Rakul Preet Singh's Chic Melbourne Photoshoot

From the soft glow of sunrise to the warm tones of the golden hour, Rakul Preet Singh exudes effortless elegance in her latest feature as ELLE’s Digital Cover Star. The Melbourne-based shoot captured her in diverse settings, starting with intimate fittings at the chic 1 Hotel Melbourne and culminating with striking frames against the city’s iconic landmarks, including the vibrant AC/DC Lane.

Rakul’s ensemble—a brown plaid round-neck jacket paired with high-rise baggy jeans by US Polo Assn India, accented with Claudine earrings and a paper-clip chain from Viange Fine Jewels—perfectly balances style and approachability. Winter gommino ankle boots by Tod’s add a contemporary touch, merging comfort with sophistication.

Beyond the impeccable fashion, Rakul’s story is anchored in discipline and perspective. Reflecting on her upbringing, she shares, “I grew up in an army home. Discipline wasn’t taught to us—it was just life. Exercise, outdoor time, balance… it was normal.” This foundation has allowed her to navigate a demanding career with poise, balancing red carpet events, busy schedules, and personal well-being.

Her journey from a disciplined childhood to becoming a celebrated star speaks to a maturity that extends beyond her on-screen roles. Rakul Preet Singh is not merely pursuing balance in life—she is creating it with every choice she makes.
