Natasha Poonawalla is no stranger to the global spotlight. As the Executive Director of the Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer and the Chairperson of the Villoo Poonawalla Foundation, she plays a vital role in healthcare and philanthropy. At the same time, she has carved a niche for herself as one of India’s most recognized fashion voices, known for seamlessly blending glamour with influence on international red carpets and front rows.
This week in New York, Natasha made a double style statement at two high-profile events that celebrated both fashion and purpose.
An Elegant Evening with Chanel
Chanel recently hosted an intimate dinner in New York to unveil its new collaborative book with filmmaker Sofia Coppola. Among the select guest list was Natasha Poonawalla, who shared the spotlight with Lauren Sánchez Bezos. For the evening, Natasha chose a classic Chanel ensemble, styled with a signature Chanel bag, bold Atrangi earrings, and Saint Laurent heels, an effortless mix of Parisian refinement and her own fearless edge.
Making a Statement at the Caring for Women Gala
The very next night, Natasha attended the Caring for Women gala hosted by the Kering Foundation. The annual event, held during New York Fashion Week, raises awareness and support for survivors of gender-based violence. The evening draws some of the biggest names in fashion and film, and Natasha’s look reflected the gravity of the occasion. She wore a striking Balenciaga jacket paired with Jacquemus jewelry, a Staud bag, and Victoria Beckham heels, an outfit that was equal parts powerful and polished.
Fashion With a Purpose
What sets Natasha apart is how she uses fashion as more than just personal expression. Whether at a Paris couture show, a Met Gala red carpet, or now at philanthropic events in New York, she brings visibility not only to her style but also to the causes she supports. Her appearances are a reminder that true elegance lies in purpose as much as presentation.
