Sherlyn Chopra is getting ready for the shoot as we reach her new Juhu apartment. It’s swanky and spacious, without excess furniture. While Chopra is busy with her make-up, we befriend her canine friends — Cherry, DooDoo and Bobby. A congenial host, Chopra offers us tea and snacks, and proceeds to give us a walk-through of her closet.

Wardrobe staples: “I cannot do without distressed jeans, black and white tank tops and leather jackets.”

Big no-no: “I love black, and absolutely hate neon colours. You will not find me wearing any neon or fluorescent shade, except when I am required to wear them for photo shoots. Another thing I avoid is wearing a lot of make-up. I hate being heavily dolled up.”

Favourite haunts: “I love shopping at BeBe on Linking Road, Bandra. I often shop at Zara, Forever 21 and FCUK. I love to shop from small boutiques and stores in New York and UK. Someday, I want to own a pair of jeans from Topshop in Sheffield, UK.”

Style icons: “I love Rihanna’s style statement. She can pull off outrageous attire and not make it look out of place. I also look to Kangana Ranaut for inspiration.”

No-heel policy: “I love sneakers and boots. I wear heels only when required. For me, style and fashion is all about comfort. So, I try to keep it simple.”

Five-minute ready: “If I was given five minutes to get ready, I would wear the first thing in my closet. However, I would definitely run a make-up check.”

Mum’s the word: “My mum had gifted me a top with a picture of a princess. It’s been with me for a few years now. However, it was long, and nobody wears long tops anymore. So, I chopped it to make it a crop top. I cannot bring myself to dispose of it.”
