Poorna Jagannathan (born 22 December 1972) is an Indian-American actress and producer known for her fearless performances and sharp, socially conscious storytelling. She gained critical acclaim for her role in the bold, groundbreaking film Delhi Belly, and became widely recognised as Dr. Nalini Vishwakumar in Netflix’s global hit Never Have I Ever. With roles in The Night Of, Big Little Lies, and Defending Jacob, Jagannathan has established herself as a powerful, nuanced presence in both indie cinema and prestige television.

Her style is intelligent, artistic, and fashion-forward—often merging sculptural silhouettes with bold prints and unexpected textures. She gravitates toward labels that celebrate individuality and global influence, frequently appearing in looks by designers like Prabal Gurung, Bode, and Sabyasachi. Her eyewear follows suit: distinctive, architectural, and never generic. She favours oversized, angular frames and softly tinted lenses in rich earth tones or sleek metallics. Brands like Oliver Peoples or Garrett Leight align with her eclectic yet polished aesthetic. Whether on the red carpet or out in L.A., Poorna Jagannathan’s sunglasses mirror her essence—culturally attuned, strikingly original, and effortlessly cool.
