Dysfunctional dynasty, dying palaces, diamond tantrums—and some seriously on-trend fits. Netflix’s The Royals might be about crumbling legacies and questionable financial decisions, but the real plotline? The fashion. From boardroom blazers to maximalist maharani glam, every character has a closet more expressive than their dialogue. Whether you’re the structured planner, the drama-dresser, or the royal rebel in tailored cashmere, there’s someone in this palace who mirrors your moodboard.
So, who’s your royal doppelgänger? The crown might be inherited, but the style? That’s all you.
Prince Aviraaj Singh (Ishaan Khatter): Rebellious Royalcore
Aviraaj is equal parts Maharaja and man-child. His fashion plays between privilege and protest—he can slip into ceremonial bandhgalas with ease, but also spends half his screen time in unbuttoned linen shirts, layered silver chains, and slouchy designer knits. The palette? Understated but luxurious. The fit? Always intentional, even when it’s ‘accidentally’ off-duty. He’s a reluctant prince with a model’s wardrobe. If your vibe is effortless layering, linen with edge, and expensive taste masked as minimalism, you’re firmly in Aviraaj’s camp.
Sophia Shekhar (Bhumi Pednekar): Power Party Corpcore
Sophia has mastered the look that dominates boardrooms by day and steals attention at ballrooms by night. Her wardrobe is sharply structured, dipping into slouchy yet cinched blazers, silk blouses, and wide-leg trousers that mean business. But she’s no minimalist—when the sun goes down (or when investor drama peaks), her style flips to sleek partywear: think high-slit skirts, metallic tops, and dramatic eyeshadow. This is corpcore with a nightlife edge. If your wardrobe thrives on sharply tailored blazers, high-octane accessories, and the thrill of being overdressed on purpose, Sophia is your fashion alter ego.
Padmaja Singh (Sakshi Tanwar): Timeless Regalwear
Padmaja is elegance personified, wrapped in saris that feel like family heirlooms reimagined for modern royalty. Her style speaks of discipline, quiet dignity, and a refusal to cut corners. She leans into classic Indian silhouettes, with rich fabrics and regal hues that photograph like a dream under chandelier lighting. If you’ve ever walked into a room wearing something timeless and made everyone else feel underdressed, Padmaja’s your match. You dress like you’ve inherited both taste and territory.
Maaji Saheba (Zeenat Aman): Maximalist Vintage Glam
Maaji doesn’t do subtle. Her wardrobe is a glorious overload—colours, patterns, dramatic capes, over-the-top neckpieces, and enough kundan rings to declare a personal state of emergency. Her aesthetic is maximalism with memory—everything looks like it has a backstory. If your closet includes feather-trimmed robes, oversized sunglasses indoors, and a “more is more” manifesto, Maaji might be your glam godmother in disguise.
Digvijay Singh (Vihaan Samat): Old Money Core
Digvijay dresses like he’s been groomed for legacy since birth—because he has. His style is classic aristocrat meets new-age heir: navy three-piece suits, sharply cut sherwanis, and dark wool coats that move like secrets. There’s always a pinky signet ring glinting on his hand, that says family crest, not fast fashion. His off-duty looks still play the part—argyle sweaters, thick-rimmed glasses, and the occasional beret. Every detail is deliberate, every fit speaks of heritage with just enough modern irony. If your aesthetic is polished, generational, and just a bit theatrical in its restraint, Digvijay is your sartorial twin.
Divyaranjini Singh (Kavya Trehan): Playful Statementcore
She may not have a career, but she’s crystal clear on her fashion sense. Divyaranjini’s style is playful, trend-aware, and built on contrasts—girly dresses with loud patterns, statement headbands that verge on tiaras, and earrings so big they might pick up satellite signals. Her outfits always look like they’ve been curated by someone who’s very online, but still has a drawer full of friendship bracelets from 2012. If you alternate between structured dresses and chaotic accessorising, and your getting-ready playlist is longer than your attention span, Divya’s your royal reflection.
Nawab Salauddin Khan aka Salad (Dino Morea): Baroque Maximalism
Salad is the male maximalist we didn’t know we needed. He’s flamboyant, flirtatious, and has a closet full of velvet, feathers, jewel tones, and anything that qualifies as theatrical. His clothes move with him, creating drama with every gesture. There’s always a touch of the unexpected. He dresses like he’s perpetually arriving at a masquerade ball thrown by the House of Gucci. If your style thrives on risk, layering, and a touch of the absurdly fabulous, Salad is your sartorial soulmate.
Yuvanath Singh (Milind Soman): Heritage Tailoring Core
Yuvanath was old money with a side of wellness cult leader. His wardrobe was all high tailoring and heritage cuts—polo jackets, crisp churidars, embroidered shawls, and cashmere that practically hummed. There was a brooch for every mood and a quiet authority in every outfit. If your fashion sensibility lies somewhere between palace heir and spiritual zaddy, you’re channelling Yuvanath—even from beyond the metaphorical grave.
Ayesha Dhondi (Nora Fatehi): Bombshell Glam
Ayesha’s wardrobe comes with a warning label: hazardous curves ahead. Think figure-hugging gowns, sheer panels, dresses with dangerous slits, and red lips that never flinch. She’s the woman who shows up overdressed for a brunch. Her look is bold, body-forward, and unapologetically provocative. If you believe clothes should be noticed and you collect stares like other people collect handbags, Ayesha’s fashion fire is your flame.
Niki Kaushik (Lisa Mishra): Cool-Girl Utility
Niki is the girl who walks into a room looking impossibly relaxed but somehow the most stylish. Her aesthetic is low-effort, high-impact: oversized dresses, bomber jackets, oversized blazers, sneakers that are both pristine and practical. There’s thought behind every ‘casual’ look, but it’s never forced. She’s a planner, a perfectionist, and the person who has backup outfits saved in a folder somewhere. If your look is part-creative, part-control freak, and entirely cool, Niki’s your mirror.
You don’t need a crown or a crumbling haveli to know your fashion holds power. 'The Royals' might be plotting their next move between auction parties and investor tantrums, but their wardrobes are already in check. From maximalist mischief to corpcore sharpness, this dynasty may not know what it’s doing—but it knows exactly how it looks.
So, who are you in The Royals fashion multiverse? The one planning the empire, burning it down, or just dressing for the throne you know is yours?
