective.
Reflecting on how her perspective evolved after winning Miss Universe, Harnaaz shared, “When I won Miss Universe, I had the opportunity to be around incredible designers from India and globally. When I went to New York, it changed me into a whole new person. New York did teach me a lot about fashion. I was very happy to see a huge change in my taste and understanding of how to use colours or accessorising. The Punjabi girl now had an international understanding of fashion.”
While she remains deeply connected to her Punjabi roots, her fashion choices today reflect the elegance and confidence of a true global icon.
At the heart of her style journey, however, is the influence of her mother. Harnaaz said, “I am going to give the maximum credit for my fashion sense to my mum. I was always fascinated with her beautiful suits. That was the only fashion I was fascinated by. But the tables have turned as now I’m the one telling my mum what kind of suits she should wear. I have taken that torch and it’s beautiful. I feel proud and give a pat on my back when people around me, my friends and everybody ask me for fashion tips.”
